About Me

 Hey there, I'm Tamara Collins, the brains behind Business Boldly. Juggling six kids, a supportive spouse, and my academic chops—a Master's in Business Administration with a marketing focus and a Bachelor's in organizational development—I've got a knack for making things work. 

My secret sauce? 

I craft marketing systems that are effective, simple, and smooth as butter. Think easy lead capture and follow-up without the headache. I am like that man behind the curtain who makes Oz look incredibly powerful. I love working in the background to make you and your business shine. 

My not-so-secret weapon? 

A fresh take on traditional marketing, thanks to my unique life experiences. I am a small-town girl from a blue-collar background. I started my education online, working as a bartender and raising our then-tiny kids. I loved working with smaller businesses and helping them get their promotions out (bars and contractors specifically). I was always looking for ways to make it easier and smoother and get the word out without putting even more on the owner's plate. They went into business to do what they love, not to market it. That was where I found my niche. 

In my Master's program, I took a digital marketing class and fell in love. I dove headfirst into learning everything I could about marketing for small businesses and automation. I wanted to bring my knowledge and skills of networking and connecting from my years as a bartender into the digital space. To help others because they are popular online and create a brand that people follow and want to know more about and support. I needed to learn how to market to others so they could focus on what they love. I do marketing so they can do what they do best and shine as an expert. I then began marketing for all sorts of businesses and minor services to help them automate their marketing and grow their brands without spending hours of their day in front of their laptop or networking meetings that feel like they go nowhere. 

I spent over a decade as the marketing director for a large construction company, creating and refining their marketing system, starting from simple, low-cost grassroots marketing all the way up to expensive automated systems and media buys. I've done it all. I took what I learned at each step and began to use it on other small businesses, and now, with close to 20 years under my belt and trial and error of dozens of systems and marketing methods, I have a system I love that works. 

If you're ready to improve your marketing, let's chat. I'll help you navigate the wild marketing world with a dash of wit and many practical action items (and be forewarned- maybe a healthy dose of swearing).
