101 — Marketing Through Noise: Foundations, Community, and Smart Launching with Sasha Awwa
In this episode of The Unboxable Podcast, Alena Turley speaks with Miami-based marketing strategist Sasha Awwa, who helps entrepreneurs stop wasting money by returning to marketing foundations, optimizing leaks and gaps, and navigating an increasingly noisy, AI-amplified landscape. They discuss why clarity beats cleverness (including SEO and simple messaging), why social media and standard launch formulas don’t fit everyone, and how “failed” launches still produce valuable data. The conversation explores the renewed importance of trust, genuine connection, collaboration, and community-building—online and offline—alongside creative, low-budget strategies and partnerships. Sasha outlines her three-phase launch approach: foundations (goals, the four Ws, audience, landing pages, tech stack), marketing planning, and analytics/testing, and shares how she supports small businesses with end-to-end strategy.
