DISTRICT 3 RESULTS

In 2025, the Mississippi SBDC Network delivered Digital Marketing Bootcamp 2.0 programming throughout Congressional District 3, engaging 185 entrepreneurs through in-person training sessions. Funded through the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Portable Assistance Grant, the program focused on delivering practical, results-driven digital marketing education to Mississippi small businesses.

Digital Marketing Bootcamp 2.0 sessions were hosted in Brookhaven, Starkville, and Madison, expanding access to digital marketing resources for South-Central and East Mississippi entrepreneurs. These trainings supported business owners in building confidence with digital tools, increasing market reach, and positioning their businesses for long-term success.

Following the completion of the Digital Marketing Bootcamp 2.0 series, participating businesses had the opportunity to engage in one-on-one counseling services with the Mississippi SBDC Network to further implement digital marketing strategies and support continued growth.
