Had the pleasure of running a workshop for @spielfabrique.bsky.social as part of the EVA program on the basics of marketing and had 18(!!!) folks turn up (nearly half the teams there) and put to work on my slew of worksheets - tyvm to all who showed up and hopefully you learned some useful nuggets:)
