Offers are hard. Especially in the commoditized agency world. There are loads of things that can go into great offers, but as I talk to more agency owners, I see three common threads across the offers that do really well. 1. They solve a deserving problem. 2. They provide a transformation. 3. They're valuable for everyone.* I captured more of my thoughts around these in an article on Substack. Link is below. *Everyone involved in the offer, not every potential prospect.

?? Under $1M in Revenue? Here’s What Actually Matters! If you’re running a business under $1M/year, it’s tempting to think that nailing your product-market fit is the only priority. But here’s the problem: even the best product-market fit can fail without the creative execution to amplify it. The market won’t know what it’s missing if your message is inconsistent or reactive. ?? The three levers of growth are simple: 1?? Sell to more people. 2?? Sell more things to the same people. 3?? Raise your prices. However, here’s the reality: Without consistent and powerful creative execution, those levers don’t move. You might be thinking: “Creative work is something you can delay until you hit $1M.” ?? Why This will Continue to Hold You Back: While focusing on your product is crucial, neglecting creative execution means you’re invisible in your market. A lack of strategic, consistent content will leave your audience disengaged, and no audience means no sales, no traction, and no validation for your product. ? The Truth: You might be one post away from growth, getting that one comment or one feedback that changes your product design or you might even be one creative hire away from breaking through this plateau. I’ve recruited 100+ creatives into companies starting at $5/hr. IT CAN BE DONE WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK. By building an affordable and scalable in-house creative team, you unlock: - Consistent Branding: Stop guessing and start showing up with a unified message that attracts your audience. - Time Freedom: No more micromanaging or spending hours figuring out what to post. - Accelerated Growth: With the right creative team, your content becomes the engine driving sales and loyalty. Here’s what you can do IMMEDIATELY: First thing I’d recommend is to Audit Your Content Take 15 minutes to review your recent content (social posts, emails, videos). Ask yourself: Is the message clear and consistent? Does it align with your brand’s vision and goals? Is it engaging your target audience effectively? You probably already can make content yourself or have a small team to do it. Some folks use gig sites like fiverr or upwork, I personally don’t recommend that for long term consistent growth, but it can be done for quick wins. If you are even the slightest bit interested in building your own in-house team or outsourcing and need some real guidance on this, put some time on my calendar below. You’ll get: - A comprehensive audit of your creative team and processes. - Time for Q&A - A custom-tailored roadmap to align your team with your growth goals. - A step-by-step guide on finding, interviewing, and hiring your ideal in-house creative talent.

How I intend to get clients next year and how you can do the same too. Next year, my focus is simple: visibility + connection. Here’s the plan: ?Cold DMs – It’s a numbers game, but with the right message, you’d be surprised how many doors open. ?Referrals – Happy clients are the best marketing. I’m creating systems to encourage them to share my work. ?Value-packed content – Showing up consistently to prove my expertise and build trust with my audience. This would definitely work regardless of the industry you are in. It’s about persistence, strategy, and genuine connection. If you’re struggling to find clients, you can adopt this too. Consistency wins. How are you planning to get clients next year? Let’s share ideas!

Trying to be a jack of all trades is the fast track to burning out your agency. Agencies desperate to grow will say yes to every client request, no matter how far it strays from their core services. Before you know it, you're juggling 10 different service offerings, your team is stretched thin and there's no solid process for anything because everything is always new! Here's the hard truth: You can't be everything to everyone. Niche down to one or two things that you fulfill in you agency and get things running like a well oiled machine.

'I feel like my clients’ best-kept secret.' That's what a consultant told me recently – and it’s a line I hear a lot. She'd built an incredible business and had a wall full of testimonials... But she was watching less-experienced consultants land the projects she wanted because they were better at telling their story. Here's the thing – your expertise isn't your differentiator. The real differentiator is how clearly you can articulate: - The specific problem you solve - Why your approach is different - The transformation you create - The unique value you bring This is why I created the Core Messaging Package: From Quietly Awesome to Sought-After Expert. Over 4 weeks, we’ll work together to uncover what makes you stand out, and turn it into messaging that resonates with premium clients. Including: ?? a deep dive into your unique positioning (the real gold that makes you different) ??a compelling value proposition (so perfect-fit clients instantly get it) ??? brand voice guidelines (so you always sound like YOU) ??a marketing crib sheet (never stare at a blank page again) ??content kickstarter templates (making implementation easy) This means you get clarity, confidence, and the ability to attract premium clients who value what makes you different. Want to start 2025 with absolute clarity about your value and how to communicate it? I have 2 Core Messaging spots left in January. DM me "CLARITY" and let's explore if this could be your best next step. #MessageStrategy #ConsultingSuccess #PremiumPositioning #Copywriter #WomenConsultants

Given the name of my business, I get asked a lot about what makes a great brief. Obviously, I do know a thing or two about it (would be a bit awkward if I didn’t) But what a lot of people may not realise is that a great brief isn’t just something a client hands over to their agency. It’s a two-way process. It may be a controversial opinion, but I would argue that it’s the agency’s responsibility to guide the client. Why? Because most of our clients are experts in their?business - not in writing marketing briefs. Honestly, they shouldn’t have to be. I never just take the brief and run. Instead, I work closely with our clients to find out what really matters - asking the tough questions, digging up the details and make sure everyone is aligned before the work begins. So here’s how we go Beyond the Brief: 1.?Start with a conversation, not a document: Before anything takes shape, I focus on the bigger picture - goals, challenges, audience and what success looks like specifically for the client. It’s all about creating context and clarity. 2. Refine and align: A brief is more than a checklist - it’s a blueprint. Together with my clients, we turn ideas into a clear, actionable plan that ensures everyone knows what we’re working toward and why. 3.?Own the process: As a partner, its my job to guide you through the briefing process - not the other way around. My role is to simplify the complex, clarify what’s needed and make sure we’re setting the project up for success from day one. Yes, both parties need to come to the table, but agencies need to stop blaming ‘bad briefs’ for poor results. Instead, we should be stepping up and taking ownership of the process. Agree / Disagree? Is it time we took more responsibility for helping clients create great briefs, or is this still a client’s job? #marketingbrief #marketing

You can’t deliver results for EVERY client. And that’s okay. Not because you didn’t try. Not because you didn’t care enough. But because building something real—like a loyal audience—requires ALL the pieces to come together. And not everyone is ready to do that. Let me share a quick story. Two years ago, I started working with two clients at the same time. Both wanted the same thing: to grow their followers and establish a personal brand. Same strategies, same tools, same level of guidance. One of them showed up every single day. They followed through, engaged with their audience, and trusted the process—even when it felt slow. The other? Well, they wanted shortcuts. Skipped steps, missed deadlines, and hesitated when it got hard. You can guess who saw results. Well, not everyone is ready to put in the work it takes. And no matter how good your strategy is, execution will always make or break the outcome. As creators, marketers, or consultants, we often carry the weight of client results on our shoulders. But we need to remember this: We are PARTNERS in the process, not magicians. We can create the best strategies, write the best copy, or design the best visuals. But if the client doesn’t execute consistently - or give it the time and effort it deserves - The results just won’t happen. And that’s not on you. Focus on finding the clients who are ready to go all in. Who trust the process. Who are as invested in the outcome as you are. Because those are the partnerships where the real magic happens.
