Laura | GrowthSpurt Strategies

I’ve worked with startups to Fortune 100s, but my heart was always with the small business community. There’s a common misconception that effective digital marketing requires huge budgets and teams, but great marketing simply stems from our human need for story.

In my work, I help small business owners build on their strengths by focusing on articulating their value in a way that feels authentic. We preserve their unique brand identity while creating content that connects, converts, and lasts.

FAQs

Is Digital Marketing Expensive?

It doesn’t have to be! There are many different types of marketing (i.e. traditional vs. digital marketing; organic vs. inorganic; brand, customer, demand, etc,), but organic digital marketing is a super cost-effective way for small businesses to promote themselves. It’s also vital for businesses growing an audience from scratch.

This is because organic digital marketing leverages widely-used owned or earned media channels that have little-to-no associated technology or subscription costs. Examples of these media channels include your website, social media profiles, a Reddit account, a podcast, or a YouTube channel.

What is Organic Content Marketing?

Content marketing focuses on creating resources of value to prospective audiences that position the business and its services as an authority and trusted source of information. The organic aspect convinces someone to seek out your business and resources for answers all on their own.

This requires having a deepened level of understanding of your ideal client’s needs and questions, and is often more time-consuming than paid digital advertising. But the result is a highly invested and interested qualified lead with higher likelihood of purchase intent.

Organic marketing efforts often leverage a combination of AI & search engine optimization (SEO), social media marketing, video marketing (i.e. YouTube), forum (i.e. Reddit), lists and repositories, podcasts, opt-in subscriber emails, content partner collaborations, and sales enablement content development.

What Is the Difference Between Marketing and Sales?

Marketing teams generate demand by building awareness of a business’s services in strategic places. Their goal is to attract new leads and nurture existing ones, helping them to understand how your business solves their problem.

Sales teams take qualified leads (who show genuine interest) and convert them into paying clients. Salespeople help contacts come to the conclusion that your business is the best and only solution to their business problem.

While marketing and sales work hand-in-hand to communicate the value of your business, they serve distinct functions of a business. Check out this glossary of digital marketing terms to better understand digital marketing areas of scope.

Do You Support Paid Digital Advertising Services?

We primarily tackle projects using an organic marketing approach that leverages earned and owned media efforts. We do this to better understand what messaging and content actually engages audiences so that you can better optimize and inform your paid media efforts.

We don’t support solely paid ad campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, or PPC ads on Google or Bing, but we can work with a paid digital advertising specialist to inform their campaigns using an organic, content-first approach. Otherwise, it’s expensive guesswork.
