goBRANDgo!, a marketing company headquartered in St. Louis, announced they will embark on a $2 million expansion to create a not-for-profit facility, Conflux Co-Learning. The building will be the site for the nation’s first co-learning space for the manufacturing supply chain. This expansion project will bring 28 new jobs to the area.
“Manufacturers are going to see more change in the next 5 years than they’ve seen in the last 50,” goBRANDgo! CEO Derek Weber said, “The only companies surviving this tidal wave of change will be the ones who innovate their business model and go-to-market strategy. Conflux Co-Learning will curate the content and connections helping make these difficult transitions more successful, keeping these vital businesses and plants thriving in St Louis and communities across the country.”
Conflux Co-Learning will be located in the former Carondelet School building—a 25,000 sq. ft. facility that was originally built in 1871 to serve 400+ children of local laborers and manufacturers. Continuing the location’s tradition of education, Conflux Co-Learning creates the environment that manufacturers and distribution leaders need to learn and grow from each other. goBRANDgo! is undergoing this expansion to help make St. Louis the hub of business innovation for manufacturing companies.
