https://www.findabledigitalmarketing.com/newsletter/In this episode, I sit down with Daniela Furtado from Findable Digital Marketing to discuss why most interior designers aren't seeing results from their social media efforts. Daniela reveals why campaign marketing outperforms "always on" posting, explains the limitations of Instagram, and shares practical strategies for creating marketing that actually converts. If you're tired of posting consistently without seeing business results, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on digital marketing for design professionals.

Hope you enjoy the episode
