New Wave Strategies, a Palm Coast business and digital marketing agency specializing in the timeshare industry, today announced a formal partnership with the Flagler County Business Council to support local economic development and digital business education. The initiative positions New Wave Strategies as a key contributor to Flagler County marketing and business growth efforts.
The partnership includes three primary initiatives: a free digital marketing workshop series for local small businesses, a mentorship program connecting experienced marketers with aspiring professionals, and sponsorship of the council's annual business summit. Through these programs, New Wave Strategies aims to share the expertise that has made it a successful player in the timeshare marketing space with the broader Palm Coast business community.
"We've been fortunate to build a thriving business here in Palm Coast, and we believe in paying that forward," said a company spokesperson. "The Flagler County Business Council does incredible work supporting local entrepreneurs and small business owners. By partnering with them, we can help bring modern digital marketing skills to businesses that might not otherwise have access to this kind of expertise. It's about strengthening the entire local business ecosystem."
Digital Marketing Workshop Series
The workshop series, titled "Digital Foundations for Palm Coast Business," launches in August 2026 and runs monthly through the end of the year. Each session covers a specific topic — SEO fundamentals, social media strategy, email marketing basics, and measuring marketing ROI — and is designed for business owners with minimal digital marketing experience. Sessions are free and open to all Flagler County Business Council members, with priority registration for Palm Coast-based businesses.
Workshop attendees will receive practical, actionable guidance they can implement immediately in their own businesses. The curriculum draws directly from the methodologies New Wave Strategies uses in its professional timeshare marketing results campaigns, adapted for the needs and budgets of local small businesses.
Mentorship Program
The mentorship program pairs experienced New Wave Strategies team members with Flagler County residents looking to start or advance careers in marketing. Mentors commit to monthly one-on-one sessions, portfolio reviews, and networking introductions. The program is designed to build a pipeline of local marketing talent and reduce the need for Palm Coast businesses to recruit from outside the area.
This mentorship initiative complements the company's own hiring expansion, recently announced on the New Wave Strategies careers page, which has opened five new positions within the agency itself.
Annual Business Summit
As a premium sponsor of the Flagler County Business Council's annual summit — scheduled for November 2026 — New Wave Strategies will host a keynote presentation on the state of digital marketing in the timeshare and vacation ownership industries. The summit brings together business leaders, government officials, and entrepreneurs from across the region for a day of networking and professional development.
The partnership aligns with the company's broader vision as outlined in its recent press announcement about the launch of its comprehensive digital content ecosystem. As New Wave Strategies continues to grow, its commitment to local community engagement remains a core value. The company also maintains an active blog where it shares industry insights and educational content with a wider audience.
How to Get Involved
Palm Coast and Flagler County business owners interested in the workshop series or mentorship program can register through the Flagler County Business Council website or contact New Wave Strategies directly. The workshop series is expected to fill quickly, and early registration is recommended.
