2B Guerrilla Marketing Makeover online training programme


A 30-day guided journey to find your company’s marketing magic

The 2B Guerrilla Marketing Makeover programme is an interactive online training course that will completely change the way that you think about your company’s marketing; that will give you practical ideas about how to do your marketing on a limited budget; and that will assist you in making a working plan – built specifically for YOUR small business – that will take your business to new heights of profitability.

The origins of this programme

The 2B Guerrilla Marketing Makeover programme is based on Guerrilla Marketing principles combined with a highly practical knowledge of marketing for SMMEs in the South African context.

The course convenor is 2BBusiness.co.za’s Founder and Editor, Ann Williams, who is also a Certified Guerrilla Marketing Coach and who for many years has guided Gauteng-based small businesses in how to effectively market their enterprises on a shoestring budget.

This consulting process has been taken online (in the form of the 2B Marketing Makeover) and added to using various Guerrilla Marketing methods and tools so that business owners from around South Africa can now also participate – and so that local entrepreneurs can get the major benefits of private consulting and focused training at a fraction of the usual market price.

This means that small business owners can now afford to have the external assistance with their marketing strategy that they may need.   

About the programme

The 2B Guerrilla Marketing Makeover is an intensive 30-working day programme that is run over a six week period. It is geared for owners of small-, micro- and medium-sized enterprises (SMMEs) that have been established for a year or more, and who want to get significantly better results out of their marketing efforts and expenditure.
