Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show

I am your Special Host Richard Wray

Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.

My very special guest today is Amy Cook ...

Amy Cook, founder of Stage Marketing, discusses how her agency helps businesses with full-funnel marketing, digital strategies, and experiential marketing. She emphasizes the importance of understanding customer data and not getting distracted by hype around new technologies. While AI tools can help with efficiency, Amy notes that human creativity and personal touches are still needed to build strong connections with customers. Small businesses are discussed, with advice about carefully managing budgets, researching industry benchmarks, and avoiding too-rapid expansion. Amy also talks about how her agency assists healthcare companies in acquiring new facilities to help them grow while maintaining their mission of improving patient outcomes.

Key Moments:

  • Amy Cook is the founder and CEO of Stage Marketing, a full-service digital marketing agency specializing in healthcare and real estate.
  • She has a PhD background but started the agency out of necessity when her husband lost his job at Lehman Brothers during the 2008 financial crisis.
  • Stage Marketing takes a "revenue operations" approach, focusing on the entire customer journey from sales to experience to grow clients' revenue.
  • Many startups make the mistake of trying to do too much marketing with too many channels and people without understanding what really drives revenue for their business.
  • Small businesses are critical for innovation, progress, and keeping economies strong, so governments should support protections and opportunities for them.
  • When expanding, founders should avoid growing too quickly and understand benchmarks for allocating budgets appropriately between marketing and sales.
  • Data analysis is key to understanding what really drives business and avoiding wasting money on ineffective tactics.
  • While new technologies like AI create hype, solid business fundamentals are still needed to succeed.
  • The human touch will help businesses stand out from purely automated offerings.
  • Stage Marketing uses AI to help clients do more effective and efficient marketing.
