Running a small or home-based business in Banyule or Nillumbik? Your online story might be doing more heavy lifting for your business than you realise.
For a lot of home-based and small business owners, social media is the shopfront. It’s often the first, and sometimes only, impression a potential customer gets of you and what you do. If that story isn’t landing, they’re scrolling straight past to someone else’s.
That’s exactly what this year’s Small and Home-Based Business Forum is here to help with. Banyule Council has partnered with Nillumbik Shire to bring together home-based and small business owners for a half-day forum, all about telling your story online, and telling it well.
Keynote speaker Jordana Borensztajn is a communications expert, journalist, author and in-demand public speaker who has spent more than 20 years helping people find their voice, from newsrooms and boardrooms to corporate stages across Australia, Japan, the US, the UK and beyond.
She will walk you through:
✅ How to tell a story that actually connects with the right customers
✅ Why some platforms work better for your kind of business than others
✅ Why it’s honestly not as scary as it feels
Plus structured networking with other business owners who get exactly what you’re juggling, and a proper sit-down lunch to keep the conversations going.
