The Rockland Business Association has formed a Professional Marketing Council, a group that will support its members who work in, manage or run marketing departments.
This council is chaired by Ann Byne, principal of Suffern-based marketing and public relations agency The Byne Group, and is currently seeking members who will commit to meet monthly to share ideas, gain industry knowledge, and network.
Additionally, the council will host three events each year to provide members with insights and tools to market their businesses. Topics will include social media, public relations, branding and advertising.
“We hope this council will become a meeting of the minds,” Byne said.
The council”™s first meeting will be in June, and the first marketing event will likely be in early fall. The monthly council meetings are open to anyone currently working for a corporation, small business or agency whose role revolves around advertising, public relations, graphic design, social media or other marketing initiatives.
