This one thing really ticks me off!
This morning at my regular networking group, a conversation came up that I hear all the time.
Someone said, “We’ve outsourced our marketing… but it still feels like I’m doing another full-time job.”
And I nodded, because I know exactly what they mean.
Too many people pay for “marketing support” that’s really just… uploading.
You’re asked to provide the content, write the captions, send the ideas, plan your course of action, and then someone schedules it and hands you a report.
But that’s not marketing. That’s admin with a social media login.
Here’s how I work instead:
I start by getting to know your business, what you do, who you help, what you want to achieve, and what success actually looks like for you.
Then we build a strategy together.
After that, I go off and do the geeky bit:
I research what people are searching for in your niche, find the gaps and opportunities, and develop content that’s designed to land with the right audience, all within a realistic budget.
Because marketing shouldn’t feel like an extra job you’ve accidentally taken on.
That’s why you outsource it in the first place.
Collaboration? Yes.
Growth together? Absolutely.
But more work for you? Never.
