A tiny, change-averse sliver of the global population owns 75% of the world’s annual GDP. It controls financial, educational & governmental institutions, and steers the private sector’s status quo.
If you lead a lean, digital business, that’s your challenge. And your opportunity.
They want to maintain the status quo – to crush innovation and deliver the same old type of software, technology, and professional “best practices”.
And you?
You’re an independent business leveraging technology, creative problem-solving, and expertise.
You’re not:
- Selling one-off, consumer products
- Focused on money at the exclusion of everything else
- A local-market business (you have a national or international audience)
If that’s you, then your marketing and business development – each plan, each message, each piece of content – should burst with new ideas.
But what kind of ideas?
If you can find your strategy on Google, your audience has seen it before. And it doesn’t fit you.
My goal is to help you profit from original marketing and BizDev ideas – through long-term agile marketing ideation.
Why agile?
Because your one big idea isn’t enough. Especially not against the Fortune 5000. Or even mid-sized firms with 6-figure marketing budgets.
As the leader of a small, 1 to 20 person team, you need to create 1000’s of little ideas to make new things, grow profit, and to transform your business into a better version of itself.
You also need a business model that supports this kind of creativity.
Why a Business Model?
Products don’t make money, business models do. Friendster died, Facebook thrived. Sales and marketing – and even brilliant product and servvices – don’t work if the business model is flawed.
That’s why your business model should leverage your expertise, creativity, and be in line with your values. That’s how marketing works. You’ll connect with the right people, get better at helping them thrive, and become more profitable.
I’ve learned this through two decades of experience – and I’m still learning. I practice it, study it, and write about it every single day.
Some kind words from those I’ve worked with
