5:01 Marketing Club Presents: Kara Hess

If Your Marketing Isn't Working, It's Usually One of These Three Things.

Are your marketing efforts falling flat? Join us as Kara Hess, founder of Dazium Design Solutions, shares the three most common reasons marketing doesn't deliver results—and what you can do to fix them.

With years of experience helping businesses and nonprofits build stronger brands through strategic marketing, websites, branding, and digital experiences, Kara brings practical insights you can apply immediately.

Kara believes great marketing should be like your favorite T-shirt—comfortable, authentic, memorable, and something people naturally gravitate toward instead of something that feels forced.

Whether you're a business owner, marketer, or entrepreneur looking to attract more customers and strengthen your brand, this is a presentation you won't want to miss.

📅 Join us on August 6th at the 5:01 Marketing Club for an evening of networking, learning, and actionable marketing strategies.

Bring a colleague or friend and come ready to discover what's holding your marketing back—and how to move it forward!

What an incredible evening at 5:01 Marketing Club!

A huge thank you to Brent Darden for sharing practical strategies on time management, public speaking, and social media marketing. His message was packed with actionable insights that every entrepreneur and business owner can apply immediately to work smarter, communicate more effectively, and create greater impact.

One takeaway that really resonated came from Becky Standley, who reminded us:

Growth leaves clues. When someone is producing the results you admire, pull up a chair and learn. Every opportunity to grow makes us better equipped to serve others.

That's exactly what the 5:01 Marketing Club is all about—learning from experienced leaders, building meaningful relationships, and leaving each meeting with ideas you can put into action.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make another great evening of networking and learning. We're already looking forward to next month's meeting!
