The latest episode of Marketing with Purpose, features none other than Chris West, President of West Contracting. ️
Chris and his team spent the past year in a cycle of change, reevaluating their internal structure, figuring out what works and what doesn't, and charting their course for the future.
As part of their marketing team, it's been awesome to be a part of the journey!
Today we’ll dig into:
- How they are continuing to strengthen company culture through recent changes but keeping what works, including their employees, who have an average tenure of over 10 years!
- What it's like working in a family business (Chris is the 3rd generation to manage West Contracting) and how they transitioned from each generation to keep the company strong.
- Tap into Chris's never-give-up attitude. Even if you're a steadfast procrastinator like him, he's got some wisdom to share on how to still get things done and find success.
We've been lucky enough to get to work with Chris for many years now and are proud to share his story through the West Contracting marketing. Now, we're excited to get to share it with you in this episode!

SEO Fundamentals & 2024 Forecast With Guest Nina Gibson
Monica is a website builder by trade…you’ve probably figured that out by now.
But a website that can’t be found is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
Which makes her a student of SEO…FOREVER. Because it changes faster than a Nascar pit crew.
And it’s not one dimensional either, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is mutli-faceted. The MayeCreate team’s responsibility is to build a website Google can be friends with. Which is a huge part of the SEO pie. But what about all the other things?
That’s where Nina Gibson comes in. She’s done SEO for some big brands…Yankee Candle, Caboodles, Orvis, National Geographic to name a few.
Monica got to pick her brain in this episode and ask questions like:
- How does SEO work?
- What common mistakes do we need to avoid?
- What changes is Google making right now that we need to know about?
- How is AI affecting SEO?
She took a lot of notes from this episode…so grab a pen and paper (or just download the transcript) and let’s get to some SEO business!
