Higher Purpose Marketing | Marketing that makes sense for female entrepreneurs, service businesses, and values-driven brands.

You’ve tried the marketing hacks. You’ve downloaded the freebies. You’ve listened to the “six-figure secrets” that promised overnight growth. And yet… your revenue still doesn’t match your effort. Welcome to Higher Purpose Marketing, where we call out the fluff and fix what’s actually broken in your marketing - so all that hard work finally pays off. I’m Ashley Conway, founder of BeWeird Marketing, and I help female entrepreneurs figure out what’s not working in their marketing and fix it. I blend data with gut instinct (and a dash of sarcasm) to help you build marketing that’s simple, strategic, and actually works. Each week, you’ll get relatable stories, sharp insights, and real talk about the messy middle of marketing - how to attract clients without sounding like everyone else in your feed, make sense of your numbers, and stop doing “all the things” that don’t move the needle. If you’ve ever wanted to throw your laptop out the window after hearing “just be consistent,” you’re in the right place. Grab your Coke Zero. Let’s talk about what’s really going on in your marketing - and how to fix it with a little more smarts (and a lot more sanity).
