In this episode of Event Experience by Bizzabo, host Rachel Moore speaks with Dawn Farrow, founder of On Sale Group, about the realities of marketing live experiences in today's attention economy. Dawn shares her unconventional path from performer to agency founder and the lessons she learned building a marketing agency dedicated to live events.
