Event ads don’t get enough credit. Webinar or launch coming up? Run it like an event, not a line item.

I share how to make them count in an article for @sejournal.bsky.social

AI is a tool and my thinking partner.
Not to hand over strategy, but to ask questions, find mistakes, move faster.

The best results come when I bring my experience and AI together.
