This essential guide offers a lifeline to local business owners facing the steep challenges of modern marketing, providing them with the strategies needed to thrive in today’s competitive landscape.

Climb is more than just a marketing manual; it’s a compelling narrative that follows Eva Marley as she undertakes the monumental task of revitalizing her inherited family store. Through Eva’s transformative journey, readers gain invaluable insights into the pivotal role local businesses play in enriching their communities and how thoughtful, strategic marketing can dramatically enhance their success.

Drawing from over a decade of firsthand experience in helping small businesses grow, LaDuke provides readers with an in-depth exploration of real-world marketing strategies. The book navigates through the common pitfalls that many local businesses encounter, equipping entrepreneurs with the knowledge to not only survive but flourish.

“This book encapsulates many of the lessons I’ve learned helping local businesses thrive in a local economy and guiding them through the ‘marketing wilderness’,” said Jeremy LaDuke. “It’s designed to help business owners understand the dynamics of their local markets and master the art of branding and marketing to elevate their presence and impact.”

LaDuke’s extensive background includes co-hosting Marketing Trailblazers: Fireside Chats with Trailblazing CMOs, and co-founding the Sky City Entrepreneur Center in Maryville, TN. His experiences have deeply informed the actionable advice provided in Climb, making it a must-read for any entrepreneur eager to push their business to new heights.

While Climb: The Risks and Rewards of Elevating Your Brand is available on Amazon, LaDuke encourages readers to purchase it at a local book store or find it on bookshop.org to support local businesses. Links and more info can be found at theclimb.guide
