[00:01:02] Heather Heuman: Hey, thank you so much, Jennifer and Heather, I’m excited to be here, hanging out with you ladies.
[00:01:07] Jennifer: Great. Well, we appreciate your time. We’d like to just start out and let you orient our listeners to you and your business to just give us that quick overview of what do you do in marketing and who are you working with?
[00:01:19] Heather Heuman: Yeah. Great question. So, you know, I would say our happy place and, where we love to geek out on relating to social media strategy is the strategy component, because so oftentimes people are busy doing all the things and all the tactics and all of the TikTok dances, but they actually have no idea what their actual strategy is.
And so the main thing we love to say is that your social media efforts should be aligned with what your business goals are. I love to focus on organic social media without having to feel that you have to have paid ads, relationships, and the power of video. And so we come alongside our clients, which sometimes are 6, 7, 8, 9 figure companies, and we’re actually more so just developing a strategy for them, or we’re actually helping teach up and train their in-house team.
All the way to the other end, where we have a program where we come alongside Christian CEOs and business owners that are maybe at that level of maybe three or less people on their team. And they want help, but they’re not in that position to be able to have a full blown marketing agency, helping them with social.

[00:02:41] Heather Heuman: I mean,
