In this episode we talk about marketing specifically for small businesses. We go through the common challenges and mistakes many smaller businesses make, how to overcome them, and how to grow into a larger business.

In this episode I had our CMO and COO join me to discuss what marketing and business strategies will change in 2025. We discuss everything from paid ads to creative trends, as well as new platforms that will emerge as opportunities for brands.

In this episode we talk about how to create a real marketing strategy. I say "real" not to imply that other strategies aren't. But many strategies are conceptual and lack practical application. In this episode you'll learn:

1. Determining where to advertise
2. Building a funnel based on consumer psychology
3. Understanding the variables for conversion
4. How to track success
5. How to adapt based on what's happening.

In this episode we talk about creating ads that actually work. If you're going to run social advertising, creating high performing ads is essential. It doesn't
matter how good you are at platform execution if you don't nail the ads.

In this episode I sit down with our CMO, Emerson Guerrero, to discuss how a brand can go from $0 to $1,000,000 in sales.

This information comes directly from the work we've done and brands we've worked with at our agency. $1M is an arbitrary number, but it signifies a milestone.

I hope you enjoy this, but more importantly I hope it provides value that you can use in your company.

We started testing TikTok shop when it launched, and after 6 months we've determined that it can be a massive opportunity for ecommerce brands.

If your marketing strategy isn't working, you may be going to broad.

There's a common mistake a lot of brands make, they try to appeal to everyone. And when you try to appeal to everyone, you actually reach no-one.

This episode breaks down how to take the attributes of your product or service, and tailor them to the specific demo you're trying to reach.
