Most small businesses think big brands win because of big budgets. They don't. They win because of strategy, positioning, and psychological hacks you can steal.

In this episode, Marissa breaks down the most powerful marketing tactics from viral content and shows you exactly how to apply them to your business, regardless of your budget.

  1. Why big brands sell feelings, not products (and how you can too)
  2. The power of product alignment and strategic partnerships
  3. Why placing competitors next to each other actually increases sales
  4. The truth about manufacturing vs. marketing in building a brand
  5. How to use the psychology of color to trigger the right emotions
