ATLANTA (PRWEB) JANUARY 26, 2018
SmithBrown Marketing, an all-female marketing consulting firm, will join the 2018 Women’s Entrepreneurship Initiative (WEI) Class. In 2016, the city of Atlanta launched the Women’s Entrepreneurship Initiative, a program providing 15 women business owners office space and resources to grow their businesses through a 15-month incubator program.
With a shared focus on women’s empowerment in the Atlanta business scene, WEI and SmithBrown share the belief that women’s empowerment equals community empowerment. According to the National Association of Women Business Owners, only 4.2% of all women-owned businesses break $1 million in revenue, and SmithBrown is on track to buck that trend. “Not only are we going to break down that barrier,” said Kara Brown, founder and CEO of SmithBrown Marketing, “but we’re going to do it with an all-female team. We work hard, empower each other, and hold each other accountable.”
WEI works to leverage Atlanta’s burgeoning entrepreneurial ecosystem to amplify women’s contribution to the economic growth of the city as innovators, problem solvers and job creators.
