How a B-Corp Marketing Agency Builds a Better Future – The Journey of Kim Fuller (B-Corp Series)

Business owners are told we can’t have it all.

You can’t give back and increase your profits.

You can’t devote your attention to your customers and take good care of your employees.

You can’t have a socially-driven business that actually makes good money.

Right?

Wrong.

The truth is: your business can do it all. You can be a force for good and still grow your profits.

All it takes is a little extra strategy and dedication.

No one knows that better than Kim Fuller, a social entrepreneur who made it her mission to work exclusively with clients who are making a positive difference in the world.

In our chat today, Kim talks about her journey as a business owner, how she infuses social impact into every aspect of her work, and what it took to improve her company’s revenue by 175%.

You’ll learn the importance of creating a bottom-up budget, why it’s crucial to get your team inspired by your goals, and what it takes to become B-corp certified.
