Marketing can feel overwhelming. Where do you start? What strategies work best?

Think of it as a conversation, not a quiz. No pressure, no right or wrong answers — just a collaborative deep dive into your challenges and opportunities.

What Happens After Talk to Us

A CNA takes place after three key steps:

  1. You complete the “Talk to Us” form on Zoe’s website.
  2. A Zoe marketing strategist follows up within 1-2 business days with a welcome email, video, and quick survey.
  3. You schedule your CNA call at a convenient time.

What to expect in your CNA call:

  • A 30-60 minute conversation (video or phone) that fits your schedule.
  • A relaxed, insightful chat — no sales pressure.
  • A deep dive into your business, audience and marketing needs.

Preparing for your CNA helps maximize the conversation and clarify your goals. It’s not homework — but it helps!

Zoe provides the questions in advance, so you can think through your responses.

Some of the key questions include:

  • Tell us about your business: Website, social presence, services?
  • What are your top business priorities? What’s working? Where do you need growth?
  • What makes your company unique? How do you stand out from competitors?
  • Who’s your ideal customer? Age, income, location, interests.
  • What marketing have you tried before? What worked — and what didn’t?
  • How do you define success? What metrics matter to you?
  • Who makes marketing decisions in your company? What’s the approval process?
