New Jersey (PRWEB) January 28, 2016 -- Rising Tide Capital (RTC) is kicking-off the 2016 Start Something Challenge (SSC) with the annual “Share Your Story” seminar series—a six-month series of marketing and branding workshops held in both Hudson and Essex Counties. Starting today, Thursday, Jan. 28 in Jersey City, NJ, entrepreneurs can attend one business marketing workshop per month until June to prepare for the chance to win cash prizes through RTC’s statewide business pitch competition.

...we hope that in 2016 even more entrepreneurs attend our preparatory events and put their best foot forward to win the $10,000 grand prize

Post this

RTC offers year-round seminars as part of the continued services available to Community Business Academy graduates; however, the Share Your Story workshops are open to the public. Attendees will learn how to craft messaging for their target audience, create effective marketing materials for print and web, and put together marketing plans. Each workshop will feature experts in branding, social media, public relations, graphic design and video marketing.

“The Start Something Challenge is a unique opportunity for any New Jersey entrepreneur to strengthen their marketing skills and get the chance to win a business grant,” said Communications Manager and SSC Coordinator Justyna Krygowska. “Last year’s SSC participants, who took advantage of our Share Your Story marketing series, saw a huge improvement in their business. That’s why we hope that in 2016 even more entrepreneurs attend our preparatory events and put their best foot forward to win the $10,000 grand prize.”

The 5th Annual Start Something Challenge, hosted by Rising Tide Capital, is free to enter and open to any New Jersey resident 18 years or older who either operates a microbusiness making less than $250,000 annually or has a strong business idea. With more than $25,000 in cash and prizes up for grabs, including a $10,000 first prize, the competition launches in June 2016. Participants must create a 30 second video commercial for their business or business idea, using the Animoto platform. To ensure that every participant has a chance to win the top prize, Rising Tide Capital provides each entrant with hands-on coaching and tutorials through the following workshops:

"Rising Tide Capital's new home is a symbol of our commitment to the city, the entrepreneurs of Newark and the surrounding region, and the many community partners we work with towards our shared vision of economic opportunity," said Keith Dent, Senior Manager for Regional Expansion. "While this isn't the launch of our operations in Newark, it is definitely the launch of a new era for Rising Tide Capital with the launch of an office that can sustain expanded programming and services for our entrepreneurs."

Currently, the organization operates 4 sessions of its nationally recognized Community Business Academy in the City of Newark in both English and Spanish, across three different wards.

Newark Mayor, The Honorable Ras Baraka will join us for a ceremonial ribbon cutting. Refreshments will be served.
