Nearly a decade ago [much before TikTok], I started working with my good friend Polly Payne, the visionary and CEO behind Horacio Printing and the creator of the Christian Dream Planner. 📖 Horacio Printing was one of my first clients, and together, we executed an influencer marketing strategy that was flawless. 🤌 Polly's planners landed in the hands of the most perfect “celebs”.

Over the years, Polly has not only leveraged influencers, social media marketing, podcast tours, a robust email list, SMS and so much more… 📱 But, she has nailed the art of urgency and incentives that catapult her perfect customer to buy her planners again and again and again. 🛒 Polly is an incredible example of applying an integrated marketing and PR approach.
