September Marketing Must: Spring into Smarter Marketing 🌸

The first day of spring is here, and it’s the perfect time to shake off winter and give your marketing a fresh start. With footy finals, R U OK? Day and a bunch of community events on the calendar, September’s buzzing with opportunities to connect. And here’s the good news—you don’t have to do it all yourself. AI can help take the heavy lifting out of the day-to-day stuff (think lead follow-ups, scheduling posts, even writing your next email). That way, you’ve got more time to focus on the big wins—like keeping customers happy and kicking your sales goals. With over 40% of Aussie SMEs already using AI, it’s not about “if” anymore—it’s about “how fast can you get on board?”
