Small Businesses Are in Transition and Need to Take Their Business and Teams Virtual. Epic Marketing Consultants is Here to Help.
An array of virtual training sessions to help small businesses transition to the new realities of a digital world is now available online, thanks to Epic Marketing Consultants’ recent launch of a specialized educational hub.
As the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic forced many businesses to close their doors to the public this spring, shifting their services and transitioning their employees to remote work, social isolation and social distancing have become the lay of the land. Small businesses especially have been thrown into a new world with no preparation—and no road map—to guide them.
This is where Epic Marketing, a full-service marketing and advertising agency, hopes to help with a series of online training sessions and resources.
“In a crisis, we always hear it’s important to look for the helpers,” says Nancy Dibert, CEO of Epic. “Truly, no business or individual has been untouched by the effects of this terrible disease and, as our world comes together to search for solutions, we at Epic Marketing want to do our part. As a business based in Delaware and New York City with clients and employees working all over the U.S., we hope these resources will go far to help our neighbors, our friends, and our colleagues, wherever they may be, find their way through this dark time.”
The resources—which are free to use by all—can be found online at https://epicmc2.com/epic-digital-world/.
