Every business starts somewhere different.

Different goals.
Different audiences.
Different challenges.

So why do so many businesses end up trying to follow exactly the same marketing strategy?

The most effective marketing isn't about copying what's working for someone else.

It's about understanding your business, your customers, and building a strategy that makes sense for you.

Because when your messaging is clear, your content becomes easier to create, your website works harder, and your marketing starts to feel much more intentional.

If you've been feeling like you're doing all the marketing things without seeing the results you'd hoped for, it might not be your effort that's the problem.

It might just be time for a different strategy.

The last couple of weeks have been a little different at BYB. 🤍

Between family time, the start of the summer holidays, days out, potty training (send help 😂) and fitting work into the spaces in between, it’s been a reminder of exactly why we wanted to build Behind Your Business the way we did.

We wanted work that we genuinely enjoyed.

We wanted the freedom to build something around our lives and our families. Not a life that had to fit around our work.

And somehow, this little business is allowing us to do exactly that.

There have still been client projects happening behind the scenes, websites being worked on, content being created, ideas being scribbled down and probably far too many conversations about marketing between Mum and me. 😂

But there have also been graduations, family time, summer days and moments where the laptops have actually stayed closed.

And none of it would be possible without the businesses that trust us with theirs.

So this Founder Friday is really just a little thank you.

To every client who has trusted us, recommended us, worked with us or supported BYB so far, thank you for allowing us to do something we genuinely love. 🤍

We’re only getting started.

Your website can look beautiful and still be losing you enquiries.

Because good design is only part of the job.

When someone lands on your website, they shouldn’t have to hunt around to work out what you do, whether you’re the right person for them, or how they can take the next step.

Your messaging needs to be clear.
Your customer journey needs to make sense.
And every page should have a purpose.

Because a website shouldn’t just exist online — it should be working for your business.

Not sure if yours is?

We’ll take a look at your website, brand and online presence and show you where things could be working harder.

Things nobody tells you about running a marketing business...

✨ You'll overthink absolutely everything.

✨ You'll spend hours creating something, then decide it isn't quite right.

✨ You'll find it easier to market everyone else's business than your own.

And do you know what?

That's normal.

We spend so much time seeing polished agencies online that it's easy to think everyone else has it figured out.

The reality?

Behind every polished feed is someone questioning their ideas, changing direction and wondering whether they're making the right decisions.

We've definitely been there recently.

We've scrapped content.

Changed our minds.

Started again.

And honestly... we think that's part of building something that actually feels like you.

Perfection doesn't build brands.

Consistency, curiosity and a willingness to evolve do.

Running a marketing business is funny sometimes.

One minute you're opening Canva to finish a client post...

The next you've accidentally given yourself a full-blown business identity crisis. 😂

Please tell me creative brains aren't just wired like this?!

Most businesses don't need more content.

They need content with a purpose.

Every week, we sit down with clients and map out content before we even think about designing a post.

Not because we like paperwork (we don't 😂).

Because when you know why you're posting something, creating the content becomes so much easier.

Every piece should answer at least one question:

• Does it build trust?
• Does it educate?
• Does it start a conversation?
• Does it overcome an objection?
• Does it move someone one step closer to becoming a customer?

If the answer is "not really"...

Then it's probably not the right post.

Marketing isn't about filling a calendar.

It's about creating content that actually moves your business forward.

✨ Less noise.
✨ More intention.

I spent over a week creating a brand new content series.

The designs were finished.
The ideas were there.
It was ready to go.

Then I got to the end...
..and realised it didn't feel like Behind Your Business anymore.

The easiest thing would have been to post it anyway. After all, I'd already invested the time.

But that's exactly what we tell our clients not to do.

Businesses evolve.
Brands evolve.
Sometimes your marketing has to evolve with them.

So I scrapped it.

A week's work gone.

Do I wish I'd realised sooner? Absolutely.

Do I regret deleting it? Not for a second.

I'd rather spend another week creating something that genuinely reflects who we are than keep posting something that no longer fits.

Sometimes the best creative decision isn't what you make...

It's what you're brave enough to let go of. 🤍

Everyone seems to be asking the same question at the moment…

"Will AI replace marketers?"

We don't think that's the right question.

The better question is:

How can we use AI to create more time for the work that actually matters?

We use AI almost every day.

Not to write everything for us.
Not to copy and paste generic captions.
Not to remove the human side of marketing.

We use it to:
• organise ideas
• brainstorm when we're stuck
• speed up repetitive admin
• help research
• challenge our thinking

But the strategy?
The creativity?
The understanding of your business?
The conversations that build trust?

That's still human.

AI is just an incredible assistant.

It's not a replacement for experience, personality or genuine connection.

How are you using AI in your business?

👇 We'd love to know what's actually been useful (and what's been overhyped!).

Some weeks everything clicks into place.

Other weeks, it feels like you’re just clinging on for dear life…
your emails stop working, your to-do list somehow gets longer, and the plans you made on Monday have completely changed by Thursday.

This week was definitely the second one. 😅

But if there’s one thing I’ve learnt from building businesses, it’s this:

Showing up consistently matters more than having a perfect week.

So if your week hasn’t gone quite to plan either… this is your reminder to keep going. 🤍

What’s one small win you’ve had this week?

09/07/2026

There's something about putting pen to paper that just helps everything make sense.

Before we open Canva, we spend time understanding the business, the people behind it and what we actually want their content to achieve.

By the time we start designing, the strategy is already there.

It probably looks a tad chaotic...
..but somehow it always turns into a plan. 🤍
