Japanese Restaurant Owner, Ray Chow and YellowWood Group CEO, Olalah Njenga Partner To Celebrate Small Business Breakthroughs and Successes

RALEIGH, NC, December 12, 2010 (Press-News.org) Olalah Njenga, CEO of YellowWood Group, a Raleigh based marketing consulting firm, created a 5-week marketing intensive called Marketing With Ease Breakthrough to give entrepreneurs and business owners a competitive advantage. To celebrate the wins and successes of the program's graduates, Njenga is hosting an event on December 14th dubbed the "Breakthrough Bash".

Njenga remarks, "Because Marketing With Ease Breakthrough is all about thinking differently, I wanted to celebrate small business success in a way that was unique and interesting. I partnered with a Breakthrough graduate, Hibachi Xpress owner Ray Chow, to serve Japanese fare for our small business holiday celebration. The response has been thrilling. Everyone loves the idea of having Japanese cuisine for a holiday party, instead of the traditional fare. I love the idea of working with another local small business owner to honor members of our small business community."

The economy has challenged many small business owners to be more innovative and leverage resources in bold, new ways. As result, Njenga launched the 5-week marketing intensive to give entrepreneurs and business owners the strategic secrets that can reshape nearly any business. Chow, who has made key business shifts since taking Njenga's program, remarks, "I learned more about marketing in five weeks with Marketing With Ease Breakthrough than I have in the past five years. Some of the material makes you think so hard that your head throbs, but that's what small business owners need to do. We need to think differently to stay competitive."

Marketing With Ease Breakthrough graduates and their guests will celebrate at the BNC at 649 Walnut Street in Cary NC from 5:30pm-7:00pm on December 14th. Njenga will announce her 2011 plans for the program and spotlight Breakthrough graduates who have made shifts in their business since the program was launched.
