Do Less Marketing

About Do Less Marketing

Do Less Marketing is a podcast that cuts through the noise to help business owners and teams find clarity. This isn’t another jargony marketing podcast telling you to ”do all the things.” Instead, host Brittany Downey shares practical insights and down-to-earth conversations with guests who’ve been figuring out what matters to them in their business growth. Not by following some magic formula or the latest marketing hack, but by getting intentional about what truly moves their business forward. Whether you’re a solopreneur feeling scattered across too many channels, a nonprofit trying to maximize limited resources, or a small marketing team drowning in endless tasks, this podcast offers a refreshing perspective: it’s possible to grow your business with less marketing, done well. In this podcast, you’ll hear from other entrepreneurs and marketers who have: → Found the marketing activities that truly matter for their business → Leaned into the power of strengths (and doing what they enjoy) → Broken marketing “rules,” yet still continue to grow → Focused on relationship over reach → Defined growth and success in their own terms. Take what resonates. Leave the rest. And join us as we discover how to cut the marketing clutter and focus on what actually works — for your goals, for your team, and for your life.

   Is Social Media Worth It for Small Businesses? (Even the “Boring” Ones) — with Chase Pickett

   You can spend a year and a lot of money committing to a message before you find out if it's connecting. Chase Pickett is the co-founder and CEO of Precision Social, a Chicago social media agency. He believes community building is the most sustainable way to market a business. We dig into what social media can tell you that a brainstorm session can't, and the one belief Chase says you need before you post anything at all. He also shares what his team learned from working with window washers and HVAC companies, how little gear it takes to start, and the move he makes once a post starts doing well. If you'd rather know what's working before you spend big on it, this one's for you.

   Marketing in Ten Minutes a Day (Zero Billboards) — with Dr. Phil Boucher

   What if the marketing for your business had to fit in ten minutes a day? Dr. Phil Boucher is a pediatrician in Lincoln, Nebraska, and a self-described multi-passionate entrepreneur. He runs Frontier Pediatric Care, a direct primary care practice, and he helps other private practice owners get in front of their ideal new patients who desperately need their help. We get into why he's happy to reach a smaller slice of his audience on purpose. Dr. Boucher shares how he finds where his ideal patients already spend time and connects there. We also talk about what it looks like to build community connections by supporting the great work others are already doing. And we dig into what he leans on instead of fake urgency or scarcity to grow his practice. Plus, he shares how he teaches other practice owners to fit their marketing into ten minutes a day. If you're looking for ways to share your expertise and connect with more people while still giving your core work the care it deserves, this one's for you. --- Dr. Boucher's Practice: https://frontierpediatric.care/ Dr. Boucher's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philbouchermd/ Dear Parents Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dear-parents-with-phil-boucher-m-d/id1868912952 Private Practice Matters (Substack + podcast): https://philboucher.substack.com/ Brittany's Website: https://downeystrategy.com/ Brittany's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittany-downey/

   3 Common Marketing Blockers (and How To Get Unstuck) — a Solo Episode

   What's keeping your marketing stuck? More often than not, it isn't your strategy. It's psychology. As marketers, we think a lot about the psychology of buying. We rarely turn that same lens on ourselves when we're trying to get things done. In this solo episode, I dig into three of the most common marketing blockers I see, both in my own work and in the work of the people I've partnered with. I share the tiny step that got this podcast off the ground, and the email idea I was sure was as minimal as it gets (it wasn't). I also get into the sneaky side of a commitment to quality, and why the plan that looks best on paper is often the first thing to fall off when life gets busy. Each blocker comes with a few questions you can ask yourself to get moving again. If your marketing momentum is gone and you can't quite put your finger on why, this one's for you.
