And then I realized something crucial, anyone willing to invest in my services would likely already have a website, social media presence, maybe even a dedicated marketing team. But here's the thing, having a presence in the marketplace doesn't necessarily mean you're telling your story effectively. That's where I come in. My role is to help with the sizzle the extras to help you bring your story to life.
