An ad is so much more than the creative 🎨 — and honestly, the creative isn’t even the most important part.

Enter the 40/40/20 rule of marketing:
🔹 40% = Your list (are the right people seeing your message?)
🔹 40% = Your offer (is it wanted, priced right, and giving a reason to buy now?)
🔹 20% = Your creative (the copy, design, and format that bring it to life).

Most people obsess over design… but if your audience or offer misses the mark, no amount of pretty pictures will save the campaign.

👉 Nail your list. Nail your offer. Then polish your creative.
👉 Message me if you want help making this rule work for your next campaign.

Features don’t sell. Even benefits don’t always sell. Emotions sell. 💡

That’s where feature-to-emotion laddering comes in — the framework that turns a boring spec into a reason people feel like they need what you’re offering.

The ladder looks like this:
1️⃣ Feature → the functional bit (eg. “15-minute sessions”).
2️⃣ Benefit → what it enables (eg. “fits into a busy schedule”).
3️⃣ Desire frame → connects to human motivators like freedom, ease, status.
4️⃣ Emotional consequence → the real payoff (eg. “so you stop missing dinner with your kids”).

Most marketers stop at clarity. The best ones ladder up to emotion. Because no one buys features — they buy the transformation it unlocks.

Content doesn’t win on luck — it wins on strategy. 🎯

A good content strategy means:
✨ Knowing your goals (brand awareness, leads, sales).
✨ Understanding your audience (what they actually read, watch, and share).
✨ Creating with purpose (not just for clicks).
✨ Distributing it smartly and measuring the results.

Without strategy, even the best ideas sink into the scroll. With it, your content starts working for you — bringing traffic, leads, and trust.

So if your “plan” is just posting when you remember… time for an upgrade. 😉

👉 Message me if you’re ready to get your strategy sorted.

Sometimes, you just have to post bad content.

👉 A clunky flyer.
👉 A pixelated product shot.
👉 A “must-share” link that you know won’t land.

We’ve all been there. Whether you’re fresh in the role or 15 years deep, you’ll get asked to share stuff that makes you cringe.

Here’s the thing: it’s not worth losing sleep over. One dodgy post in a sea of 100 won’t break your brand. It’ll just… sink. Quietly. Into the scroll abyss.

So, instead of letting it wreck your day:
✨ Post it, move on, and save your energy for the content that does matter.
✨ If you want to push back, do it with a light touch (“Happy to post, but I can’t recommend it.” is gold).
✨ And when the analytics roll in? Let the numbers do the talking. That “bad” content will prove your point without you lifting a finger.

Your worth as a business owner or marketer isn’t tied to one rough post. Don’t let bad marketing live rent free in your head. Need help? Message me... ;)
