If you’ve ever joined a coaching program hoping to borrow your coach’s strategy—only to feel frustrated when it didn’t work for you—this episode is for you.

I’m joined by my Reclamation client Kierra Conover, who breaks down the biggest misconceptions about marketing strategy, why cookie-cutter approaches fail, and how true strategy should be a byproduct of your own business data—not someone else’s success formula.

Kierra is the founder of KLC the Studio, a boutique marketing agency that helps service providers, coaches, and product brands sell their offers with data-backed messaging.

With over seven years of experience leading billion-dollar campaigns for brands like Banana Republic and The Gap, managing campaigns featuring Gwyneth Paltrow and Kanye West, Kierra knows firsthand why so many marketing strategies feel clunky—and why strategy should actually bring you peace.

Kierra also shares her journey from corporate marketing to entrepreneurship and how she overcame systemic challenges as a black woman in the fashion industry. From merchandising Safeway’s holiday displays with her mom (when she was a kid) to managing campaigns for celebrities, she's had an eye for branding since the start.

In this episode, we break down:

🔥 The #1 reason most marketing strategies fail (and why they weren’t actually strategies to begin with)

📊 How data (both hard numbers and what your audience tells you) should shape your marketing

🚀 Why the same ideal client buys different offers in completely different ways

⚡ The difference between coaching and consulting—and why hiring the wrong kind of support will keep you stuck

💡 How Kierra pivoted her own business model while in Reclamation to achieve 80% client retention and land clients with five-figure annual value!

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still not seeing the results, this episode will be the clarity you need.
