In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the Co-Founder of Wild Coffee Marketing, Amy Anderson.

Amy\'s passion for marketing is deeply rooted in her experience as a client-side marketer. This unique perspective allows her to understand the needs of her clients, who range from franchises and quick-service restaurants to B2B companies.

At Wild Coffee Marketing, they focus on understanding the target audience and their needs, which is a crucial aspect of marketing. Their unique positioning allows them to provide strategy, leadership, and execution for their clients.

Amy explained the benefits of hiring a fractional VP of marketing or CMO, especially for companies that lack a senior marketing person in-house. This approach offers cost-effectiveness and flexibility, providing both strategy and execution.

Amy pointed out that the pandemic stripped away the salesy-ness and gimmicks, allowing businesses to focus on meeting the needs of their customers. She advised companies to treat clients like adults and build collaborative relationships rather than transactional ones. This involves clearly explaining how to solve customers\' pain points and avoiding jargon or over-selling.

Amy also shared that Wild Coffee Marketing is undergoing a rebranding process, focusing on helping midsize companies with their marketing strategies on a fractional basis. She invited listeners to visit their website to find insights and articles on their blog, "Deja Brew." They can also schedule a consultation with Amy to discuss their overall strategy.
