- Boost your Business European Roadshow“Boost Your Business with facebook” is a series of one-day free events designed to teach how to leverage digital solutions like Facebook to connect with new customers, grow awareness of your brand, drive new sales and see small and medium businesses flourish. The tour took place across ten locations in Europe in 2016. I designed and developed the registration website, all signage, collateral and uniforms for each location.
