You will love this delicious conversation with Laura Mignott, CEO and Founder of DFlash, a New York-based, experience communications agency!

While attending the Chole Capital Boston Women Investors Forum a few weeks ago, I was so impressed by how well this extraordinary event was run and produced, I asked Chloe Capital’s partner, Kate Cartini, "who made this amazing event happen?!"

She pointed across the room to a glowing powerhouse of a woman and said: Laura Mignott.

DFlash creates high impact brand experiences for Fortune 500s like Samsung, Netflix, Amazon, Bose to tech companies, non-profits and trade associations. DFlash creates experiences that make people feel welcome from pop-ups, private dinners, product launches, guerilla stunts to multi-city tours.

Laura shares how her business idea happened “by accident” in 2010. She and her co-founder were not happy with the current networking experiences in NYC, so they started their own networking events! They built events they would want to go to - always remembering that if you made a space welcoming, whether you're 18 or 94, folks would feel welcome in their space. That's been the core value from the very beginning and through every one of the 400 plus events since they launched.

An introvert at heart Laura shares how networking was a struggle for her. However, she knew it was network or starve, and sure enough - these consistent, warm and welcoming local networking events helped her build long-term client relationships with Fortune 500 companies. Through these events, Laura built trust with these large clients – a key ingredient for a successful relationship marketing campaign.

Throughout our conversation, Laura shares actionable advice to help you use relationship marketing to build a local, national and international presence for your startup.
