Navigating Without a Map: The Real Cost of “Winging It” in Marketing
Your business moves with intention, your marketing should too.
Never ask me for driving directions.
You will 100% get lost. Sense of direction? Nonexistent.
Sense of marketing and event strategy? Rock solid.
I’ve spent 20 years in the trenches—shoulder-to-shoulder with sales—watching “marketing fluff” trigger more eye-rolls than a teenager at dinner. Here’s the uncomfortable truth: building your plan without a strategy is just expensive wandering.
The Cost of Going Map-Less
Burned budget: Meta ads that don’t convert because the targeting and message are off.
Bad impressions: An event that feels chaotic and leaves a bad taste behind.
Dead air: Messaging that says nothing because it’s aimed at the wrong people.
What Happens When You Move With Intention
Right people, right time, right message. Targeting that makes buyers feel seen—and ready.
Events that earn loyalty. Memorable experiences that connect, not just collect badges.
Conversations that convert. Authentic, next-step dialogue that moves buyers to “sign me up.”
You can keep following what might work and keep asking the wrong people for directions… or you can get a real map.
I help businesses move with intention—so every tactic lines up, pulls its weight, and rolls up to your big goals. If you’re done wandering, let’s chart the route.
