  • When to Rethink: Recognising the Right Time to Refresh Your Marketing Strategy
    Feb 25 2026

    In this episode of Better Marketing, Marketing Magic in Minutes, I’m talking about how to recognise when it’s the right time to refresh your marketing strategy.

    Sometimes marketing feels harder than it should. The results slow down, the energy drops, or your message no longer feels quite aligned with where your business is heading. In this episode, I explain the signs that suggest it may be time to rethink your approach.

    Refreshing your marketing doesn’t mean starting from scratch. Often, it’s about reviewing what’s working, letting go of what isn’t, and realigning your strategy with your current goals, audience, and ambitions.

    I’ll share practical guidance to help you step back, assess your positioning, and make confident adjustments that bring clarity and momentum back into your marketing.

    By the end of the episode, you’ll feel empowered to make strategic changes at the right time, ensuring your marketing continues to support your growth rather than hold it back.

  • The Hidden Power of Brand Voice: Sounding Like You, Everywhere
    Feb 18 2026

    In this episode of Better Marketing, Marketing Magic in Minutes, I’m exploring the hidden power of your brand voice, and why sounding like you, everywhere, makes such a difference.

    Your brand voice is more than just tone, it’s the personality and consistency behind every piece of communication you share. When your voice is clear and recognisable, it builds familiarity, trust, and connection across all platforms.

    In this episode, I’ll explain why inconsistency in messaging can dilute your impact, and how defining your voice helps you show up confidently, whether you’re writing emails, posting on social media, or speaking to clients.

    We’ll look at practical ways to clarify your brand voice so that your marketing feels aligned, authentic, and unmistakably yours. When your audience knows what to expect from you, they feel more comfortable engaging and buying.

    By the end of the episode, you’ll understand how a strong, consistent brand voice strengthens your authority and makes your marketing far more effective.

  • Building Authority Online: From Expert to Thought Leader
    Feb 11 2026

    In this episode of Better Marketing, Marketing Magic in Minutes, I’m talking about how to build authority online and move from being seen as an expert to becoming a recognised thought leader.

    Many service-based business owners are highly skilled in their work, but they struggle to communicate that expertise in a way that builds credibility and trust online. In this episode, I explain the difference between simply being knowledgeable and being visible in a way that positions you as a leader in your field.

    We’ll explore how sharing insights, experiences, and informed opinions can elevate your presence, strengthen your reputation, and attract the right clients. Authority isn’t about being louder than everyone else; it’s about being consistent, clear, and confident in your message.

    By the end of the episode, you’ll understand how to use your knowledge strategically, show up with purpose, and build a stronger online presence that supports long-term growth.
