The Knowing Agency

Did you know that today’s customer journey requires anywhere from 20-500 touchpoints? In each one of these touchpoints, it is imperative that you establish emotional connections with your potential customer and do so from an authentic place. Business owners must not only know the ‘how’ of their business but also the ‘why’ that inspires their decisions. This comes through knowing your Self and doing the deep work that connection with your Self and others requires. Our proprietary Knowing Process positions brands to establish these emotional connections that impact the bottom line. The Knowing Process will: ? Implement authentic branding that prevents manipulation. ? Create empathy-driven messaging that connects deeply in the subconscious of your potential customers. ? Give you measurable marketing data because you are only as successful as your bottom-line. Interested in learning more about the Knowing Process and connecting with Christene Marie?

Our founder, Christene Marie, posted this copy yesterday. We wanted to reshare the copy and the clip as it pertains to business because it beautifully encapsulates the heart of ?????????????? and how we are serving our clients. Enjoy! To learn more about ?????????????? and what Christene Marie can offer your business, please visit our website https://lnkd.in/gp6fE7CA and join our newsletter! ---------- This is one of my very favorite stats: ????% ???? ???????????????????? ?????????????????? ?????? ???????? ???? ?????? ????????????????????????, where our emotions live, according to Harvard professor Gerald Zaltman. . Knowing is my ???????????????? topic. It permeates every area of life. . On LinkedIn, I lean toward discussing personal practices and habits powering knowledge of self to strengthen my relationships, vision, and core values... Yet knowing has become the very foundation of my business, hence the rebrand to The Knowing Agency last year. Knowing powers every facet of a company: The examination of its brand, its audiences, and its data. Employing EQ to uncover the who of the brand and the heart of the audience, and IQ to identify patterns in data. Positioning brands authentically so they stand out from competitors. Engaging their audiences with empathy to solidify an emotional connection for conversion and loyalty. Employing measurable marketing to break through the noise and procure bottom-line results. . Yet, as my personal life unraveled, my pursuit of knowing turned inward. I began to know my self for the first time at 28 years old. And my life has radically changed since. . We are in desperate need of emotionally intelligent and healthy: executives, leaders, coaches, parents, individuals. Brilliant, experienced, well-versed, etc., of all the above exist in abundance. I was in Scottsdale last month as Chris Voss, renowned former FBI hostage negotiator, discussed the heightened need for connection. Y'all, one of the primary causes of death in the United States is suicide - the wealthiest nation per net worth. ...Brilliant, experienced, well-versed, etc., is essential, yes. But we are in an emotional epidemic. A crisis of the soul. . Today, words fail to convey the passion behind my purpose to see not only businesses transformed by knowing but also the people within them. The leaders and executives down to the junior staff. Translating into their families. Into their communities. Emotional health is vital and non-optional. (The lack thereof has destroyed too many lives, including my own.) Knowing the truth is the first step toward any lasting change and achieving any vision we may hold. #business #personaldevelopment #personalbranding #IQ #emotionalintelligence

Are you a business owner who has found success yet feels constantly overwhelmed and drained? Do you give to everyone and, at the end of the day, find that you have nothing left for yourself? It’s common for entrepreneurs and business owners to identify as such and forget the necessary personal work that leads to lasting success and fulfillment. Christene Marie, founder of The ?????????????? Agency, has created a unique opportunity for business owners and leaders to reorient themselves, assume personal responsibility for their lives, and activate the agency necessary to live awake rather than on autopilot. You can think of it as a boot camp for the soul—a breath for those who are willing to know the truth and do the work necessary for lasting transformation. Questions that can initiate this action would be, “Am I on the trajectory to actualizing the vision for my life? Is my trajectory positioning me to confidently say, “I am proud of the life I have lived!” when I reach the end?” With a curated schedule, dinners prepared by our personal chef, and an environment affording the peace and fortitude necessary to experience the boot camp of the soul, The ?????????????? Retreat is for the few brave enough to do the work. “The Knowing Retreat has forever impacted me and left me happier and more equipped to deal with the stress and craziness of everyday life. After attending the Retreat, I've found myself less susceptible to the ups and downs, pulls and pushes of life and relationships...I am focused on me, who I am in everything that happened and continues to happen in my life...This centers me, making me happier with me, and able to show up in different circumstances with a comfortability and love for myself, which has made me a better spouse, father, friend, and employer.” - Mike V. Founder & Entrepreneur Does this speak to you? Are you ready for lasting transformation? Then, you are invited to the next ?????????????? Retreat, October 1 - 4 in New York. The application deadline is September 10th, and only a few spots remain. Apply here! - https://lnkd.in/gRTGfPwH #knowing #business #personaldevelopment #retreat

"A strong brand sets emotional expectations for the anticipated experience and then surpasses them through surprising delight." - Christene Marie Many companies do not know how to set emotional expectations for their brands because they do not emotionally connect with their brand. To help customers emotionally connect with your brand, start by asking yourself these questions: ? Motivation - What is the 'why' behind this particular service or product? ? Expectation - What needs does the customer want me to fulfill (both consciously and subconsciously)? ? Authenticity - What emotion do I want the customer to feel because of my service/product?? ? Does the emotional connection I am trying to make with my customers align with a core belief of my company? Only when you dig deeper will you understand your target audience's expectations and how you can delight them in the most surprising and meaningful ways. "95% of our purchase decision making takes place in the subconscious mind." - Gerald Zaltman, Harvard Professor. Curious about how to connect more with your target audience??

This time of year is special to us at The ?????????????? Agency as we celebrate our company's founding five years ago! ? Over the years, it has been incredibly important for us to intentionally and routinely take time to review our wins and losses, ups and downs, and accomplishments. Doing this has allowed us to make needed adjustments internally, and serve our clients more effectively. ? While the new year is an excellent opportunity to do this, the middle of the year can be even better. If you evaluate mid-year, you can take a bird's-eye view of your company's current state in comparison to your goals from the beginning of the year, and where you would like your company to be as you approach the last half of the year. We encourage you to take some time this week to analyze your business. ? Are you hitting your mid-year goals, or at least on the path to getting there? ? What growth have you seen so far this year in your business? What areas of growth do you want to focus on moving forward? ? Are your employees being positively challenged? Do they enjoy the work they are doing? ? How are you connecting with your customers or clients? Are those connections genuine and authentic? A leader who knows themselves and translates this knowing into how they run their business will be well on their way to success. Have questions?

As we celebrate five years of The ?????????????? Agency, hear from our founder Christene Marie on her thoughts and exciting new developments coming up!

One of our primary goals as business owners or leaders is to have a strong brand. However, what may not be obvious is that your proprietary brand’s power lies in how much you know your ????????. Leaders who take the time to know themselves will be ahead of the game when connecting with their customers. Here are some of the beautiful results of showing up authentically: ? You attract people that resonate with your vision. ? You ward off people who do not connect with your vision. ? Attracting the right people and dispelling the wrong makes your connections faster, saving you time and energy. We encourage you to take ten minutes today to ask yourself these questions and write down the answers: ? What are my values? ? What do I want? ? What is my nature? (What makes me uniquely me?) When you can answer these three questions, you are well on your way to establishing a strong brand that will inform your future decisions and serve your customer base well. Are you interested in developing these thoughts further? Click the link in the comments to sign up for our founder, Christene Marie's, monthly newsletter! Each month, we explore a topic through the lens of helping us know ????????, relationships, and business.

Our founder, Christene Marie, is intentional about keeping her internal motivation going as we approach our five year anniversary at The Knowing Agency.

How are you investing in your personal growth? We at The Knowing Agency highly recommend plugging into a network like a mastermind. Masterminds are gatherings of like-minded people committed to sharing ideas and being accountable to one another. In short, they are communities that pour into you and help you achieve your goals! On our journey of creating an empathy-driven marketing and branding agency, masterminds were an invaluable resource. Our founder Christene Marie can attest to how much they have helped her grow as an individual, assess weak spots, refuel on inspiration, and move our business forward. Here are three business masterminds we recommend you to look into: ? Sims Distillery ? Driven Mastermind ? Wealth Building Concierge “The master mind may be defined as a ‘coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.'” Napoleon Hill – ????????? ?????? ???????? ??????? What personal growth opportunities or masterminds have helped you in the past? #mastermind #motivation #personaldevelopment

Every business comes to a point where it must pivot, but only some can articulate why. In this article, Christene Marie unpacks how you can know the why behind your business decisions and connect with your customers and clients more authentically. #knowing #knowingbusiness #emotionalintelligence
