Marketing Mentorship

DIY marketing with an expert by your side

NEW LEADS AREN'T GOING TO GENERATE THEMSELVES

You want to grow your business, but your marketing efforts aren’t working. Maybe you don’t even know where to start.

  • You don’t know how best to spend your precious resources—your money and your time.
  • People can’t find your business on Google.
  • Social media is loud and confusing. Does anyone ever see your posts?
  • You’re getting leads, but they aren’t converting into customers.

You don’t have to go it alone.

Hiring a marketing agency may be out of reach for you right now, but you can still take advantage of our expertise to learn how to DIY your marketing in a way that makes sense for your business.

What do you get out of marketing mentorship?

Marketing Mentorship covers topics like:

Setting a vision for your business

Understanding and communicating why people should choose you

Navigating social media and the rest of the internet

Measuring results, assessing outcomes, and using data to get better

Understanding your target customer

Managing your online presence and digital marketing tech stack

Creating a content plan

Squeezing maximum results out of your resources (time and budget)
