Workshop One: Customer Persona, led by Stacey Simmons, Creative Director, Cureate.

Thursday, January 30th, 1:00pm-2:30pm (virtual)

Entrepreneurs will imagine that they are speaking directly to that person and begin asking questions like ‘Who is that person?’ ‘Why is this person more likely to buy my product than someone else?’ ‘Where can you find that person?’
