“Just completed Maria Bryan’s Thrive Activator course! This week, Maria helped me dive deeper and get into the nitty-gritty of my marketing strategy for HVAF. I worked on creating a more specific target audience for my content, set goals, and now have a marketing campaign that’s *almost* ready to launch! Thanks, Maria, for sharing your wisdom with me. I look forward to implementing all that I learned into future HVAF marketing campaigns, so we can continue helping veterans off of the streets and into a life of self-sufficiency.”

“I took the Thrive Marketing [Training], and it was so helpful. I left totally motivated and with actionable and manageable next steps that I feel, even with limited time and resources, my team can implement. I have a staff meeting on Wednesday that I’m going to be sharing this during, and I’m really excited to get the rest of the team involved. This deck is going to be so helpful.”

“Maria teaches you to create a marketing plan by breaking the process down into easy-to-do steps. I learned a lot about the basics of marketing through her workshop. I especially liked the hands-on aspect of this workshop. It made the content easier to absorb, and I could better envision how I would use the tools in real-world practice.”
