A marketing budget isn't one line item. It's three: getting found, getting trusted, and getting hired. Plan for all three going into next year, not just one.

Try this (30 seconds): ask ChatGPT "Who should I hire for [your service] in [your city]?" Then ask Google AI Mode the same thing.

Are you in the answer? Read the reasons it gives. Every one of them is something you can fix.

End-of-year planning isn't about launching something new in December. It's about walking into January with a plan instead of a blank page.

A free Website Checkup is a good place to start.

I’ve had a creative itch lately, so I dug through the archives and pulled out some footage from a studio shoot Myles Cronk and I did for Saugatuck Brewing Co.

I stumbled across some of their brand assets online, grabbed the Shandy Man, and decided to have a little fun.

With the help of Adobe Creative Cloud , some generated blueberries, and a little time in Premiere Pro, I pieced together this animated spec piece.

No client brief. No deadline. Just creating something because I wanted to.

I’ve been buried in spreadsheets, accounting, and the business side of running an agency lately.

Sometimes it’s good to put all that aside, open up the creative tools, and make something just for the hell of it.

A good reminder of why I started all this in the first place.

Most marketing budgets go to whatever feels urgent that month.

Ads one quarter. A website refresh the next.

That’s how money gets spent without moving revenue.

Here’s what happens when one piece is missing.

Plenty of traffic but few reviews? People find you, then call someone else.

Great reviews but little traffic? Nobody sees them.

Leads coming in but slow follow-up? They book with whoever answers first.

Plan for all three and each piece helps the others pay off.

The next video is about divorce too.

So I want to make something clear before I share it:

This series isn’t about my divorce.

My divorce is just one of the hard things I’ve gone through.

This series is about the hard s**t people go through.

Divorce. Addiction. Failure. Losing people. Starting over. Mental health. Money. Relationships. Making mistakes you wish you could take back. Looking in the mirror and realizing you need to change.

Whatever your version of the hard part is.

Mine happens to include divorce.

And when I filmed these videos, I wanted to talk about it because it changed me. It broke parts of me. It exposed other parts of me. And eventually, it forced me to grow.

But this isn’t about blame.

It isn’t about relitigating a marriage that ended years ago.

And it definitely isn’t about pretending I handled everything perfectly.

It’s about what happens to a person when life doesn’t go according to plan—and what you choose to do next.

We all have hard parts.

These are just some of mine.

SEO didn't die. It moved.

People still search. They just ask Google AI Mode and ChatGPT "who should I hire?" and get three names back.

If yours isn't one of them, you're losing the job before anyone knew you existed.

It started with an email. 📩

“What about Root Monster?”

No brief, no deck. Just an idea.

So we built him. 🌳👀

An unwanted house guest who sneaks into your sewer line through a tiny crack and makes himself at home on the couch.

Then we gave him a whole campaign. Wanted posters. Eviction notices. Animated spots. A landing page with one clear offer.

The rule: 50% entertain, 50% drive leads. Funny gets attention. Funny alone doesn’t book jobs.

Swipe to see how one weird idea became a full campaign. →

Send your agency the weird idea. We dare you.
