My POV of the successful BBE trade fair! I was there on behalf of my digital marketing agency @nvmbrmedia and it was such a delightful event. It was a great experience having strategy sessions on the spot with prospective clients and the highlight for me was pitching my agency to The Mayor of Edmonton. Thanks to @blackbusinessedmonton for this opportunity, and I look forward to the next edition 🚀💯
