Take F*cking Risks: 3 Ways to Get Noticed
16 Jul 2019
I've just launched a new YouTube channel!! The concept? I take real businesses struggling to stand the f*ck out, provide my positioning/branding/lead gen help, and record it all for YouTube. The first mini-series features three freelance marketers (copywriter Rob, ecommerce designer Laura, and non-fiction book coach Vicky).I hope you'll set aside half an hour to watch it through. Maybe with your morning coffee? Or lunch break? Or evening onion soup? And then, the usual "Subscribe, Like, Share" would go a long, long way too.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNXaHHVnVntg5gpveB-5_Q***There is no magic formula to helping your brand stand out amongst the crowd.
