Marketing from the Car
The podcast for local leaders and doers who want to take back control of their marketing, their time, and their community’s future.
In each short episode (usually under 8 minutes), Brian Ostrovsky shares bite-sized, actionable tips based on the proven Marketing 3-4-5™ approach.
Whether you’re with a Main Street program, Chamber of Commerce, DMO, nonprofit, or a local business that’s tired of spinning your wheels, this podcast will help you make real progress without adding more to your plate.
No fluff. No hype. Just practical insights you can learn while driving and implement when parked, in the drive-thru, or before your next meeting.
Effective marketing helps you reach your goals and, together, we can #TakeBackLocal
