If the money you’re spending on marketing isn’t coming back to the business, it’s not working.

In this episode, Nathan Rigney sits down with marketing strategist Melissa J. Scott from Divine Creative Agency, to cut through the hype and talk about what actually drives results in marketing - and why so many businesses feel burned after spending thousands on ads, content, and “the next big thing”.

We cover:

• Why marketing without strategy fails
• The biggest mistakes business owners make with ads and content
• Why connection still beats clever tactics and AI
• How to think about marketing as an investment, not an expense

If you’ve ever wondered why your marketing isn’t delivering a return, this conversation will help you rethink how you approach it.
