Transitioning from entrepreneurship to speaking full-time, Cynthia embarked on a mission to harness digital platforms to amplify her voice and reach.
Despite her enthusiasm and expertise, Cynthia encountered substantial hurdles in crafting an effective marketing strategy to amplify her speaking business.

However, lacking specificity and direct experience in digital marketing channels led to inefficiencies.
Navigating Digital Complexity: Challenges like generating relevant prompts, navigating the vast responses from AI tools, and conducting over 200 interviews to understand her audience's pain points highlighted the complexity of digital marketing. Moreover, her significant investment of time and resources—$5,000 on marketing consultants and countless hours on strategy development—underscored her commitment and the need for a focused, tailored, and effective approach.
Resource Allocation: The initial strategy development phase consumed not only a substantial financial investment but also an immense amount of time, reflecting the depth of Cynthia's commitment to finding a solution that could truly make a difference.
