NY > FL > CA + BACK AGAIN

WORKING WITH BUSINESS OWNERS FROM WFL TO WNY

The BLKDOG Fall 2024 review: starts, with a trip to Clearwater Florida, where we had the pleasure of working with the AMPLIFY Clearwater team on two great programs for their members: A series of tourism industry Lunch and Learn webinars and a five-week Master Marketing & Brand Development Bootcamp to help area small businesses take their companies to the next level.

We kicked off the Bootcamp in person on September 10, and after a bit of a setback with back-to-back hurricanes, we wrapped up with a program graduation on November 19. 

Thank you to the participants of both of these great programs and the AMPLIFY team, for their trust and enthusiasm!

We spent some time in Western New York this fall, too. First, acting as a moderator for an exciting panel at NYATEP’s Workforce Conference in Rochester. Then, we jet-set over to Buffalo for two days of on-the-street video work for the Buffalo Small Business Development Center (SBDC) as part of a state-wide project.

PROJECT KICKOFF IN LONG BEACH, CA

Some of our team celebrated the Halloween season in sunny Southern California as we kicked off an exciting project for the City of Long Beach’s Economic Development Department.

Chris, Alexis, and Jesse met with Think Place Agency’s Nur Asri, the department team, and Commune Communications for a launch meeting, followed by two days of neighborhood tours.

We’re excited to keep the momentum going as we begin meetings with stakeholders and business development representatives from the city’s many diverse neighborhoods.

BRAND + PROJECT LAUNCHES

Though our team hit the road for photo and video shoots, client meetings, panels, and much more this season, we also launched some significant projects. Some were started this summer, and others have been in the works for much longer, but each warrants a little celebration, and to be included in the BLKDOG marketing and branding recap.
