Wednesday September 9^th, from 4:30pm – 7:30pm at LunchBox Laboratory in Bellevue.

Running a social media campaign can be amazing, expensive, fruitful, and frustrating. Things change in the blink of an eye! What was popular one day will be left and forgotten the next. On top of it all, it can be incredibly time consuming, and who has free time these days?

For those entrepreneurs and business owners out there, shaking their heads in frustration can soon breathe a sigh of relief. Reinforcements are on the way.

The BizX community has many high quality social media experts as members who want to share their expertise with the rest of the community. We brought some of them together to answer the questions that have been driving you batty!  Come listen and ask questions to alleviate that social media stress.

Employees act as the face and lifeblood of a company. They need to be motivated, happy and able to work as a team. This leads to more productivity, better retention and ultimately more cash flow for the business.

Most companies turn to activities or team building events of various degrees. At the pinnacle of these sits the king of cohesion, John Chen and Geoteaming, the innovative team building adventure around the sport of geocaching.

Creating engaging and inspiring content is hard, often times maddening and seemingly impossible. Anyone that has been forced to write a headline, blog or product description knows what I’m talking about. It can be even harder for business owners and entrepreneurs that are usually wearing a variety of hats, marketing often being one of them.

Have no fear, Ann Handley is here! She mind as well be the superwoman of marketing. Writing books, speaking to the masses and tweeting up a storm, Ann is helping people all over the world take their content creation and marketing to new heights.

Unless you’re scanning the airwaves 24-7 and scrolling social media all day, there is no way you are going to catch all of the valuable content flying around. In fact, you’d probably have better luck drinking from a firehose…

Entrepreneurs and business owners have the need for quality content, guidance and new ideas, but it can be hard to find the time to sift through the debris. Luckily for us, there is Jesse Torres, an expert in marketing, public relations, risk management and a score of other skills that make him a worthy follow for the sagacious entrepreneurs and business owners out there.

There are pieces of furniture and then there are works of art that double as furniture. Works that exude the theme or vision of a setting, something that is either a grand find or a custom job. You know the type, the ones that ooze craftsmanship and talent, where you can actually see the love and passion imbued into each piece. Jesse, of Crafthammer Design is an artist of such caliber.

Maybe you’ve seen his work in a magazine or perhaps you wandered by the showroom in Kirkland.  Perhaps the rustic, aged feel really stood out when you saw his work at the 2014 Holiday Party or one of the tradeshows he has attended.  Whenever or wherever you saw a bench, table or chair made by Crafthammer Design, it surely left a lasting impression.

We recently had the chance to sit down with the owner and operator of Crafthammer Design, Jesse Wood, to talk furniture, fabrication and of course, BizX.
