Marketing without Social Media with Astrid Bracke [192]

If you've been frustrated with social media recently, you may have found yourself wondering "Is there another way?" In this episode Alice speaks with guest Astrid Bracke about ways to move your business away from social media... but what instead? We talk about making space to create in a way you enjoy, using your "content calories" wisely and being playful with alternatives. Astrid is a mentor for small businesses, supporting them to build a slower, gentler and more profitable business. She's on a mission to change how we feel, think and talk about business, and about kicking the hustle and productivity culture to the curb. Astrid supports small business owners and freelancers through 1:1 mentoring, workshops and her writing. She loves big mugs of strong milky tea, always carries a book and takes care of 120+ houseplants.
