SUMMARY:AAM High! Webinar: Are you Ready to be a Challenger?
DESCRIPTION:Let’s face it. Accounting marketers are in uncharted territory. The Post-COVID market is very picky\, AI is turning our traditional bread & butter services into toast\, and M&A is creating a lot of strange bedfellows. The market noise is deafening. How do we compete? This webinar presents an alternative marketing strategy once confined to start-ups\, esoteric/cult brands\, and smaller companies where authenticity\, audacity\, relevance\, and differentiation become the lifeblood of market strategy. Challenger Brand marketing could hold the key to breakthrough positioning and capturing the hearts and minds (and wallets) of clients and prospective clients\, alike. \nSpeakers \nAndrea Sardone \n \nAndrea Sardone is Director of Practice Growth at PBMares LLP\, headquartered in Newport News\, Virginia. She has expertise in digital marketing borne from a mashup of 20+ years of marketing and communications experience and a previous career in technology. She has held leadership roles in “industries in transition”\, including higher education\, media\, and tourism. Now in accounting\, she finds familiar ground where transformation is a must and an opportunity to flex some B2C muscle in a B2B environment. Andrea holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Kentucky and it’s fair to assume she is a basketball fan. She and her partner and their 4 dogs live in Norfolk\, VA. They can (all) usually be found at a brewery playing trivia—an opportunity for Andrea to leverage some of the otherwise useless information she’s acquired over the years to get free beer.

SUMMARY:Virtual Campfire: Recruiting Marketing- How are you fighting (and hopefully winning) the talent war?
DESCRIPTION:Potential employees might be the most important audience we can target. What does “recruiting marketing” mean in your firm? What best practices are you transferring from client acquisition strategies to recruitment marketing? How are your roles changing\, given an increased focus on talent acquisition? Please come prepared to share how your firm is fighting (and winning!) the talent war. \nSME \nAlison Simons \nAlison (she/her) for seven great years\, was the head of marketing for a regional CPA firm in Greater Boston where she would joke “if it’s not a tax return or an audit\, it crosses my desk.”  She was responsible for branding and online marketing\, recruiting and firm culture\, business development and proposals\, and more.  Even though she had a job\, she was getting requests from other CPA firms to help with their marketing; which is\, supposedly\, how you know you’re onto something good.  In 2013 she became an entrepreneur.  In order to serve more clients\, she attracted a team of really amazing people who focus on specialty areas within marketing because (get ready for one of her catch phrases) “Marketing is one word that means a lot of things” and it’s all too much for any one person to be good at.  So\, now she focused on working directly with clients on strategies to help them reach their goals while overseeing more of the activities. Alison is a member of MassCPAs\, ProVisors\, and AAM. She has presented multiple times at the MassCPAs annual conference\, and has been featured on the Marketing Mistakes (and how to avoid them)\, and Stop the Noise podcasts. \nFacilitators \nRaissa Evans \nRaissa joined Weaver as head of digital and lead gen in 2020\, a full-service national CPA and advisory firm.
