Join The Marketing Lab, a free monthly session by acorn30 for business owners, nonprofit leaders, and comms pros who want clarity, not confusion.
how it works
The Marketing Lab is a no-cost, live marketing forum hosted by the acorn30 team.
each 1-hour session includes:
-
A 10-minute expert insight from an acorn30 strategist or guest
-
Open Q&A—ask anything about marketing strategy, tools, or campaigns
-
Actionable, jargon-free advice (and zero sales pitch)
It’s not a webinar. It’s a working space for leaders who want practical, real-world insight.
Inside the Marketing Lab
The Marketing Lab is designed as a working session for marketers and business leaders who want to step back from day-to-day execution and think more critically about what’s actually driving results.
Each Lab brings together a small group and a featured guest to explore a specific topic—through open discussion, practical examples, and shared experience. It’s not a webinar or a presentation. It’s a conversation.
who it's for
this is for you if you’re:
- Running a business, nonprofit, or public program
- Solo or on a small team trying to make marketing work
- Looking for real answers, not more fluff
