Collectively is a podcast about building better businesses, and the journey all of us as business owners and entrepreneurs have along the way. In here, we share our experiences of building our own purpose-led businesses and the trials and tribulations, actions and results of our clients, as well as some of the most memorable and successful ethical and sustainable brands we admire. As two Marketers with over 40 years experience between us, we chat about the marketing methods and mindsets that really move the dial for small-to-medium sized businesses, and how by working in collaboration with others, you can build a successful business and market it in a way that feels aligned, authentic and appealing for you and all your audiences!
Collectively, is a podcast by The Marketing Collective Founder, Marijke Timmers and Mark My Words Founder, Monica Shepherd.
