About us
Working for yourself shouldn't mean working by yourself. "The Trenches" is a co-working group for entrepreneurs, nomads, and remote workers who want to trade isolation for the collective energy of a tribe.
We're here to get Sh*t done alongside motivated people who are facing the same exciting challenges. We are in "the trenches" together.

Business Growth Marketing Workshop
Talk Central, 2樓 No, No. 123號, Section 1, Fuxing S Rd, Guangwu Village, Da’an District, Taipei City, 106, Taipei, TWYou know marketing is absolutely crucial to your business but you have no idea how to grow that follower number?
You feel if you can crack this, your business will succeed! But actually... it's a bit more complicated than that.
## The Solution
The Trenches Marketing Workshop.
The Trenches is a no-bullshit community of founders and builders helping each other win.In this 4-hour practical workshop, we will break down how to build a marketing system around your business.
We're not gonna teach you how to get followers.
We're gonna teach you how to get paying customers from your social media accounts, because that's what matters for a business to survive and thrive.
🔥 What You'll Learn & Build:
- Define who you actually want to attract
- Build a brand people can understand and remember
- Understand why content gets attention
- Create repeatable content ideas instead of wondering what to post
- Build a simple, sustainable social media system
- Turn Strangers → Followers → Contacts → Conversations → Customers
- Understand when social media makes sense and when direct outreach is faster
- See real case studies, including how Romain's 20K subscriber YouTube channel generated ~$400K in revenue
- Leave with concrete marketing actions for your own business
This is a workshop, not a lecture. So bring your business, project, social accounts and laptop. We'll apply the ideas directly to what you're building.
👉 Who This Is For:
Anyone building something of their own: a business, a side project, or an idea you want to launch. If you know marketing matters but haven't cracked it yet, this is for you. This is suitable for B2C or B2B businesses.Details:
