Marketing training for teams that have to do it Monday.
Spark41 trains marketing teams, owners, and nonprofit staff across Elkhart County and Michiana, inside organizations and in public seminars at The Sterling Room in Elkhart, including 5 Minute Marketing, led by co-founder Alex Bicknell. The training is practical: every session ends with something the attendee can use that week.
What this looks like inside your business.
- In-house training built around the team's current work and responsibilities.
- Owner and leadership sessions that connect marketing activity to business numbers.
- Public seminars and workshops at The Sterling Room in Elkhart.
- Curriculum drawn from 5-Minute Marketing and the operating work behind it.
- AI and automation training for marketers with clear review and privacy rules.
- Sales and marketing sessions that give both teams one process and message.
Training uses the organization's real calendar, material, channels, and decisions. Attendees practice on work they already own, record the method, and leave with a specific next action. Leadership can see what the team learned and what support remains necessary.
When organizations bring this to us.
- The coordinator has the title and not the training.
- The team has tools and no method.
- The board wants to understand the marketing it is paying for.
