Imagine a world where your marketing actually works.

No more 3am panic scrolls. No more throwing spaghetti at LinkedIn and hoping something sticks. Just smart, strategic decisions based on actually understanding your market.

In this article, Emma Easton unpacks two things every small business needs but rarely talks about properly:

👉 Market Orientation – aka, stop guessing and start paying attention to your market (not just your customers).

👉 Market Segmentation – because not all buyers are created equal, and your time is too valuable for one-size-fits-all marketing.

If you’ve ever said “marketing just isn’t my thing,” this one’s especially for you.

“Don’t wait for the perfect moment - take the leap.”
- Rebecca Heald

How can you jump above the noice and stand out?

For Rebecca, the answer was simple: start the podcast, post the invite, and trust the network she’d already nurtured on LinkedIn.

Her story isn’t just about podcasting. It’s about taking action, building confidence, and using LinkedIn as a launchpad to grow your visibility, authority, and professional community.

From a single post to a flood of guest enquiries. From an idea to a full-blown network-expanding platform.

What if leadership wasn’t about leading from the front, but instead creating space for others to rise?

In our article, Alex Thornton from Human Alchemy explores a more human-centred approach to leadership that values trust, presence, and adaptability over bravado and buzzwords.
