Dani Kimble's Linkedin Analytics

2 years into my marketing business, and I wanted to quit. (like… literally change careers) I took on every request: - Lead generation - Paid ads - SEO Suddenly, I found myself way too busy buried in all the wrong type of work. The constant request for short term tactics, with most lacking a solid brand foundation for these tactics to scale. It was incredibly frustrating. As a marketer, I knew the highest-ROI channels needed a brand strategy: - Referrals trump cold leads when you have a brand worth recommending - Retention outweighs acquisition when there’s an authentic brand connection - Content drives impact when it’s an authentic expression of the brand’s voice - Paid ad yield profits when you know exactly who your target audience is There was this huge gap that no one seemed to be addressing. The lack of brand strategy underpinning it all. So, I pivoted in 2023 to focus less on marketing, more on brand. → Brand foundation → Brand strategy → Brand story → Brand identity I started with target market research. Then I added positioning and differentiation. Then I added brand story, POVs, and messaging. Then I created the visuals to help communicate it all. Each addition produced a stronger foundation, which led to more strategic and scalable marketing approach and greater results. So, I redesigned my business and core solution: Brand Strategy Though way harder to “measure” - brand strategy is the force multiplier for marketing spend.
