About the Author
II'm Cinthia, the marketing strategist behind Boda Bliss. I work with creative and wedding businesses to figure out what's actually happening in their marketing, then build a clear marketing strategy and point you toward the right marketing tools to move it forward.
I write here for the same reason I do client work: something catches my attention, I get curious, and I go find out why. I love the research itself, and I love sharing what I find, especially when it turns into a quick, practical tip a small business owner can actually use.
