The Renasant Center for IDEAs is a small business incubator managed and operated by the Community Development Foundation.

 

The Community Development Foundation (CDF) and Mabus Agency have partnered to offer free one-hour marketing strategy sessions for entrepreneurs, startups, and growing businesses. This will add to the program of work offered at the Renasant Center for IDEAs.

As an alumnus of the Renasant Center for IDEAs, CDF’s business incubator, Mabus Agency is proud to give back by helping local businesses make smarter marketing decisions. Whether you’re exploring a new business idea, refining your brand, or looking for strategic direction, these sessions provide an opportunity to receive objective, experienced guidance at no cost.

Because availability is limited, submitting an application does not guarantee a session. Applicants will complete a brief questionnaire, and sessions will be awarded based on where we believe we can provide the greatest value. You do not need to be a CDF member to participate.
