"Your customer is the hero not your product. The most effective marketing tells their story, not yours. When you lead with empathy and deeply understand their challenges, desires, and identities, you create content that makes them feel seen. That’s what earns attention, trust, and loyalty especially in a world flooded with generic messaging. Great marketing reflects the people it’s for.” - Melissa Moody, Founder of Wednesday Women How do you build a brand that truly resonates in today’s market?
