Six weeks in and already feeling like you’ve missed something?

You haven’t. But the feed will always make you feel that way.



Nobody posts the slow part.

Nobody shows you the four-view reel or the month where nothing converted.

You only ever see the breakthrough, never the years of groundwork that made it possible.

I’m not going to tell you this is fast or easy. It isn’t.

Not even for a marketer with 26 years experience who knows exactly what she’s doing.

But slow, consistent progress is still progress.

And clarity about who you are and what you stand for makes everything else faster.

That’s where the Brand DNA Test comes in. Free, two minutes, link in bio or comment DNA and I’ll send it to you.

If you’re starting something and you want the real version of how this works, follow.

That’s what I talk about here.

Here is my honest take after spending a day testing it (and secretly hoping that it would give me the inside track on Instagram growth!)

As a small business owner who supports other small business owners with marketing, I was excited to test out Meta AI for content creation.

WHAT IT DOES WELL

✅ Hashtag research. It knows which tags are overused and which ones could get your account restricted. That is genuinely useful.
(But remember, hashtags are now for categorisation, not reach)

✅ SEO keywords for Instagram. Solid.

✅ Profile analysis - Give it your handle and it can actually look at your account. Other AI tools need you to copy and paste everything manually. This one skips that step.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR:

⚠️It gave me a list of rules and presented them as facts. When I pushed back and asked where they came from, the sources were mixed. Some were confirmed by Instagram’s own head. Some came from third party research. And one came from Reddit!!
But it had presented all of them exactly the same way - as factually accurate.

⚠️ Six times in one session it said it had got something wrong…but only AFTER I challenged it. Which means if I didn’t know better I could have made some serious mistakes. This does not mean you should avoid it. It means you should use it differently.
Ask it to source every piece of advice it gives you. If it cannot point to something Meta has actually said, treat it as a pattern. Not a rule.

REMEMBER:
No AI tool has the inside track on the Instagram algorithm. Not Meta AI. Not Claude. Not any of them. Anyone or any tool that tells you otherwise is guessing.

If you are building a business and want the honest picture on what AI can and can’t actually do for your marketing, follow.

Whether you’re a first or second time founder, I’ve been there.

Shame after failure. Zero business clarity.
Doubting myself and my capability.

Here’s what changed everything: nailing my brand DNA. Focusing on what I do best - who is my customer, what do they need and why am I the right person to help them?

Now I help people starting a business get marketing for beginners right, right from the start.

Comment DNA for the test

I grew GHD to £300m in 7 years.

Not with followers. With Brand Archetypes.

8 weeks ago I started this Instagram with hardly any followers. I have 490 today.
I also have customers in the UK, US, and South Africa.

My worst reel got 40 views. But it still made money.
Because I knew my Brand DNA before I posted.

“Gurus” tell you to grow your following first.
That’s hack culture. And it’s why you’re stuck.

Followers ≠ Sales.
Clarity = Sales.

Brand archetypes are the missing link between why humans buy and what you sell. There are 12. You only need 1.

I built a 5-min test to find yours. Free.

I grew GHD to $475m / £300m in 7 years.

Not with followers. With Brand Archetypes.

8 weeks ago I started this Instagram with hardly any followers. I have 492 followers today.

I also have customers in the UK, US, and South Africa.

My worst reel got less than 40 views. It still made money.
Because I knew my Brand DNA before I posted.

If you’re a mum starting over and you think you need to “grow your following first”...

You don’t.

You need to know your Brand DNA first.

8 weeks ago I had hardly any followers.
Today I have customers in 3 countries.

Same $10 test I’m giving you free.

Comment DNA and I’ll send it.



Not 10K. Not viral. Just 492 real people.

UK. US. South Africa. Stripe notifications don’t lie.

My best reel got less than 2000 views. Still made money.

This is why people buy from YOU. Most skip it.

Same principle works for $10 offers and $475m brands.

Pretty feed ≠ profit. I’ve seen it kill businesses for 26 years.

Free. Because guessing costs you months.

Most mums starting over make this mistake ↓

They build the logo, website, Instagram... before they know their Brand DNA.

No DNA = no sales. I don’t care how pretty your feed is.

I spent 26 years in marketing. 7 of those growing GHD to £300m / $475m.

The brands that win know exactly why people buy from them.

Yours can too and it only takes 5 mins.

Starting something of your own after kids?
Throughout my career I’ve watched brilliant women waste YEARS posting into the void and getting nowhere.

Even at GHD, it took us 7 years to really nail brand identity. Workshops. Post-it notes. Failed campaigns. Wasted spend.

You don’t have 7 years. You have the school holidays.

I turned 26 years of knowledge into a 5-min Brand DNA Test.

It tells you exactly what to say so you stop sounding like every other working mum with a side hustle.

Take it for free. Comment “DNA” for the link.
