Additional Resources for Digital Marketers During Covid-19

Manage Your Business Remotely in Times of Uncertainty from Google

This is the first time in many years that we didn’t get the opportunity to host the Annual Grow With Google Small Business Week Seminars at Demand Quest. It’s an event that we generally love to host because we get to meet new small business owners and marketers, we get to learn about best practices from Google, and we get to see former students. While we were unable to host, we still want to share Google’s talk so here’s how to Manage Your Business Remotely in Times of Uncertainty from Google. You can find it on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/c/GrowwithGoogle/videos

If you have any questions about how to restructure your campaigns during these uncertain times, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d love to talk about what’s going on and how to stay relevant during Covid by submitting a message in the form above.
