Marketing Unzipped
Ever wondered why digital marketing feels like trying to zip up a tent in a storm? The strategies never quite fit, the jargon makes no sense, and you’re left wondering if anyone really knows what they’re doing.
Well, good news—you’re not alone. And you’re definitely in the right place.
Welcome to Marketing Unzipped.
This is a podcast where we take digital marketing apart, piece by piece, and figure out how to zip it back together in a way that works for you.
Some episodes will be just me—sharing honest insights, actionable strategies, and lessons I’ve learned from years of trial and error. But I’m also lining up some absolutely incredible guests. Business owners, marketers, and thought leaders from all sorts of industries—people who’ve been in the trenches, built campaigns from scratch, and, yes, made plenty of mistakes along the way.
We’ll be diving into their biggest successes, their facepalm moments, and the hard-won lessons that shaped their marketing journeys. I want you to walk away from every episode with actionable advice, fresh ideas, and the confidence to try something new in your own business.
