Mother's Day is this Sunday, and whether you agree or not, I believe most moms are superhuman. 🦸 'Momming' while running your own small business, juggling to-dos at home or leading a full marketing team, or all three at once 🤪, is crazy work. But, moms do it all.the.time. They figure it out. They own it. And, that's what I call #supermomenergy For all you busy, supermoms out, here's an encouraging word to say keep going, even when life feels upside down. 🙃 Kelsey Ogletree, a new friend, mom and business owner in the media space, has fresh thoughts on how motherhood and work can be one in the same. Her 5 bits of advice on how she navigates being the founder and CEO of Pitchcraft, a technology platform for lifestyle PR pros prioritizing relationships over transactions, and a new mom, is refreshing and on point. 👌 I'm eager for you to tune into our conversation. —— On top of being an entrepreneur, Kelsey is also an independent journalist for national outlets like The Wall Street Journal, Travel + Leisure and AARP The Magazine. ✍️📰 She has a wealth of knowledge around writing, pitching and building relationships with the media. So, if PR is your thing, tune in today. During our conversation, we talk about the value of: - Working with other moms 👥 - Outsourcing creatively using ChatGPT 👩‍💻 - Growing slowly 🌱 - Keeping your phone away from your kids and in bed 🙅‍♀️ - Involving your children when necessary 🤱 Mom or not, you'll enjoy this episode. Give it a listen! +++ Just as much as you, P&P wants your purpose-driven thang to: - Experience momentum, - Have a positive social impact, - Tell a story that shines among the rest. If you're eager to gain exposure you didn't think was possible for your brand, you have to start looking at your marketing + PR as an ongoing relationship, not a one-off request. 🤝 If you are: - Ministry or non-profit leader - Online service provider - Business or marketing consultant - Health or wellness coach - Course creator - E-commerce shop owner - Tech for good founder Tap us in. ☎️ We'll coach you through collaborative partnerships, strategic media opportunities, content amplification efforts and more that bring in new leads and sales… All while avoiding treating people and your marketing as transactions in the process. 🚫 If this sounds like something you need in your life, give us a ring. 🥳 We offer different PR packages for most price points!

Whether you know it or not, we create systems in our lives every day… at home, at work, and even in relationships. Systems move us from one task to the next, getting us from point A to point B. Sometimes systems are effortless and smooth. Others are a bit clunky. Whether “systemizing your life” is a new or seasoned practice for you, the big question is: have you prioritized systems in your marketing? Chelsi Jo, a friend and mentor of mine, has quite a bit of experience in this area. She recently sat down with me to unpack five ways she makes her ongoing marketing efforts seamless, and I thought you might find these tips helpful too. Chelsi is the host of the top 10 ranked Systemize Your Life Podcast, CEO and Founder of ChelsiJo.Co, + the queen of systems for work from home moms. Her core three systems are the reason why she has been able to grow a business from idea to multiple six figures and never neglect her family in the process. So, our goal here today is to make your marketing more streamlined. With the help of Chelsi, we're covering 5 ways to systemize your marketing in any stage of business, including: - Keeping Track of Your KPIs - Planning Your Top Marketing Strategies Quarterly - Creating a Content Calendar - and more! If you're ready to get more organized in your biz + be more intentional with your time, then I have the episode for you. It's time to dive in! Listen now. +++ Ready to systemize your marketing?

If you've been listening to this podcast for a bit now, you know I love a good event, even on Earth Day 🌎🌱 As someone who has worked for companies that celebrate April 22 all month long, and partnered with a Sustainability team to communicate their “going green” progress globally four years in a row… You can expect I choose marketing strategies and tactics that are not just effective, but sustainable too. ♻️ Marketing (like events) costs a ton of money, energy and time, and often leave behind a ton of waste. Which is why I ALWAYS suggest implementing marketing and PR strategies that aren't just money or time savers, but are better for the environment. 🍃💡 If being more thoughtful of the world around you sounds like something you need in your marketing, take a listen to Episode 40 this week. Here is a preview of the strategies that have stuck with me over my 10+ years in this industry + how they can help you be more sustainable in your biz too. 🌷 1️⃣ Go digital 📲 2️⃣ Invest in sustainable packaging, products or branding 📦 3️⃣ Be vocal about your sustainability choices 🗣 Ready to dive in? Head outside and take a breath of fresh air! It’s time you tuned in. +++ If you have unique questions about how you can be more sustainable in your marketing, reply to this email or reach out at plumandparcel.com/contact. I’d love to setup a discovery call or 60-minute Intensive to talk over the challenges you are having in your business and provide low cost, time efficient marketing and PR strategies that might be the solution.

It's already the third week of April, and I'm wondering where in the world the last couple weeks have gone. With spring break, ongoing sickness and a partner gone traveling for work for a week, it has been a wild ride. 🎢 Can you relate? Thankfully, I was able to take a few steps back without missing a beat. 🥁 And, you know how I did it? CONTENT BATCHING 💖 Batching content is a lifesaver for times like this.

Today we're diving into: 1. Deciding what content to create 2. Designing a content calendar 3. Doing a brain dump 4. Dedicating your time 5. Gathering your materials 6. Gaining momentum 7. …and most importantly, taking breaks! Batching your content really is an excellent strategy to streamline your workflows and boost productivity. AND, it provides great relief in a season when so much can be out of control.😮‍💨 Here are seven awesome content batching tips to start off your week! +++ LINKS: plumandparcel.com/one-page-marketing-planplumandparcel.com/marketing-focus-frameworkplumandparcel.com/playbookhttps://bit.ly/chat-with-austinfacebook.com/groups/marketingyourpurposeplumandparcel.com@plumandparcel austinkapur

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”. And, their online promotion of the planners rocked her business for the good! 💰 But, like most businesses, her marketing and PR strategy had to evolve. 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. I'm so excited for you to learn more about her, the multiple businesses she runs and her evolving marketing mix on the Marketing Your Purpose podcast today. If you're ready to propel a dream or simply advance your marketing strategy… come take a listen. 🎧 Hear about the investment she made in P&P, “the best money [she] ever spent" in her business. 💵 +++ LINKS: www.horacioprinting.com/workshopwww.horacioprinting.com/printschoolhttps://bit.ly/chat-with-austinfacebook.com/groups/marketingyourpurposeplumandparcel.com@plumandparcel austinkapur

We're kicking off Holy Week with a very special guest. 🤍 Michelle Myers is the founder of She Works His Way, a non-profit organization for working women. She is an author, wife and mama of three children. And, has a VAST amount of wisdom to share around doing what matters most versus simply getting things done. 🙇‍♀️ Culture tells us to care about everything, but Scripture tells us to care about a few things. As Lent ends and we fall back into our patterns again (myself with social media), Michelle will help encourage you to avoid being swept up in the hustle again. 👏 She'll help you pause to remember the weight of this week, and leave you with three foundational reminders… Especially, for us women who are ambitious and want more – but want that more to not be defined by this world. ⛅ Unable to hop into Episode 36 of the Marketing Your Purpose podcast?

When I first set out to create the Marketing Your Purpose podcast, one of my greatest weapons was my email list. Creating a carefully thought through list was no easy task. It took energy, time and investing in a strategy that as my new friend Rachel Lopez of Gal Agency describes was manageable and sustainable. But, that didn't happen overnight. So, my goal here today is to make your email marketing strategy simpler. With the help of Rachel, we're covering three questions you should ask yourself when starting your own email list at any stage of business, including: ➟ Where are you at in your business? ➟ What can email do for you? ➟ How will email fit into your entire marketing ecosystem? When Rachel first reached out to be a guest, I was most excited about her belief that your marketing should feel as good as your purpose. If amping up your email marketing strategy, and being more intentional in your biz are on your radar in 2024, tune into this episode.

It’s no secret that purpose-driven marketing is powerful and so many brands have adopted their purpose, but many often put the cart, i.e. the marketing and messaging, before the horse… Plum & Parcel included. Purpose brings us together. It’s often at the center of many of the companies we work with and for, and for good reason. It’s in our human nature… the way we talk to each other, the way we think about our lives, the way we exercise our time, gifts and voices. Purpose is important to all of us. But, what’s even more important as marketers and communicators, is that we hold ourselves and our counterparts accountable to lead with purpose, so our stories of impact are rooted in truth and follow through. Tune in to hear how you can put purpose at the center of it all! Want to make a pivot in your marketing this year? Grab our free Marketing Focus Framework.

Happy New Year, friends! This time of year is so important to me, particularly as I set the whole following year up. I believe it's CRUCIAL to set intentions for the year ahead while also trusting that all of the moving pieces are working for a greater purpose 🤍 I learned a lot this past year and I’m excited to share some of those lessons with you. I’m also excited to share how I’m taking these lessons and pivoting, and how you can pivot well too. From assessing your thoughts to talking to your target audience and asking them what they want, I hope these suggestions help you make a successful pivot in any area of your life. I hope it gets you excited, and encourages you in the process. Want to make a pivot in your marketing this year? Grab our free Marketing Focus Framework.
