Small Business Casual: Content Marketing, Productivity, Customer Experience for Entrepreneurs & Creators
Welcome to Small Business Casual, where we focus on designing a sustainable, cozy, and thriving business tailored to your LIFE. Not the other way around!
Here, small business meets your favorite pair of slippers. It's a little quirky, not too buttoned up, one less accessory, ahhh… just right.
From customer service, business productivity, and content marketing to making sense-of-the-behind the scenes, chaos, I walk alongside you as we make life and business less of a roller coaster ride and more like a walk in the park (with snacks, of course!).
I offer Small Business Copywriting & Content Marketing Consulting to interior designers, home trade professionals, service providers, coaches, consultants, non-profits, and entrepreneurs with a big mission!

Small Business Casual: Content Marketing, Productivity, Customer Experience for Entrepreneurs & Creators
Just Say "No" to Bro Marketing
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Aggressive, manipulative, disingenuous marketing that prioritizes quick wins and profit over authentic connection and value is OUT.
Cozy, human-centered, ethical, kind marketing is IN!
In this episode, we break down the concept of "bro-marketing" as I help you steer clear of the obvious (and not so obvious) versions I see business owners tempted to try.
Scarcity tactics, pain points, one-size-fits-all solutions and formulas, clickbait, disguises, inflation, and endless pestering... we'll get into it all!
In this episode:
- What is "bro marketing"?
- What are some examples of bro marketing/sheisty marketing?
- What to do instead of sleazy marketing tactics
- Invitation for your own marketing review
- And more!
