Transitioning from event coordination to the maritime industry was an unexpected yet enlightening journey. As a young SEO director and content writer for MITAGS, I dove into the intricacies of marketing this sector by immersing myself in their offerings. During a visit to the gun range in Marriotsville, Maryland, I experienced firsthand the Practical Security Applications course (SEC-APPS). The course, led by seasoned professionals like Dave Wittrock and Nathan Davis, combined firearms training with crucial self-defense and de-escalation techniques, emphasizing the significance of blending tactical knowledge with everyday readiness. This hands-on approach not only broadened my understanding but also provided rich content to effectively market the course’s value.

Coming from a background in event coordination, the shift to maritime marketing was a challenging yet invigorating turn. Witnessing instructors like Sean Riley, a martial arts expert, demonstrate practical self-defense techniques underscored the course’s comprehensive nature. It highlighted the importance of unorthodox marketing strategies that resonate with the unique demands of the maritime industry. The blend of practical experience and theoretical knowledge I gained from this visit was instrumental in crafting compelling narratives that showcased the course’s relevance and effectiveness, ultimately enhancing its appeal to prospective students and stakeholders.
