Do Less Marketing

Do Less Marketing
Podcast Description
Do Less Marketing is a podcast that cuts through the noise to help business owners and teams find clarity.
This isn’t another jargony marketing podcast telling you to ”do all the things.”
Instead, host Brittany Downey shares practical insights and down-to-earth conversations with guests who’ve been figuring out what matters to them in their business growth.
Not by following some magic formula or the latest marketing hack, but by getting intentional about what truly moves their business forward.
Whether you’re a solopreneur feeling scattered across too many channels, a nonprofit trying to maximize limited resources, or a small marketing team drowning in endless tasks, this podcast offers a refreshing perspective: it’s possible to grow your business with less marketing, done well.
In this podcast, you’ll hear from other entrepreneurs and marketers who have:
→ Found the marketing activities that truly matter for their business
→ Leaned into the power of strengths (and doing what they enjoy)
→ Broken marketing “rules,” yet still continue to grow
→ Focused on relationship over reach
→ Defined growth and success in their own terms.
Take what resonates. Leave the rest.
And join us as we discover how to cut the marketing clutter and focus on what actually works — for your goals, for your team, and for your life.

It’s one thing to make a great product. It’s another to stick it out when things get tough — and to build a culture and brand people want to be part of.
Jackie Wachter is the co-founder of FOUNT, a company known for fine leather bags made to be by your side for years. She shares the journey from selling at a flea market to national TV to opening five locations in three states.
In this conversation, Jackie reflects on the power of listening to customers and staying true to your brand. She talks honestly about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship and what it looks like to push through setbacks.
We also get into what drives sales and growth and how she’s working to build a team culture that’s healthy and fun, even as they scale.
It’s a candid look at the uphill work of building a business — and why presence and people are at the center of it all.
