Pushing Outside The Box To Thrive With Hollie Hoadley
“What is it about you and your business that you have set out to say ‘I want to be remembered for this’?”
- Hollie Hoadley
8 year ago, Hollie Hoadley was an Executive Assistant with a side hustle. Today, she runs Creative Solutions, a thriving six-figure marketing agency that delivers high-performing strategies that keep her clients salivating for more!
Hollie didn’t want to create a b2b or b2c business — instead, she built a business that she considers human-to-human.
“When it comes to truly niching down to a specific market, absolutely not. I’ll never do it,” Hollie says. “When you really think about it, there’s a whole bunch of humans behind your business — and there’s a whole bunch of humans you’re trying to sell to. They have a need, you happen to have the solution. All you have to do is pair it up!”
In this episode of the Road to Seven podcast, you’ll discover:
How Hollie moved from EA to consultant to agency owner — and the challenges she faced along the way
The potential danger of pigeon-holing yourself too strictly (no matter what your business coach says)
How to deal with customers who won’t pay for services delivered by your team, rather than you
About Hollie Hoadley: Over the past 7 years, Hollie has built Creative Solutions to a six-figure marketing agency by bridging the gap between strategy and fulfillment in the world of marketing. She is a dad-joke-loving, 90s hip-hop-listening, self-proclaimed hustler with a huge heart and a work ethic to match.
