The Franchise Playbook Won’t Save You: Why Local Growth Is On YOU

Spoiler alert: Corporate isn’t coming to rescue your slow sales.

In this episode of The Growth Hack: Franchise Marketing Unleashed, Marcus Slater (founder of AdCloud) and creative director Mckenzie rip the band-aid off a hard franchise truth: the HQ playbook might give you pretty posts and fancy logos, but it’s NOT a real growth strategy.

If you’re blindly posting what corporate sends and wondering why your books are still empty... you need to hear this.

🔥 What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why franchise marketing playbooks are a starting point, not a strategy
• How copy-paste content is killing your local reach
• The one thing Google (and your customers) hate about cookie-cutter sites
• How to actually localize your marketing without getting yelled at by brand police
• Why demographic data should dictate your marketing—not your personal opinion
• What to do today if you’re realizing that "waiting for corporate" isn’t a growth plan

Franchise ownership isn’t a set-it-and-forget-it game. Growth happens when you stop playing it safe and start owning your market like a boss.
