FOUNDERS TABLE – AN AMAZON LIVE EVENT SERIES
WAS CREATED TO CONNECT AND INSPIRE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
Following the pandemic, the Amazon Small Business Academy wanted to provide connection opportunities for Amazon sellers, entrepreneurs, and small business owners. Founders Table, a live event series that rotated host cities around the country, was created as a virtual and IRL gathering place to ask questions, share experiences, and spark conversation.
Two-hour live shows included a featured guest, a small business spotlight, and opportunities to connect on key topics of interest. Guests included famous founders, a Top 100 CEO, and successful Amazon sellers from San Francisco, Detroit, and New Orleans.
Creative included: set design/build, storytelling + content, promotional materials, live broadcast + webcast, and on-demand content for the Amazon Small Business Academy website.
