A social media guru, a billboard guru, and a radio guru walk into a bar… and instead of arguing about who’s “the best,” we end up swapping stories and laughing about how all of it works better together.

People think we’re competitors, but I don’t see it that way. Marketing isn’t about choosing just one lane, it’s about layering tactics so they build on each other. Social, billboards, radio, tv, print… when you mix them, you multiply the results.

Because at the end of the day, when the tide rises, all ships rise. 🌊✨

(Oh, and we are all accepting clients😜)

Thank you Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce for a great morning!

What happens when the daughter of one of Springfield’s most well-known commercial real estate agents decides to take on his social media?

That’s exactly the story with Hannah.

We first met at Ladies Who Launch in July, and today she sat down with me for a 90-minute coaching session to figure out how to turn her dad’s strong offline reputation (Jeff Childs) into an online personal brand.

Here’s what we covered together:

✨ A brand-new LinkedIn bio for Jeff that leaned into storytelling rather than just a list of credentials.
✨ A second bio version for other platforms so everything felt cohesive and professional.
✨ A 16-page custom guide answering every single one of her questions with examples, strategies, and next steps.
✨ 25+ tailored content ideas for social media with direction on how to start the caption and visual to give her a true jumpstart.
✨ Caption structure, storytelling frameworks, and an easy plan to start posting videos (with nothing more than a phone + an Amazon mic).

But beyond the deliverables, the real win was this: Hannah walked away confident. She told me, “Christine, you were so easy to work with, and you can just tell you’re the expert in your field.”

That’s the heart of my coaching sessions. It’s not just about walking away with a checklist, it’s about leaving with clarity, direction, and the confidence to actually do the thing.

Right now, I have 2 spots open for a one-time, 90-minute social media coaching session. If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and finally feel like you know what you’re doing on social media especially as we head into Q4, this is your sign.

I just spent the past 6 nights in paradise and for the first time ever as a business owner...

I didn’t check into work. Not once.

Normally, I “sneak” into email or Slack out of fear that something will fall apart if I’m not there.

But this time? I said screw it. My team’s got this. Everything else can wait.

And damn… it felt good.

I read two books. Drank my body weight in piña coladas. Took a yoga class. Ate fresh seafood. Danced. Sang karaoke. Made friends from across the country. Laughed until the early hours of the morning.

I lived. I felt alive.

And in the middle of all that joy, I had a realization: the way I’ve been running my business has to change.

Starting in September, it will.

➡️ People-pleasing? A thing of the past.
➡️ Boundaries? Non-negotiable.
➡️ Working myself to the bone while life passes me by? Absolutely not.

I’ve been working behind the scenes with my business coach on shifts that will allow me to delegate more with my business, step into my role as a leader, and actually enjoy the peace I’ve worked so hard to earn.

Yes, I am slowly but surely stepping out of the day to day👏🏻

This trip was the reminder I didn’t know I needed: business isn’t supposed to drain you. It’s supposed to support you.

Here’s to building a business that gives me my life back.

This wasn’t just another Saturday sweat, it was something bigger👏🏻👇🏻🏋️‍♀️

This morning, and I got to start the day with a workout that was more than just a workout, it was for a great cause. 💪

hosted, "Sweat for Supplies" in partnership with , a local nonprofit here that makes sure students have the essentials—health, food, and hygiene—so they can walk into school feeling confident and ready to succeed. Because when kids have what they need, they’re not just ready for school… they’re ready for life.

And wow… the AYB community showed UP. Piles of supplies for kids who will now have one less worry on their shoulders. That’s what community looks like.

We also got to cheer on one of AYB’s newest trainers, Ethan, during his very first Saturday 8:15am class, he crushed it.

It was a morning of sweating, giving back, and being surrounded by the kind of people who make you better. I even wore my brand colors to rep Morton Marketing 417 because, well… you know I had to😂💜

AYB isn’t just a gym for me, it’s a safe space, a community, and a place I’m proud to be connected to as a member, a personal training client, and as their social media partner.

When you surround yourself with people who care about more than just themselves, it changes you, in the best way.

What if your next customer already decided not to work with you and you had no idea why?

Smart business owners know that social media is where customers research and decide before they walk through your door or pick up the phone.

That means your online presence isn’t just “marketing," it’s the first impression of your business.

If your social media feels scattered, confusing, or like an afterthought, you’re making it harder for potential customers to say yes to working with you.

I recently worked with a business owner who felt overwhelmed by where to even start. They were doing their best with a page and word-of-mouth but knew they needed a clearer plan to grow.

After one focused, judgment-free coaching session with me, they walked away with:
✔️ Resources to post quality content
✔️ Confidence about what to post and why
✔️ Real tools to show up consistently without stress

That’s exactly what I help business owners like you do inside the "What Do I Even Post?" Content Strategy Intensive.

If you want coaching that meets you where you are, helps you get unstuck, and empowers you to take control of your social media, this is for you.

Not posting THIS one type of content is costing you money and it's not what you think.

It's not Reels, not hashtags, not another tutorial.

Here’s the reality: We have an attention span shorter than a goldfish.

And in a noisy feed filled with promos and “tips,” your audience is craving something that feels different.

Something that feels human.

But the secret ingredient most businesses skip? Humor.

Not jokes for the sake of it. But lightness. Wit. The kind of content that makes your audience say,
"Okay… I like them."

Humor builds likability and that matters more than ever in a season where people buy from brands they remember.

The best part?

It doesn’t make you less credible. It makes you more relatable.

And when paired with the right strategy, it becomes one of the fastest ways to build trust and boost engagement.

Inside the "What Do I Even Post?" Content Strategy Intensive, we figure out what your version of that looks like, so you can show up with confidence, clarity, and content that actually works.

The secret isn’t a holiday hashtag, it's THIS👇

The businesses who wait until November to start showing up with intention are the same ones who panic-post through Black Friday, feel burnt out by mid-December, and miss out on the long game of brand trust and repeat sales.

But the ones who start now?

They make noise before the noise starts.
They build brand desire before the promo posts.
They become memorable before the inbox is flooded with “50% off.”

Swipe through to see what I’d prioritize now if I wanted to actually sell through social media this season, without sounding like everyone else online.

👉 And if you’re thinking: “That all sounds good, but what do I even post?”

That’s literally what I’ll help you with inside my 4-week Content Strategy Intensive, "What Do I Even Post"

We’ll map it all out.
We’ll workshop content ideas.
And you’ll leave with the knowledge to succeed on social media all season long!

Here's your 4-week content strategy👇

Fall is right around the corner and you know what that means.

It’s not just pumpkin spice lattes and cozy sweaters.

We’re talking fall launches, holiday gift guides, Black Friday madness, and New Year’s buzz — the season when wallets fly open and buyers scroll with purpose.

Your audience isn’t just browsing. They’re hunting for what to buy next.

Here’s the kicker: The brands with a clear, smart content strategy?

They’re the ones grabbing attention, sliding into inbox DMs, and ringing the cash register.

The ones without a plan? They freeze. They overthink. They post into the void.
And then... disappear.

That’s why my 4-week coaching container, "What Do I Even Post?" Content Strategy Intensive isn’t about just cranking out content for a few weeks. It’s about arming you with the strategy, systems, and confidence to show up consistently — all season long.

No scrambling. No second-guessing.

Just leading your social media with clarity and power during the busiest, highest-stakes time of your year.

Because when the shopping frenzy hits, your content needs to do the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Almost five years ago, I didn’t even own a working laptop.

I was sitting on the floor of my one-bedroom apartment with a borrowed MacBook (thanks, ) and a pile of scribbled notes on loose paper, trying to map out this wild idea that maybe, just maybe, I could build something of my own.

No team.
No clients.
Just a dream… and a whole lot of “I have no idea what I’m doing.”

And now?

My team and I at Morton Marketing 417 LLC were just featured in , a national press article highlighting our work with , helping them show up more boldly, more intentionally, and more them on social media as they gear up for a full rebrand to celebrate 25 years in business.

Twenty-five years of family fun, and now we get to help tell that story in a fresh, exciting way. I still can’t believe it.

If someone had told that girl on the floor, pen in hand, second-guessing every move, that she’d one day work with a national brand and see her business in Yahoo Finance?

I think she would've cried. Or choked. Or thrown up. Or all three.

What I do know is this: We’re not “just a little business” anymore. We’re doing real, meaningful, big-impact work and we’re doing it together.

Shoutout to .virtualsolutions, who’s been beside me on this project—helping build the strategy, create the content, attend meetings, and pour care into every post.

And , the silent force behind our systems, workflows, and organization—she makes sure we don’t miss a beat.

And for visuals?

Tiffany Enowski with .branding helped us capture incredible photo and video assets (see what I did there 😂) that brought this brand to life.

This kind of work? It takes a team.
And I’m so proud of mine.

Big thank you to and the entire Incredible Pizza team for trusting us with your brand voice and vision on social media. We’re honored, we’re excited, and we’re just getting started.
