Solopreneur Circus - Branding, Tools, & Tactics

April 29, 2026
12:30pm
Featured Speaker: Bill Petrie, brandivate

Running a one-person business can feel like a three-ring circus: you’re the CEO, marketing manager, salesperson, admin, and janitor – all while you’re trying to build a brand that truly stands out. Bill Petrie, Founder & Creative Director of brandivate and longtime solopreneur, will pull back the curtain on what it takes to build a brand that matters without dropping all the balls you’re juggling. Through humor and real-life experiences, you’ll see firsthand how to make your brand anything you want it to be, and how to make that vision a reality.

Learning Outcomes

Reframe branding as an intentional act and not a visual exercise
Identify the specific reasons solopreneurs struggle to build and sustain a strong brand
Apply practical tools to build and protect a brand while doing everything within the business
Define what each participant wants their brand to be and align systems to support that decision
