“Small business owners and their shops, restaurants, products and services have a significant impact on the stability and vibrancy of our local community,” said WEV Marketing Manager Lysa Urban. “We’re thrilled to have industry expert Lindsey Carnett share her marketing expertise at our free, monthly meetup event – this is just one of the many ways to support our local business owners.”
WEV’s Strong Women, Strong Coffee monthly meet-up/community empowerment group is intended to connect likeminded business owners, inspire collaboration, and encourage learning from each other.
The format is a 30-minute conversational interview followed by 15-minute breakout rooms where participants get to connect with each other and share what they learned during the interview. At the end, all rejoin the group to go over any remaining questions and thank everyone for joining.
Carnett, who has been featured in Forbes Most Powerful Women Business Leader issue, has shared her business expertise globally to enlighten marketing peers, clients, and students about best practices in using PR, social media and influencer marketing to drive revenue, improve organic SEO and grow a positive online reputation.
Now in its eleventh year in business, her marketing and communications firm serves both domestic and international clients.

Carnett is also a WEV Spirit of Entrepreneurship Award winner in the Communications & Media Category from 2019 and a 2020 Enterprising Women Award Honoree.
