Good marketing, like a good story, gives people a reason to stay invested.


Daire Paddy and I talk about what marketers can borrow from romance novels, especially when it comes to emotion, pacing, trust, and the slow build that often happens before someone becomes a client. We also get into why your marketing should feel like a preview of what it’s actually like to work with you.


We talk about:


  • Why emotion plays such a big role in marketing decisions

  • How to balance tension with a clear sense of the outcome people want

  • Why some of your best clients may be quietly paying attention for months or years

  • How your marketing can build trust by showing people how you think and work

  • Why trends and formulas work better when your own voice is still recognizable


People don’t always buy because of one perfectly timed post. Sometimes they’ve been reading, watching, and paying attention quietly for a long time before they’re ready to move. 


And when they do, the marketing that got them there should feel consistent with the experience they’re about to have with you.
