The Myth of "If You Build It, They Will Come": Exploring Why Your Program Needs a Proactive Marketing Strategy

Time to debunk a myth that's been floating around for way too long. It's this idea that if you create something valuable, be it a service, a product, or initiative, your audience will somehow discover it on their own and beat a path to your door.
