Each with customized progressions to fit you or your group’s personal needs. We think you’ll agree with others, we’re the best WordPress training experts around and love teaching others! Learn more below:
WordPress Training Breakout
First WordPress Class
This class is focused on an introduction to the WordPress platform. This will include learning the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, how to begin your WordPress download either through a one-click system or a manual download, choosing a theme, choosing a host, and describing things like what an FTP is. Other topics may include learning the differences between free and professional themes, and learning the basic functions of the WordPress Dashboard.
Second WordPress Class
This class will be focused on learning how the WordPress dashboard works. This will include instruction on how to navigate the dashboard, understanding what plug-ins are and how to use them, exploration and functionality of widgets, the difference between Pages, Posts, and Categories; settings panel, tools panel, introduction to contact forms, and basic WordPress practices.
Third WordPress Class
This is the most flexible session offered. It will focus on expanding on the knowledge from the previous classes, and will be custom tailored to your individual or company’s needs. We will discuss what widgets best benefit your site and how to organize them, what plug-ins are safe for your theme and how to implement them, an introduction into connecting social media to your site, basic organic SEO development, an introduction to inbound marketing through site content, and more. This class will most likely be determined by previous sessions and/or our initial consultation. This is a great option for those who simply want to expand upon their WordPress knowledge or site.
In addition to these classes, Obtain Creative offers on-going and individual training sessions. Obtain’s main focus is providing our clients with personalized training and help throughout their WordPress experience.

Are you reading the right social media metrics?
Likes are easy to notice, but they don`t always tell the whole story. If you`re measuring whether your content is actually connecting, look a little deeper:
Saves — Did people find it useful enough to come back to?
Shares — Did they find it valuable enough to pass along?
Watch time — Did your content hold their attention?
Profile visits — Did it make them curious enough to learn more?
Likes still have their place. But a post with fewer likes can sometimes be doing more for your strategy than a post with a big like count.
The real question isn`t "How many people liked this?" It`s "What did people do next?"
Swipe through for a quick metric checkup. 💛

The strongest 2027 communications plans won`t start in January.
Planning season is one of the most valuable times of the year. Not because you`re creating next year`s content calendar, but because you`re deciding where your communications should take your organization.
Before jumping into 2027 planning, take a step back and ask the bigger questions:
✓ What`s actually working?
✓ Where are the gaps?
✓ Which stories still need to be told?
✓ What does success look like next year?
The answers will shape a communications strategy that`s intentional, measurable, and aligned with your mission.

The secret ingredient is always people. 💛
You can have the perfect recipe.
A great event.
A thoughtful strategy.
A beautiful venue.
All the right ingredients.
But what makes people remember it? The people.
The person who makes you feel welcome.
The team member who goes the extra mile.
The community that shows up.
The stories shared around the table.
Marketing works the same way. At Obtain, we can build the strategy, create the content, and help tell the story. But the people behind the work are what give it meaning because the best marketing doesn`t just reach people.
It makes people feel like they belong, and that`s an ingredient we never want to leave out.
