TIKI Talk Episode 54 is LIVE!

Episode 54 features David Forman of Orlando’s Clarity Creative! David has been coding most of his life, even as a middle schooler in the pre-Google days, and started Clarity Creative, a digital marketing agency, as a nights-and-weekends side-project that over time grew into his full time gig.

David left a comfy corporate job behind him to pursue Clarity, and aims to use his knowledge and experience to help small- and mid-sized businesses grow through optimizing their digital marketing strategy.

Join David and Shane as they discuss how David got his start in the industry, forming a business with a complementary personality and long-time friend, David’s love of creating something out of nothing, websites and marketing changing over the years and decades, websites as a vehicle for trust, optimizing SEO, working backwards from your goals, ranking on Google, tools to get you moving in the right direction, what makes a good SEO strategy, the essential ingredients for digital marketing, iterating and experimenting, and his opinions on AI and how it affects his field.

Definitely reach out to David and Clarity for all things digital marketing; they love nerding out and David is the man and knows his stuff!

Enjoy!
