The actual business isn’t the hard part. It’s that every time you solve one problem, entrepreneurship hands you three entirely new skillsets you now apparently need to learn.

Suddenly, you’re a professional thing-doer expected to become a marketer, copywriter, web designer, content creator, and part-time IT department. It’s like having to learn whole other languages, skillsets, and somehow still have the time + energy to execute it all while doing your actual thing.

Or… here’s where our worlds could collide.

hiya 👋 I’m someone who spent yearssss as the go-between for a highly audacious, big-vision founder and the creative team required to make the dream a reality.

And now Growco Lab exists to do the same for you.

I’ve realized over a decade of this that most founders don’t have a problem with their vision or talking about their expertise. They have a problem translating it into the real world where there are 27 moving parts and the game changes every 6 months.

So I’ve learned to speak a lot of languages (metaphorically), fluently working between messaging dev, branding, websites, shoots, podcasting, design projects, experience design, and the occasional “why isn’t this thing working?” tech rabbit hole… and I built the business to help connect the dots between them so my clients don’t have to.

Some days I’m behind a camera. A lot of days I’m behind a laptop. My favorite days are spent with a latte, good natural light, and in the brain of some brilliant and audacious biz owner, helping pull out all the pieces that make their business rad and translating them into something the right people can immediately understand.

Zoomed out, everything we do follows a natural journey.

You have something worth sharing. → You need a better way to explain it. → You need a place for people to find it. → You need it to look and feel aligned. → And you need people to experience it.

That’s my whole biz in a nutshell. With an amazing team to help bring it home.

If you’ve got something meaningful you’re building and need help with this stuff that feels like rocket science, this photo is how your message finds me. (thx for the 📷)

All that’s left is saying hi.

Congratulations on yet another gorgeous concept launch!! had a daughter and she is a VIBE.

Loved getting to welcome to the world with a soft opening last night. 😍

PS: Grand opening is TO-NIGHT! If you need a reason to dress up, get a martini, and cozy up to someone under the glow of the red lights this is your permission slip to venture over to the dark side🍸🖤🍒

Some of you are an afternoon away from calibrating a message that could be performing so much better for your business.

Are you going to stay one missed connection away from derailing or pull up, get calibrated, and get back on track with a tactically optimized and aligned message without rebuilding the whole train?

Welcome to Calibration Station 🚂

Where you get high-touch, ultra concentrated messaging refinement around your biggest needle moving piece of communication points so that you can take it and run. A focus on your biggest short term win you can leverage for your long game. Aka use this session to nail the words to need to market, sell, close, reactivate, inspire, ignite… and then immediately get back out there and put them to work.

It’s fast, tactical, effective, and if you think you’re a good fit you probably are. But you can grab the info from my CHOOCHOO highlight to decide for yourself (or drop that cutie little keyword for a link to your DMs).

I’m closing the booking calendar June 1st. Spots are limited! This is about fast action and implementation fam because I want to see you make MOVES this summer okay?!⚡️

Short clip from last week’s double-header training on “Marketing Outside the Box: 3 Ways to Zig While Others Zag”

It’s 3 skills to apply in your messaging that specifically help with
→ finding your unique edges (differentiation)
→ becoming sticky (connection)
→ giving people something to talk about (memorability)

And these are in my opinion more important than ever in a world full of AI noise. But that’s a topic on another day. 😜🫶

The replay hits about 30 min and I’m making it easier than ever to watch it back while it’s fresh. Just find the highlight “zig > zag” on my profile — find this video with a sticker link to the watch page and pull right up, no opt in required for this one. 🤠

So you’ve got my full permission to ninja-watch from the shadows 🥷 but if you do pull some gold out of it I sure would love to hear about it!

Go get to zigging! ❤️‍🔥

Saw the small biz marketing round up version of this post from and knew I had to tag in!!

Maybe it’s the dozen or so conversations I’ve had this week alone that circle some of these or it’s that Friday feeling but I’m feeling a bit spicy around some of these 🌶️🌶️

Messaging clarity makes every single part of marketing your business and making the most of your efforts easier, lighter, more sustainable, and more effective.

Some of these have layers that are true which is why they’re so sticky but I simply will not let you spin your wheels on the 80% that’s not a full truth and is keeping you stalling, overexplaining, underselling, and underpositioned.

You’re way too brilliant for that. 🧃🤌

Is there one of these I should unpack more?!

PS - if you wish there was a way to just *quickly calibrate* some of these with a real live person who can help you say what you mean, make your work sound as epic as it truly is, and better create connection with the people you serve you’re gonna want to drop CHOOHOO in the comments or DM me just trust me. 🚂🫡

This is all I do. 🌁

Comment CLEAR5 for the link to a free 20min crash course in the how to build this bridge — even if we never work together I think you’d get a lot out of the training and workbook. (Also link in bio.)

Messaging → Creative → Presence
Every. Single. Time.

This goes out to because ever since she styled me on set for my last branding shoot I’ve been challenging myself to find little fun combos in my closet thinking “what would Anna do” and for a message on differentiation I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to demonstrate 🫡

Your brand should be the embodiment of your message. Your content should be the vessel for your message. Your presence is the collective effort of your message, compounding over time.

If you aren’t clear on your messaging you are defaulting to the textbook way: guess, try things, get data, see what works, see what lit your money on fire, repeat.

There is a better way. It’s called messaging-first.

I walked into the coffee shop on some late afternoon while take a quick fresh-air-and-sunshine break around the corner from my co-working place.

Something struck me. I paused. Scanned.

“Has that espresso machine always been yellow or is that new?”

The barista: “Why, yes, actually they just put it in, ha! Thats so funny - you’re the only person all day who’s noticed that.”

It’s bright yellow, but that’s not why something in my brain just lit up when I saw it. It was like it was beacon. Something was different.

Tomorrow I’m giving a workshop to a group of business owners that has a lot to do with differentiation. Marketing Outside the Box - 3 strategies to zig while everyone else zags.

And I’m pumped. Because it’s smack at the epicenter of the work that I do: differentiating brands to stand out and become a clear right choice for the right people in their market.

So one thing about my brain is it’s kind of a bloodhound for pattern recognition. What that means is when working with clients on messaging and positioning — getting in their zone of genius about their business, excavating their own personal gold — it’s like the patterns light up. The patterns that exist within their business, the patterns that exist in their competitive landscape, and **also** seeing the gaps the patterns expose. The opportunities and edge that they uniquely have, the spaces that they alone can take up.

What makes their work unique, different, interesting…meaningful.

And I latch down on it like a bright yellow espresso machine in a coffee shop.

It is so clear that then we begin to build a whole strategy and ecosystem around it all so that they can differentiate themselves from everyone in their market. And not just in a way that is so simplistically contrarian for sake of being different or just forcing an angle that isn’t there.

It’s because it’s built upon how they’re authentic to who they really are.

because the three things that we’re going to talk about marks the beginning of what really unlocks the version of the business says unmistakably yours and unmistakable to the people who need you most. 🐝
