About The Local Edit In Person Workshops
The Local Edit isn't just 'another' marketing workshop it's your shortcut to digital confidence, designed specifically for Local Business, often time-poor, wearing all the hat and tired of feeling overwhelmed by social media.
Over two power-packed days, you'll transform from "What should I post?" to "Wow, I've got this!" with hands-on sessions that blend big-brand strategy with down-to-earth simplicity. No fluff. No outdated tactics. Just proven systems that work for real businesses with real constraints.
This is where sophisticated & fast paced marketing strategy meets your local reality. Where you'll create actual content instead of just taking notes. Where you'll walk away with templates, tools, and the confidence to show up consistently online without it consuming your entire week.
Think of it as your digital marketing mini bootcamp, but with better views, genuine community, and someone who actually gets what it's like to run a business on line & locally.
Get Your Business the Online Results It Deserves
You've built something amazing. The problem isn't your business - it's that potential customers can't find you online. We'll look at what you're doing now, fix what's broken, and give you a clear roadmap with tools and templates that actually work for businesses like yours.
In this workshop, we'll dive into real examples from businesses just like yours and show you exactly what's working. You'll walk away with proven templates, a clear content strategy, and hands-on help tailoring it all to YOUR business. Plus, you'll be surrounded by other local business owners facing the same challenges.
About Your Host
Kristen Werner

The woman who makes Digital Marketing make sense for YOUR Business.
Kristen Werner isn't your typical marketing guru. She's a powerhouse visionary with 15+ years of brand and marketing expertise who traded the corporate world for something more meaningful helping local businesses thrive online without losing their souls (or their weekends).
As the former Brand Manager for Santos, including the internationally recognised Santos Tour Down Under, Kristen mastered the art of big-brand strategy.
But her real magic?
Translating those complex concepts into simple, actionable systems that actually work for small business owners.
Based right here on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula, Kristen gets the unique challenges of regional business. She's the Co-Founder of The Hive Hub Collective, a multi-six-figure membership platform that has empowered hundreds of women to build sustainable online income.
She also operates a boutique wedding venue on Werner Vineyards, where she applies the same brand storytelling principles to create meaningful experiences.
Kristen's approach is refreshingly human: she believes powerful branding shouldn't require a marketing degree or consume your entire week it should amplify who you already are. She's here to be your permission slip to show up boldly online, with the strategy and soul to back it up.
When she's not helping businesses find their voice, you'll find her juggling motherhood, building her legacy, and proving that women & Small Business don't fade in this noisey Digital Lanscape.

Why This Workshop, Why Now?
The Digital Landscape Has Changed
What worked five years ago doesn't work today. Consumer behaviour has shifted, algorithms have evolved, and small businesses need fresh strategies that actually convert.
AI is Your Competitive Advantage
While others are still figuring out social media basics, you'll master AI-powered content creation that saves hours and delivers results.
Consistency Beats Perfection
The businesses winning online aren't the ones with the biggest budgets — they're the ones showing up consistently with clear, confident messaging.
Your Community Needs You
Local businesses that master digital marketing don't just survive — they become the heartbeat of their communities. Your visibility matters more than ever.
Time is Your Most Valuable Asset
Stop spending hours creating content that doesn't work. Learn systems that scale, tools that save time, and strategies that actually drive results.
This isn't about keeping up with trends it's about building a sustainable digital presence that grows your business while giving you your life back.
