La Roche Students to Present Crash Course in Branding for Small Businesses
PITTSBURGH, April 16, 2018 – On April 23 La Roche University marketing and communications students will consult with local small-business owners to help them identify and promote their brands.
The event, hosted by La Roche’s Marketing and Communications Departments and the Pittsburgh North Regional Chamber, will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Ryan Room of the Zappala College Center.
“Most small businesses cannot devote the proper time to their brand and social media management. This event will help those small businesses gain useful tools to manage their online brands,” Rishi Bahl, Ph.D., assistant professor of marketing, said.
Students, prepared and advised by Dr. Bahl, will work one-on-one with small-business owners, helping them learn to identify their brands, discover tools they can use to foster their brands and explore how to communicate their brands through social media.
Dr. Bahl said, “Students will get firsthand experience in a client situation and test their comprehensive knowledge on social media management for small businesses. This event will allow them to gain experience applying their knowledge to real-life scenarios.”
