What kind of content should you create when you want to start a movement (or launch a product)? In this on-air coaching call, I help my guest Marnie Clark with ideas and strategies to generate awareness and interest in a movement she’s starting around premium, hand-crafted non-alcoholic cocktails. Marnie’s been frustrated that when she goes to restaurants or out with friends, she’s stuck ordering water or frozen slushy drinks. She wants a beautiful, delicious cocktail, minus the alcohol. We talk about what kinds of videos to create, who to target, and how she can incorporate her story into her content. About My Guest: Marnie Clark is a business owner who has played an integral role for the past 27-years in the multi-million-dollar construction company that she has helped build alongside her husband. Marnie is also the founder of Marnie Rae, a lifestyle brand that spotlights handcrafted, soft cocktails. Nestled near Hood Canal in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, Marnie loves to enjoy the outdoors - hiking, running, paddle-boarding and boating. Traveling and family are high on her list but you can’t leave off the Seahawks or coffee! Being sober has led Marnie to explore a new passion and she is excited to share this with others. Marnie is recognized as a founder of the Dine and Dream Dinner and a past producer of The Inspired You Event. Highlights: How Marnie found her niche and is filling a void for her audience How sharing your story is important because that’s what your audience will relate to How large the market is for handcrafted non-alcoholic beverages The importance of visual imagery when creating our content and user generated content How working with local restaurants and TV channels can help spark a movement Links: Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/42 Marnie’s website Connect with Marnie on Instagram @MarnieRaeC My interview on the Food Blogger Pro podcast #106 Join the free Speaking Your Brand community at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/join/.
