Stop by the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut’s downtown Regional Innovation Center every Friday to visit with a Miranda Creative team member in the Chamber’s new collaborative space. One of their professionals will be working from the Center from 9 am – 2 pm to help you gain new insights on how you can improve your company’s marketing. The advertising and PR firm’s principal Maria Miranda was recently recognized as SBA’s 2024 Connecticut Small Business Person of the Year. Miranda Creative Partners with Regional Innovation Center to Host Complimentary Marketing Sessions, ‘Friyays!’ Through September
‘FriYay!’ is open to drop-in meetings throughout the day, but you can also email mpalomino@mirandacreative.com to book a dedicated time slot.

The Center, opened in October, provides co-working options and flexible meeting space a few minutes’ walk from New London’s city center district and regional transportation hub.
