Good Morning!

I'm looking for freelance photographers in the following areas:

Iron Mountain/Escanaba

Marquette

Sault St Marie

Ideally, they would have commercial shooting experience, specifically, building exterior and interiors and construction sites. However, I am willing to work with someone that's interested in expanding their portfolio.

If you know someone (or that's you) - please email me: [email protected]

Please share this post for reach ☺️🙌📷

Branding ❤️

Honest, transparent, not defensive, not divisive, open to feedback, insightful = trust.

Well done One O One

Marketing and branding are the same things, right? No.

Think of marketing and branding like dating. Even if it's been a while since you've "dated" - you'll relate to this I promise. 😉 I explain more in this new blog.

Once you read the blog, I'd love to see your answers to these questions:

Question 1: Which brand(s) that you own or use do you love the most? Why?

Question 2: Which brands that you thought were once strong, have lost their way? Why?

Question 3: Thinking of the small businesses that are locally owned and operated, which do you think have/has the best branding?

Happy Son and Daughter Day! Admittedly I didn't know it was a thing but needless to say, I am beyond proud of my boys, Bennett and Harrison. Harrison (on the right) is an electrical engineer and works in Iowa. He's also engaged and will get married this fall. Bennett has 1 more year of school remaining, and then he will be a mechanical engineer and is interviewing for jobs already.

We've had so many adventures together and I'm looking forward to many more.

Share a picture(s) of your kids - let's celebrate them! ❤️

Happy Monday!

I left the world of corporate marketing almost two years ago to start my own fCMO consultancy, Many Hats Marketing. Why? Because corporations are not nimble and agile - but I am. I wanted to work with small business owners and smaller private companies that could make decisions quickly without layers of redundancy, processes, and politics.

In the past 15 months, I've helped numerous small business owners and leaders in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois achieve strategic clarity, and I would like to do the same for you. We'll quiet the noise and distractions so present in today's marketing.

Small business owners and business leaders, I'd love to assist you in your growth journey. I currently have an open slot for a new client, and I would like to work with you.

What can I do for you? I can develop a solid marketing strategy that you will own, not rent. I can help you implement that strategy and create a marketing system along with an organizational strategy that will scale with your business over time:

✅ Marketing Strategy tied to your business objectives (always strategy first)
✅ Implementation of your strategy
✅ Construction of a marketing system (your growth machine)
✅ A marketing operational strategy, incorporating people and AI augmentation to enhance your small team's productivity.

Additionally, I can assist you with strategic business planning and leadership development.

With nearly 30 years of experience in big brand marketing, including companies like John Deere, Mercury Marine, and BOSS Snowplow, I can bring that expertise to you at a cost that fits your budget. Think about it, executive leadership without the cost of a permanent headcount, bonus or benefits package.

You can't do it all, right? I know that's a hard thing to admit. Don't be hard on yourself. It happens to most, if not all, small business owners. Its a symptom of growth. 👏

The first step? A simple conversation that requires no commitment on your end. Let’s discuss what keeps you up at night.

Had a great dining experience at Rollin Stone - R.Stone today. Excellent food. Had a chance to talk to the chef - and he's passionate about his craft. Everything is from scratch. Food was cooked and seasoned perfectly. He gave me a sample of his Tomato Bisque soup and it was excellent. This place is a great addition to downtown Chamber of Commerce - Juneau, WI !.
