In the wake of a natural disaster, businesses often face significant challenges, including market disruption, loss of customer engagement, and shifts in customer needs. This workshop is designed to help small business owners navigate these challenges with practical strategies to rebuild, rebrand (if needed), and come back even stronger.

Led by Murphy Funkhouser, an experienced marketing and brand strategist and Mountain BizWorks facilitator, this 3-session workshop will provide actionable insights into overcoming market disruption while maintaining resilience and adaptability. Participants will learn how to assess market changes, re-engage their audiences, and implement innovative marketing strategies to rebuild value and visibility in their communities.
