Have you ever felt like you're just an ad person or content creator to your clients, rather than a strategic marketing partner? 



As a marketer, you want to be a valued partner in your client's business growth. However, the constant need to justify your work in order to maintain your seat at the table is a challenge.



This struggle, according to Stevie V Brown, CEO, and Marketing Systemizer at The Change Starter, stems from a fundamental issue: most businesses don't understand how marketing works. Without proper expectations and integration from the start, we're setting ourselves up for failure.



Stevie reveals her innovative "CARE Factor" framework to vet ideal clients and forge long-term partnerships built on commitment, accountability, realism, and engagement.
