The Augusta Metro Chamber will host Third Thursday Business Builder on October 18 with Dr. Tony Robinson of Rural Sourcing, Inc. discussing ‘Marketing Strategies: Getting others as excited as you about your business’.  The October Third Thursday Business Builder will be held at the Augusta Metro Chamber office and begins at 11:30 am with lunch provided.

Budgets are limited, options are endless – a marketing strategy can bring these diverging points closer together by maximizing return on the right investments.  Developing a strategy or evaluating one from the middle is a challenge that all companies share.  According to Hubspot, 40% of companies don’t know how effective their current marketing strategy is and 26% aren’t sure they are capitalizing on the right technology platforms.

Dr. Robinson will discuss marketing considerations for your business or organization, including maximizing your brand story, managing your marketing strategy for business growth and technical considerations in an increasingly digital market place.

Anthony (Tony) Robinson, Ph.D. is the Software Development Center Director for Rural Sourcing, Inc. in Augusta, Ga.  Previously, Tony was an assistant professor and interim MBA program director at Augusta University where he taught and mentored undergraduate and graduate students.  Tony earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Strategic Management from the University of Alabama, an MS in Organizational Change from Georgia State University, an MBA in IT from Old Dominion University, and a BS in Business Administration in Finance from Augusta University.
