Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in advertising services but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Patrick Lissner, CEO of 1440 Marketing and Consulting, LLC, located in Tyler, TX, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
14Forty Marketing and Consulting. We are a full-service marketing and consulting firm that formed out the pains we felt in our industry. There was no clear ROI, people were consistently underserved, and it was not a true partnership. We are different than most agencies in that we hand-select our clients (as they do us), and we believe words are your rocket fuel for a successful marketing strategy. We have been fully certified as a StoryBrand agency where we always keep the customer the hero and you as the guide, always available to help solve their problems. At 14Forty, we are compelled that all good businesses deserve every opportunity to thrive and be known.
Tell us about yourself
Throughout my career, what has driven and still drives me today is to help people see the potential in themselves for success and partner/come alongside them and see what was seemingly impossible become a reality. We are all just one step away from meeting our goals.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Bringing value and esteem to our employees and trusted client partners. People still buy from people no matter how digital our age may become. When you can authentically be yourself, and put others' needs above your own, then together, you become a wave of success where all rising tides rise together.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
How to keep all of the plates spinning. It is a juggling act every day - but with the right team, which we have at 14Forty, everyone does their part, and we rise and fall together.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Have a clear, measurable goal(s).
- Are you valuing people over profit, and are you truly helping solve a problem?
- Never sacrifice culture to get something done.
