E. 98: Justina Cerra Lucas Breaks Down What Marketing Really Is and What It Isn't

Doing marketing can really suck.

It can suck your time. It can suck your energy. And a lot of marketing out there well, kind of sucks.

Which is where today’s badass business owner comes in. 

Justina Cerra Lucas is the founder of 218 Creative, where she helps creatives and entrepreneurs book more clients with marketing that doesn’t suck.

Justina doesn’t believe that there’s a one-size-fits-all solution to your marketing, but she also believes that it doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming. In fact, she says over-complicating it is one way that leads to sucky marketing.

We’re going to chat about what it looks like to create a marketing plan that doesn’t suck, especially for creatives, agencies, and people who are out there selling branding and marketing, but just can’t do it for themselves.

Justina Cerra Lucas is a marketing professional by day and cat mom by night. With over a decade of experience in marketing across industries ranging from nonprofit to Hollywood entertainment and everywhere in between, she found that her favorite people to work with are other creative small business owners. She's been around long enough to bring thoughtful strategy to the table and knows that marketing doesn't necessarily have to be complicated in order for it to be successful. Empowering others to be able to carry out their marketing confidently is her jam.
