DESCRIPTION

Each year, BBR Creative hosts "Dine & Discover" where they invite speakers to present on industry-specific tips and tricks. In 2013, I was asked to present an SEO 101 course, if you will. It was so successful that, for the first time since its inception, they hosted a second Dine & Discover that year in a different market.
