The Difference Between Busy and Effective, with Kim Barker

This week on the Ways to Wealth Podcast, Charlie speaks to Kim Barker, founder of Full Stack Creative and a marketer with decades of experience across analytics, digital strategy, and website optimisation.Kim left employment last year to start a boutique agency and expected it would take years to move into fractional marketing leadership. It took months. Small and medium businesses kept coming to her with the same problem: they knew they needed marketing, they had pieces in place, but nobody was connecting the dots or telling them what to actually focus on first.This conversation is about the gap between doing marketing and doing the right marketing. Kim talks about a blog post that went viral, landed on the first page of search results, became the highest performing page on her website, and brought her zero leads. That one example opens up a bigger discussion about why being busy with content is not the same as being effective, why the shiny new platform is rarely the answer, and why the basics of knowing who you are talking to and what you want to achieve still matter more than any tool.Checkout every episode of the Ways to Wealth Podcast hereLearn more about Kim’s business, Full Stack Creative here#waystowealth #marketing #digitalmarketing #fractionalcmo #smallbusiness #nzbusiness #marketingstrategy #contentmarketing #entrepreneurship #seo #analytics #ai #wealthbuilding #startup
