Hey, I’m Sydney, and I’ve been helping local businesses grow online since 2015. I’ve managed the marketing for restaurants, pest control, tree care, retail stores, real estate, waste management, and more. In 2021 alone, I managed 22 social media accounts - publishing 2,297 posts garnering 2 million+ impressions and 125K+ content engagements.

I love local businesses and come from a family of local business owners. I know you have a big heart for your community and you work hard to serve your customers well. It’s my mission to help local businesses stand out online and thrive. 

When the pandemic struck in 2020, local businesses were hit hard. My clients had a marketing system in place that created an engaged audience online, and because of that not one of them had to let me go and they survived the storm. That is the power of a marketing system that converts, and I want to teach that system to you. I hope we get to work together to grow your mighty local business.

I've always struggled with knowing what to put on social media that is valuable to my followers. I've spent money on other courses that did not help me in figuring out what content I should be creating. The content buckets that Sydney taught broke it down into a very easy step-by-step system! Now I am easily able to create content for my social media and I have a list of topics to use!

Sydney is incredible! She's professional, but also very down to earth and fun! Her insight and expertise in social media is unbelievable. She knew exactly what was needed for me to step up my social game. From branding to content to implementation strategies, she covers it all! Her timely response to any questions was also impeccable. Sydney is also super patient and knowledgeable. I could go on for hours about how great Sydney and her program are, but I'll leave it to this...You will NOT be disappointed!

You’ll have access to the course materials as long as Marathon Marketing & Branding exists (and we plan on that being a LONG time). Plus as marketing continues to change and evolve..because you know it will, we’ll update course content and alert you. You’ll be a part of our family for life!

How long will I have access to the course materials?

You could wait to outsource, but if your marketing isn’t helping your business grow then let’s fix that now. You may decide to outsource in the future, but it’s also empowering to understand how marketing works and how to get results.

Should I just wait until I have enough money to outsource my marketing?

You’ll have the opportunity to submit your questions through a Google form each week prior to the support call. If you’re unable to attend, a recording will be emailed after the call along with the questions that were answered on it.

what if I can't make a support call?

You can anticipate setting aside 3-5 hours per week. However, this is a self-paced course, so you can work through the videos at your own pace. If you have a heavy week and can’t get to the content one week, you can dedicate more time to it the next week.

How much time should i anticipate committing each week?

You have questions. I have answers.

Use the same templates that I do to keep my marketing and my clients’ marketing organized and streamlined. Templates include a content calendar, social planner, and marketing plan outline.
