Build your CPG brand’s marketing strategy
in one weekend with one sheet
Creating a marketing strategy is complicated. When it comes to CPG brands, it can be even more complicated.
When you first start out, there are so many exciting ideas, conflicting directions, and “gurus” giving wild advice, that it’s hard to know where to start!
How do I reach my target audience?
Once I reach them, what do I say to get them to buy?
Do I need a 20-page plan? Or should it be 5 pages only?
How do I organize all I want to do? It’s so hard to keep track of and manage!
It’s so hard to focus! How can I do all of this marketing? And will any of it actually move the needle?
With this course, you can create your marketing strategy
with just ONE Google Doc!
You only need 3 Days to create
your marketing strategy!
Welcome to
OWMS for CPG Brands
The OWMS CPG Workshop will help you position your brand, outline your strategy, and create your full plan in just one weekend.
Includes:
Downloadable Workbook (100+ pages of thought-provoking questions and helpful diagrams)*
One Guided Introduction Session full of basics to ensure a good foundation
Three Guided Video Sessions full of info and activities broken down into multiple lessons, including easy to follow visuals, guiding you through the workbook (see Syllabus below for more)
Access to:
Helpful templates, including full Marketing Plan Outline, Budgeting Sheets, and Campaign Timelines
Resources to help you before, during, and after the program
Access to an exclusive Substack for entrepreneurs and business owners
*If you’re like me, you analyze everything to bits and you might think, “Wait, you said one Google doc, what’s this 100 pages all about?”
The workbook offers areas for you to think through how we create a strategy that can be done on one sheet of paper. Then, whenever you have a new SKU or new launch, or just planning for the next quarter or year, you can open a Google Doc and know exactly how to use it to create a fast and simple marketing plan.
What makes OWMS different?
“Many marketing courses are meant to be taken over a month or more. This is a workshop you can do over the weekend. As an entrepreneur or small business owner, who has time for long drawn-out courses? I know I certainly didn’t when I was launching my CPG brand, which hit shelves of major retailers within several months of launch. Stop wasting time creating sporadic IG or TikTok posts and get a real strategy together that will deliver long-term results! ”

Our mission is to help entrepreneurs strategically launch or market their businesses with consulting, courses, and a community that are cost-efficient and flexible, using ever-evolving expertise and real-world experience to guide founders and help nurture their startup or small business growth.
