Helping newspaper advertisers understand the importance of marketing amidst COVID-19

Mar 27, 2020

AUGUSTA, Georgia, — Advertisers struggle daily to grasp how COVID-19 will impact their business operations.  In a similar regard, media sales representatives are also struggling to empathize, educate and guide newspaper advertisers on the importance of marketing during the COVID-19 crisis.  Ryan Dohrn, a 28-year media sales and marketing veteran, has created a 90-minute workshop called, Helping Newspaper Advertisers Understand the Importance of Marketing Amidst COVID-19.     

This on-demand webinar is online now.  Dohrn is using this webinar to raise money for various charity organizations also impacted by the COVID-19 crisis.  So, far, his webinars have raised $2,600 for the Golden Harvest Food Bank.

Some of the promised takeaways from the webinar will be: 

  1. How to show empathy without getting into a COVID-19 debate.
  2. How to explain the NASCAR effect of getting 3 laps down when advertisers pull ads.
  3. How to show examples like Kellogs and Dominos that doubled down on marketing in a crisis and came out as market leaders after a crisis.
  4. How to help advertisers re-define their core audience for survival.
  5. How to use technology to meet with advertisers when face-to-face is not an option.

COST:  $29  - All proceeds, beyond internal costs,  will go to the Golden Harvest Food Bank.  The webinar fee Includes a full copy of all Dohrn's research links and materials to use.
