A Defining Moment: From Corporate to Entrepreneurial Success

Keitha’s journey into marketing began with a surprising realization during her time as a corporate leader. While identifying the traits of an ideal marketing leader, she discovered that the description perfectly matched her strengths and passions.

“I was at a crossroads, having achieved my career goal as a Vice President in the financial sector,” Keitha shares. “But I felt drawn to explore marketing more deeply, to understand what makes people say ‘yes.’ That led me to the fascinating world of neuromarketing.”

What started as a quest for understanding buyer psychology soon became consulting for small businesses and startups. Encouraged by the results her clients achieved, Keitha built her business, helping entrepreneurs grow their brands and achieve measurable success.

AIM: Marketing Pillars for Business Success

Keitha developed a powerful framework called AIM—Audience, Ideal Offer, Message—represents three foundational pillars that Keitha believes are essential for entrepreneurs to align their goals with impactful marketing strategies for success.

  • Audience: Know who you are meant to serve. Your ideal client isn’t just a demographic but a group with specific challenges and dreams. Deeply understanding them is key.
  • Ideal Offer: Create irresistible solutions tailored to your audience’s needs. The best offers solve specific problems and deliver real results.
  • Message: Craft a narrative that evokes emotion, builds trust, and inspires action. Your story and voice are your superpowers in connecting with your audience.

“AIM high and make it count,” Keitha advises. “Success is about connecting and serving with purpose.”

Empowering Women Entrepreneurs

For Keitha, the most rewarding part of her work is seeing her clients implement recommendations and achieve results. “Helping others see their potential and watching their goals come to life energizes me,” she shares.

However, as a solopreneur, she acknowledges the challenges of balancing multiple roles—CEO, CFO, CMO, and more—while maintaining work-life balance. Despite these challenges, Keitha remains committed to scaling her impact.

“I aim to empower 10,000+ entrepreneurs to master the art and science of influencing buyer decisions and generating consistent cash flow,” she says.

The IAW Connection

IAW has been instrumental in Keitha’s entrepreneurial journey.

“IAW has increased the visibility of my business and expanded my network,” Keitha shares. “Participating in the Influencer program has elevated my personal brand, and the community of advocates within IAW is invaluable.”
