Thought of the Week: I’m always looking for analogies that make marketing strategy easier to understand, and this week it’s the messy cupboard.

There can be plenty in there, but without a clear place or purpose for everything, you just keep adding more to the pile.

Marketing can be much the same. Strategy helps give everything a place and a purpose.

As a business evolves, the next step isn’t always about creating something new. It can be about recognising what’s already there.

When developing The Authority Method™, I kept coming back to the same questions, conversations and frameworks that had been shaping my work for years.

The clarity came from recognising those patterns, rather than trying to create something entirely new.

It’s something I see with founders, too. As a business grows, the pieces are often already there. They just need to be connected, articulated and brought into a clearer structure.

Because moving forward isn’t always about adding more. It’s about understanding what you’ve already built and knowing what to do with it.

Sometimes the smallest projects are a good reminder of what experience gives you.

I’m on the committee at my daughter’s preschool, Bangalow Community Children’s Centre, and this year I’ve been helping bring their Little Hands Art Trail to life.

As part of Art Week, the children’s artwork will be displayed in shop windows throughout our town. And this year, for the first time, we approached the community event through the lends of a campaign.

I created the concept and name, core messaging and visual direction, then carried it across social, email, print and posters around the village.

And this month, our Little Hands event made the front page of the Bangalow Herald. :)

We didn’t have a big budget or a fancy style guide. I worked with the Centre’s existing logo and colours, then used AI to help bring the creative ex*****on to life.

NOTE: AI helped me execute the campaign. It didn’t come up with the thinking behind it. (That's the difference).

The tools available to small businesses and community organisations now are incredible. But knowing what to do with them, and understanding the marketing principles behind the work, still matters.

It’s also been really lovely using what I know to support my daughter’s preschool and our little Bangalow community. Now I can’t wait to see the kids’ artwork appearing in windows next week.

I’ve been using this little system behind the scenes for a while now, and I’ve finally packaged it up to share with you (for free).

It came from a pretty practical place. I run my own business, I work part-time, have two little ones and as much as I love sharing and the creative side of creating content, I really don’t want it to take over my week (ain’t got time for that).

So instead of constantly thinking about what do I post next?, I started looking harder at some of the ideas I was coming up with and I created a system to get more out of them.

This then became The Content Amplifier. A system I now use for myself and with clients to turn one worthwhile idea into seven different content angles.

I’ve made the guide completely free. You can use the framework on its own, or set it up with the AI platform you already use.

Comment AMPLIFY and I’ll send you the link.

Thought of the Week: Something I often notice when I get under the hood of a business is that there’s plenty of marketing happening, but the thread tying it all together is missing.

Brand positioning, audience and business priorities should be shaping the marketing activity. Otherwise, even good marketing can start to feel like a collection of disconnected tactics.

Where I tend to come in.

My work can look different from one business to the next, because I’m usually responding to what the business actually needs, not trying to fit it into a predetermined service.

Sometimes that means strategy. Sometimes it’s bringing more structure to the marketing, strengthening the brand presence, or simply being an experienced perspective beside the founder.

The work changes, but my role is usually the same: helping you see what matters and decide where to focus next.

A client recently thought I was talking to someone when I was briefing ChatGPT.

It made me realise how much the way I use AI has changed.

I don’t really think about “prompting” anymore. I give it context, talk things through, question the response and keep refining until we get somewhere useful.

For me, AI works best when it supports my thinking, not replaces it.

Curious if your relationship with AI has changed too?

20 years in marketing. Here’s what I believe now.

I’ve worked in marketing for around 20 years now, across advertising, corporate marketing, building brands and, for the past decade, working much more closely with founders and small-to-medium businesses.

The businesses have been different. So have the budgets, teams and challenges.

But there are some things I keep coming back to.

Understanding your customer deeply matters. Brand strategy matters. Consistency matters. Giving good ideas enough time to work matters.

And as I’ve worked more closely with founders, I’ve come to see marketing as part of a much bigger picture, how you make decisions, where you focus, what you systemise, and ultimately, the kind of business you’re trying to build.

These are some of the things I believe now, after 20 years of doing the work.

And I’m sure they’ll keep evolving as I do.

I keep seeing versions of this across the businesses I work with.

Somewhere along the way, marketing became a very, very big job.

And for a lot of founders, it has quietly accumulated around them.

You started by posting on Instagram yourself. Then came email. Paid ads. Partnerships. SEO. Reporting. Content. AI. Customer journeys. More platforms. More data. More things you apparently need to understand.

None of those things are necessarily the problem on their own.

The problem is when the founder is still the person holding all of it together.

There comes a point in the growth of a business where marketing needs to become a function, rather than a collection of things the founder remembers to do.

That might mean better systems. A clearer strategy. Someone taking ownership. A small team with defined roles. AI taking care of some of the repetitive work.

Usually, it’s a combination.

I’m seeing this come up again and again in my work at the moment — and I think it’s becoming one of the bigger challenges for growing small businesses.

My New Rule of 3:

If I find myself doing the same task or job three times, I now stop and work out how I can systemise it.

Whether it's a Skill in Claude or a Custom GPT in Chat.

This is a little ritual I’ve started using in my own business.

Your turn. What's something you're noticing in your business that is repetitive?
