Successful marketing is never just about tools or tactics. At its core, it is about people, relationships, and purpose. On the Women and Wealth podcast, Lorrie Thomas, CEO of Web Marketing Therapy and The Marketing Therapist®, sat down with host Regina McCann Hess to talk about how mindset and intention shape meaningful, sustainable marketing success.
With twenty years of leading our digital marketing agency, Lorrie has seen firsthand how powerful marketing becomes when businesses shift their thinking. Instead of treating marketing like an on-and-off switch, she encourages leaders to approach it as a long game rooted in education, communication, and service. When businesses focus on building relationships and empowering their audiences, clarity naturally follows. Decisions about what to prioritize, where to invest time, and how to enhance results become easier and more effective.
During the conversation, Lorrie shares key insights that drive her work with intentional leaders:
- Marketing is relationship building: Shifting away from a push-and-promote mindset creates space for ethical, human-centered marketing. Awareness, communication, connection, and service must work together to support trust and long-term relationships.
- Mindset influences stress or success: Many businesses silo marketing, operations, and admin, but these areas work best together. When marketing is seen as part of service and client experience, results become more consistent and sustainable.
- Every marketing puzzle is unique: Web Marketing Therapy uses a five-factor framework to diagnose and guide solutions. Instead of rigid services, our team offers customized support through optimization, management, training, and process development.
- Purpose-driven branding attracts the right clients: Lorrie’s Marketing Therapist® brand allows her to speak clearly, reduce stress, and naturally repel non-ideal audiences. She encourages leaders to voice their values so they can work with people and organizations that align with their approach.
Whether your business is new or established, these insights highlight a healthier and more effective approach to marketing rooted in understanding your audience and connecting with clarity and care.
