Testimonials
“After meeting with Scott for one hour, he taught us more than what two different marketing companies did. We are a small startup and couldn't quite find our niche. Through the expertise of Scott, my husband and I honed in on our B2B core values, focus, and marketing strategies. Thank you!”
-Becki Smith, Director of Operations, HRKyle
“Our conversation was incredibly valuable, and I walked away with several new perspectives. The nuggets you shared about audience targeting, setting measurable goals, and building stronger social media strategies were especially helpful. They’ve already got me thinking about how I can sharpen my approach and be more intentional in the way I move forward. These ideas give me a roadmap I can put into action right away, and I’m excited to test them as I refine my approach.”
-Dreama Whitfield, Founder, DM Whits, Curator of Good Thoughts
