Let’s cut to the chase—your customers don’t shop, scroll, or binge-watch like they did five years ago. Heck, they barely do it like they did last week. The rules of engagement in digital marketing have changed, and if you’re still throwing single jabs, hoping for a knockout, you’re going to end up in the corner, […]

Welcome, my friend. Pull up a designer barstool and pour yourself a glass of overpriced sparkling water because we’re about to dive into how we crushed it in the luxury appliance and furniture game.

Ah, marketing budgets. The fragile lifeline of every brand, carefully allocated with hopes and dreams—only to be torched in a blaze of inefficiency, bad advice, and “trust me, bro” strategies.

So, you’re still married to your Facebook ads? That’s cute. But here’s the thing: Marketing in 2025 isn’t about sticking to a single platform like some kind of digital monogamy. No, it’s about being flexible, testing things out, and maybe even stepping outside your comfort zone (trust us, you’ll thank us later). If you’re not […]

Alright, marketing and sales world, it’s time we have the talk. We’ve been throwing around fancy acronyms like ROAS, CTR, and CPL as if they mean something beyond inflating budgets. But here’s the raw truth—these metrics alone aren’t enough. The future of marketing and sales boils down to two things: Verification and Validation. If your […]

When my friend Ariella Brown invited me to document a women’s wellness retreat, I felt confident in my role behind the camera. I imagined myself a quiet observer, there to capture a beautiful setting and thoughtful moments. But nothing could have prepared me for the journey I was about to take—the raw, transformative experience that […]

Let’s be real for a second. Your brand might be amazing, but if no one knows about it, does it even exist? That’s where we come in. Recently, The Wall Street Journal dropped an article about how Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are both on full-blown media blitzes. And guess what? They’re not doing the […]

You know that feeling when you’re confidently strutting through your marketing plan, convinced you’re crushing it, only to find out your engagement rates are flatter than a pancake under a steamroller?

Everyone Has Marketing Ideas (And Ideas Are Cheap) Every business owner thinks they’re a marketing genius. You’ve got ideas—big, bold, brilliant ideas—ready to shake up the world. And we love that energy, really. But here’s the thing: ideas are cheap. Seriously, everyone has ideas. Your neighbor, your cousin, that guy who cuts your hair—heck, even […]

Alright, let’s get one thing straight from the jump: this isn’t a paid ad for BNI, and they’re not sliding me a crisp hundred-dollar bill under the table. Nope, this is just some real talk about why local sales networking—yes, including those early-morning, coffee-fueled BNI meetings—are still a big deal in 2024. In a world […]

Picture this: Your potential customers are snuggled up on the couch, remote in one hand, a bowl of popcorn in the other, and they’re ready to dive deep into their favorite show. The lights are dimmed, the atmosphere is perfect, and guess what? You’ve got their undivided attention. Now imagine if, instead of the usual […]

Hey, government agencies, social advocacy campaigns, and defense contractors—let’s get real for a second. If your digital strategy is still stuck in 2010, you’re about a decade behind. The internet isn’t just a place for cat videos and dance challenges; it’s where people live, learn, and make decisions. And if you want to be heard, […]

Let’s cut to the chase. ROAS (that’s Return on Ad Spend for those playing catch-up) is either your best friend or your worst enemy. It’s that brutally honest friend who tells you when you’re about to make a colossal mistake—like blowing your budget on ads that bring in less ROI than a lemonade stand in […]
