You’re the client for me if:
- You’re in a service-based industry that often gets overlooked or underappreciated on the marketing front, and you want your target audience to understand what makes you stand out from the competition.
- You’re a big fan of diving into the nitty gritty, searching for what’s not working as hard for your business as it could and should, and appreciate strategies that clearly convert.
- You know that marketing is critical to your success and that you do not have the time to worry about it anymore. You’re ready to have a wingman, or in this case, woman, carry the torch for you.
