Launching a business can feel like juggling flaming bowling pins, but with the right team and insights, it can transform into a well-choreographed performance. Holly, my very first employee, shares her experience from being a virtual receptionist to becoming the marketing head at a multi-million-dollar company. We share stories from the early days, drawing inspiration from industry leaders like Kimber James of Borbaletta, and talk about the challenges we faced, the adaptability required, and the big wins along the way.
Friendship and business—often labeled as oil and water—can actually create a vibrant cocktail when mixed with boundaries and trust. Holly and I reminisce about the hilarious chaos at Deluxe, from getting TikToks to go viral to the emotional rollercoaster of balancing personal lives with professional duties. We debunk the myth that friends shouldn't work together and highlight the importance of open communication and setting the right expectations to thrive in such partnerships.
Marketing isn't just about catchy slogans; it's about leveraging data to tell a compelling story that drives growth. We dive into the nuts and bolts of successful marketing strategies, emphasizing the power of analytics and a robust online presence. Holly's shift from a creative role to marketing at a manufacturing company shows the necessity of fostering creativity even in stoic industries. We dissect how a well-crafted website can boost client engagement and explore the untapped potential of Bing's AI-powered ads, leaving you with actionable insights that could transform how you approach your business's digital strategy.
