Values

marketing

Sometimes we hesitate to share our values in our marketing, but more and more consumers actively seek out companies who they feel deeply aligned with. Values are your principles, standards of behavior, and judgements about what is important to you in life. Bringing your values into your marketing can help you build stronger relationships with your clients. This alone can become the difference between a lukewarm experience and five-star client reviews. In these lessons, you’ll look deeply at your values, come to understand how they inform the work you do, and you’ll develop a sense of your boundaries and comfortability with sharing them in your marketing. You’ll also learn how to build campaigns connected to your values and learn how you can use campaign-style marketing in your day-to-day operations.

“I've been fighting burn out for 6 months. Today, I felt a spark about my business again. I felt like I can exist as myself AND bring in the people I want to work with. I am actually excited about my next steps, in comparison to lacking a desire to work on my business at all. I feel seen and heard, and I am so glad the audience members were vulnerable and open during the coaching sessions. I gained a lot of insight from their perspectives. Damaly is here to help you work through the symptoms of social media dread and address the underlying causes, bring you back into alignment with your values and passion, and gives you permission to be authentic.”

“I just want to say, Damaly has a way with words and I am so excited she is here to teach us to learn how to use our words! I just finished Words for Photographers and it was everything I hoped it would be and then some. I feel so much more confident putting what I want to say out there and putting it out there in my voice and not the voice I always felt like I needed to use. Damaly has you rethinking the definition of "professional" and gives you the permission you need to be yourself. I cannot recommend this course enough. Writing posts for my social media is so much easier and I cannot wait to dive in an rework my website copy, too! Thanks Damaly and TPM for being amazing!”
