“Pretty doesn’t mean it’s going to work.”

That quote from marketing veteran James Hipkin cuts to the core of a major problem for online business owners: too much noise, too little strategy. With four decades of top-tier marketing experience across four countries, James joins us to unravel the confusion and teach you how to swap chaos for clarity, without falling for the next shiny thing.

James Hipkin has been at the helm of multimillion-dollar marketing efforts and now helps small business owners use enterprise-level strategies on a manageable scale. His superpower? Translating big-budget principles into simple, actionable tools for the rest of us.

We Also Talked About:

  • Why repelling the wrong customers is just as crucial as attracting the right ones
  • The marketing funnel vs. the sales funnel—and why confusing them kills results
  • The "hub and spoke" model for aligning your website, channels, and content
  • How UTM codes help you stop guessing and start tracking what works
  • Why most business owners are shouting from rooftops no one can hear
  • How to build trust through your marketing (and why it matters more than ever)
  • The truth about buyer’s journeys—and why ignoring them costs you sales
  • “Call to action” vs. “People Like You” pathways—what to say instead
