    Slowing down to speed up [EP 054]

    If you're anything like me, it's really easy to get caught up in learning "all the things" about how to market your design firm, listening to podcasts and audiobooks and trainings and Facebook groups, and feeling the need to be omnipresent across the internet and social media to have a shot at as many great clients as possible (all the while juggling life and the work itself!). But let me ask you: When's the last time you pressed pause on all that?  Stopped to "take a breath"? (I mean, don't stop feeding your children or showering or anything like that...) :) If you only take time to evaluate your marketing once a year (usually in the few days of the year, am I right?), I invite you to listen in to today's episode, as we discuss the "power of the pause".

    How to make your firm's marketing count? It's all in the HEADLINE... [EP052]

    Beautiful photography and graphics aside, the copy we include on our websites, blog posts, emails and social media posts is CRITICAL to bringing potential clients into our world, and bringing the RIGHT ones into working relationships. More specifically, the HEADLINE of your content makes all the difference in whether or not those clients stay on your website or click 'see more...' on your latest Instagram post.

    4 MYTHS of marketing content creation [EP 050]

    The marketing content for our design firms needs to: 1. be strictly defined to match our brand for as long as possible; 2. appeal to as many people as possible; 3. be produced as precisely and perfectly as our construction documents, and; 4. teach potential clients about what we do and how we do it, 100% of the time. ...right? Well, this week I'm speaking with messaging wiz and founder of The Video 4X Effect, Brandon Lucero, where we'll BUST those myths and discuss how we can create effective, POWERFUL online content for our design firms that speaks DIRECTLY to our ideal clients.

    Should you REPEAT marketing content in your design firm? [EP048]
