Ep 29: How are you staying relevant? with special guest Darla Powell

Damn Good Interior Designer

Listen up folks--we all have a love-hate relationship with social media right?

Yes we do! It is a changing animal, and if you don't keep up with it you may be missing out on amazing leads because you are not staying relevant in our industry. Liz is off handling projects and Cheryl seized the opportunity to speak with a pro podcaster and social media guru, Darla Powell of Wingnut Social. Darla was a police officer, turned interior designer, to now founder and director of her social media agency. Being well-versed in the design industry, Darla saw a need for a social media agency focused on marketing strategies and practices specifically for interior designers and architects.

If social media is not your strong suit--do not be afraid to hire outside help so you can focus on your strengths within your firm. And like you encourage your clients to TRUST THE PROCESS, you must be doing the same in your marketing efforts. Listen to Cheryl and Darla discuss the importance of strategy, challenges you will face, and how to utilize AI without losing your authenticity!
