\"DigitalHelping small businesses optimize time and grow their business<\/h3>\n

A small team led by Program Managers Prince Bajracharya and Ros\u00e9 Dorleans work in Microsoft Advertising supporting SMBs. They observed small businesses having trouble keeping up with the demands of managing digital marketing across all the platforms, with many eventually just giving up on trying to do it all. \u201cSMBs don\u2019t have enough hours in the day, and not being able to focus on their online presence is stifling their growth\u201d shares Prince. \u201cWe were inspired to build something that could do the heavy lifting for them.\u201d The team has created a tool that can keep up with the demanding pace of SMB digital marketing and drive more business.<\/p>\n
