I was so excited to be invited to meet with the Marketing Team at Continental Mills for a Lunch and Learn. Continental Mills produces products for Krusteaz, Ghirardelli, Alpine, Classic Hearth, Eagle Mills, Snoqualmie Falls, and Albers.

I was a little nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. When I arrived, I was told I would be meeting with a small group of only about 8-10 people. Then my heart started pounding. What if I answer a question wrong? What if I totally turn them off of social marketing? I hope I answer the questions in a way that helps them.

It went quite well and I felt very comfortable. I talked to the team about my blog, how I got started, how I run my giveaways, how I approach companies, and more! I even received a bag full of goodies to take home with me, including Ghirardelli’s Dark Chocolate Brownies, which I made that evening and were gone by the next morning (review to come).

This is a great company and one I hope to work with again in the future! I look forward to trying out their new boxed cookie mixes for the upcoming holiday season. Thanks Continental Mills for a great Lunch and Learn experience!
