If you’re like most marketers, 2023 has been a strange year. Some months have yielded goal-crushing results while other months have left you wondering if your business was going to make it. Why so much uncertainty? A lot of it has to do with the volatile economy and constant speculation about a recession. But just like many businesses and marketers found ways to thrive in the 2008 recession, today’s up-and-down economy represents an opportunity for you, too.

 

In today’s episode, J.J. and April talk with the Director of the StoryBrand Certified Guide Program, Macy Robison. Macy shares that while everyone is adjusting to a post-pandemic world with a lot of uncertainty, marketers have the opportunity to get creative serving customers. Macy gives specific tips on how you can use the uncertainty to their advantage by creating new and timely product offerings to grow your business and bottom line. Tune in now to see how you can finish 2023 strong and set yourself up for an even better 2024!
