    Aug 22 2025

    You’ve got client wins, killer results, and happy customers but no case studies to prove it. Why? Because you're too busy, you hate bragging, and you’ve convinced yourself it's a “later” problem. Spoiler: it’s not.

    Christopher Tompkins tackles one of marketing’s least sexy but most essential tools, the case study; and shows you how to make them easier, faster, and actually useful. No more soul-sucking wrap-up reports or chasing data from 6 months ago.

    You’ll learn why real-time goal-setting is the only way to build case studies that close deals, what KPIs you should be tracking starting today, and how to turn weekly client updates into marketing ammo that actually converts.

    This isn’t just about bragging rights, it’s about building proof, trust, and revenue. If you’ve been avoiding your case study backlog, this is your reality check (and your new strategy).

    What’s Inside:

    • The real reason you never finish your case studies (and how to fix it)
    • Why building proof points forward is the smarter move
    • A weekly reporting system that turns data into sales tools

  • Episode 09: Q4 Marketing Playbook: Organize Your Strategy Before It’s Too Late
    Aug 8 2025

    If you think dumping your to-do list into ChatGPT counts as a marketing plan, this episode’s about to call you out.

    Christopher is back with a no-fluff walkthrough on how to actually organize your fall marketing without losing your mind, your momentum, or your messaging.

    In this episode, he breaks down the essential building blocks of a smart Q4 marketing plan, including how to align objectives with deliverables, structure content across channels, and get your team (or solo brain) out of reactive chaos mode. If you've ever scrambled to post about a new award, last-minute campaign, or your CEO’s “brilliant” idea, this one's for you.

    You’ll learn how to create a planning system that holds up under pressure, supports long-term strategy, and doesn’t crumble when a client throws a curveball at 4 p.m. on a Friday.

    Plus: how to weigh your audiences, stretch your content further, and use AI after you think, not before.

    What’s Inside:

    • Why dumping ideas into AI is not a strategy
    • The 4 elements every smart campaign map should include
    • How to budget time, not just dollars
    • The real reason your social engagement is tanking
    • Why a whiteboard and a Google Sheet still beat most apps

    From the Episode: Marketing without a plan isn’t brave. It’s budget sabotage. If you’re still stuck in “we’ll figure it out next month” mode, this is your wake-up call.
