The Firemaking Strategy - How to Build a Marketing Plan That Actually Works
Marketing is a lot like building a fire. It takes a spark to get things started, the right fuel to keep it burning, and a little oxygen to make it roar. And, much like an actual fire, marketing without a plan is just a sad pile of unlit logs—full of potential, but going nowhere fast.
That’s why we created the Firemaking Strategy Worksheet—a simple, structured, and dare we say, fun way to evaluate and ignite your marketing efforts. And yes, it’s free. You can grab your copy here when you're ready. But first, let’s talk about why this is a game-changer for businesses of all sizes.
