Most "growth strategy" is just expensive busywork.
I've sat in enough founder meetings to see the pattern: teams running paid media, content, and SEO in parallel — with no shared point of view on what the brand is actually saying or why anyone should care.
The channels aren't the problem. The absence of a strategy above them is.
Before you spend another dollar on ads or another hour on content, answer three questions:
What's the one thing you want to be known for? Not five things. One.
Who specifically is this for — and what do they believe right now that you need to shift?
What's the proof? Not claims. Evidence.
If you can't answer these in two sentences each, no amount of media spend or content volume will fix it. You'll just be paying to amplify confusion faster.
This is the gap I work in — sitting above execution, helping founders get clear before they scale. Happy to talk through it if you're in that spot right now.
