Send us a text In this episode of Marketing Espresso, I’m joined by Asthaar Kool to talk about one of the most powerful parts of business - positioning. It’s that invisible thread that determines whether people instantly get what you do, or scroll past your brand entirely. Asthaar explains that product positioning helps people choose you, while brand positioning helps them stay. Together, they form the foundation of everything you do in marketing & sales. We explore the difference between...

Send us a text If you’ve ever looked at your to-do list and thought, “Why am I being so lazy?”, this one’s for you. Today I’m joined by psychologist and coach Andrea Levinson to reframe that loaded word. We unpack why so many of us confuse productivity with worth, how our nervous system protects us by avoiding discomfort, and why procrastination often points to something precious we’re guarding - identity, energy, or safety. We trace the story from tribal safety (don’t get kicked out of...
Send us a text In this episode I sit down once again with the incredible Leanne Shelton, CEO of Human Edge AI Training. Leanne brings her copywriting background & deep understanding of AI together to talk about something every business owner needs to hear - how to maintain your brand voice in the age of AI-generated content.

Send us a text In this episode of Marketing Espresso, I’m joined by Amy Winner from Wheels Up Collective, and together we dive deep into one of the biggest challenges brands face right now - trust. We all know that trust in media and marketing has taken a hit. Between AI-generated content, polarised messaging, fake authenticity, and endless spin, audiences are increasingly sceptical about what they see online. At the same time, people are craving genuine human connection more than ever. So wh...
Send us a text If you’ve ever felt awkward saying no - to a client, a colleague, or even a friend, this episode will be a relief. I’m joined by communication specialist Colleen Kavanagh, who unpacks how to deliver a firm no without triggering defensiveness, people-pleasing, or creating more work for yourself. We dig into “can-do” language - a practical way of flipping the conversation from roadblocks to options. Instead of the reflex combo of “Unfortunately… I’m sorry… I can’t… due to…”, Coll...
Send us a text So many business owners see awards as nothing more than a shiny trophy or a pat on the back. But what if entering awards could actually be one of the smartest marketing moves you make this year? In this episode, I sit down with Heather Marano, who knows the awards space inside out. She explains why awards are far more than vanity metrics and how they can become a fast track to building credibility, visibility, and trust with your audience. We talk about how awards can open door...
Send us a text If you’ve ever boosted a post on a whim, tried a week of ads, sent one email and then decided the channel “doesn’t work”, this chat is for you. I sat down with strategist Simran Kaur to unpack why one-off marketing keeps stalling and what it actually takes to build momentum you can measure. We didn’t chase hacks. We talked about rhythm, small tests, learning loops and the unsexy truth that consistency beats clever every time. Simran and I started with the two mindsets that sink...
Send us a text In this episode I’m joined by marketing strategist TanIa Fielding (Little Luxe Marketing), whose career spans Nova, 3AW, Fairfax Media, the Canberra Times and WIN. Between us we’ve lived through marketing before social, watched the rise of digital, and now blend both every day. We dig into what many businesses are missing right now: traditional media still delivers when you pair it with smart digital execution. Think radio activations that feed email lists, local print that dri...
Send us a text In this episode of Marketing Espresso, I’m joined once again by Nicole Smith, founder of The Artisan Solutions, fractional COO and business systems strategist. Nicole and I often work alongside each other with clients, and this conversation dives deep into one of her favourite topics: why outsourcing expertise doesn’t mean outsourcing your understanding. It’s tempting as a business owner to just “handball” things off our plate, especially when we’re stretched thin and overwhelm...
Send us a text Verification on social media sounds like a badge of credibility, but is it really worth your money, data, or peace of mind? In this episode of Marketing Espresso, I unpack the truth about Meta and LinkedIn verification and why I personally won’t be handing over my cash or passport details anytime soon. Remember when the Instagram blue tick was a symbol of influence and credibility? It used to mean you’d built a large following and had a presence worth protecting. Fast forward t...
Send us a text Thought leadership has become a buzzword in marketing, but what does it really mean and how can businesses use it to their advantage?

We explore why so many businesses jump into tactics too quickly, the trap of chasing shiny marketing tools, and why slowing down to get clear on your goals and audience will always deliver better results. Quinn shares her experience working with brands...
Send us a text In this week’s Marketing Espresso, I’m diving into what makes advertising actually work — and yep, we’re using that Telstra ad as our case study. You know the one… catchy song, slightly annoying guy, and now, a bunch of versions popping up all over social media. But here’s the clever bit...Telstra didn’t just sit back and hope it went viral. They went all in, re-creating it with user-generated content and letting the internet do its thing. We’ll break down why it’s working — fr...

Send us a text This week’s episode was inspired by a DM that slid into my inbox: “Is long-form content still important?” And look, I get it. The internet is full of opinions — and half of them contradict each other. Once upon a time, we were all told to write 1,500-word blogs stuffed with keywords like it was our full-time job. Now? It’s all TikToks, AI, and short-form everything. So… do we just throw the blog out with the bathwater? Spoiler: it’s not that simple. (Of course it’s not.)...
Send us a text This week on Marketing Espresso, I sat down with the incredible Michelle J. Raymond - LinkedIn expert, bestselling author and B2B marketing powerhouse - to unpack a question I hear all the time: are LinkedIn company pages even worth the effort? Like many of you, I’ve always leaned heavily into personal brand content on LinkedIn. But Michelle completely shifted my perspective. She explains why ignoring your company page could be a missed opportunity, especially if you're serious...
Send us a text Let’s be honest… writing ad copy that actually converts? It’s one of those things no one really teaches you — and winging it on Meta Ads gets expensive real quick. This week on Marketing Espresso, I’m joined by the amazing Evelina - copywriter and email strategist for brands like Amazon, Luna & Sun, and a bunch of others you probably get emails from without even realising. We’re diving into the juicy stuff: What makes ad copy different from your everyday postsHow to write ...
Send us a text We’re all out here chasing leads and trying to crack the visibility code... But what if the biggest opportunity in your business is already on your books? This episode was sparked by a DM I got asking: “How do I market to my existing clients?” And honestly… what a bloody great question. Because the clients you’ve already got? They’re the ones most likely to buy again, refer you, and sing your praises. (If you’re doing it right, that is.) In this episode,...
