Pam Brook went from a dentist to the co-founder of award winning food manufacturer Brookfarm, which she established near Byron Bay with her husband Martin (who was an ex-film producer!) in 1999. Brookfarm is now Australia’s leading producer of gourmet macadamia products.
What struck me most about Pam when I met her was her eclectic mix of solid business acumen, her passion for what she does and her laid-back style.
Listen in as we cover some serious marketing ground including:
- How Pam and her hubby are building an empire in their family-run, award-winning macadamia farm Brookfarm
- Pam’s take on effective networking, what that means and how to do it
- Pam’s strategy for dealing with the stress of a growing business
- Brookfarm’s focus on sustainable farming practices and the connection between food and the land it comes from
But that’s not all. In this episode of your favourite marketing podcast:
- My low cost marketing idea in What Have You Got To Lose? will literally make you and your customers go WOW!
- And we go back into the SBBM vault, revisiting a recent episode with the founder of a tiny house concept called Shacky.
As per usual, there’s marketing gold dripping from the ceiling over at Small Business Big Marketing’s HQ … So let’s get right in.
