Ditched hustle culture

We ditched hustle culture and changed our marketing results

Behind The Scenes

June 2, 2025

POST WRITTEN BY:

Once upon a time, hustle culture was the only language we knew.

Late nights. A million tabs open. No boundaries. We were doing it all… and still feeling like we were falling short.

It looked like success on the surface—but underneath?

💔 We were overwhelmed

💔 Our creativity suffered

💔 And our clients weren’t getting the best of us—they were getting the leftovers

That was our turning point. We didn’t just want better marketing strategies. We wanted a better way to run a business. One that actually supported long-term growth—for us, and for the people we serve.

We knew it was time to ditch the hustle culture.

🔁 What Burnout Looks Like (Especially in Marketing)

For service-based pros, burnout doesn’t always look like breakdowns. It looks like:

⚠ Saying yes when you don’t have capacity

⚠ Posting content just to keep up

⚠ Doing work you’ve outgrown because “it’s easy money”

⚠ Constantly being “on,” but never feeling truly connected

We’ve been there. And we know how damaging it is, not just for you, but for your clients and your brand long-term.

💘 How We Rebuilt Around Balance

We didn’t just set better boundaries—we redesigned the entire way we work.

✔️ Retainers built around real capacity

✔️ White space in the calendar for creativity and strategy

✔️ Team workflows that centre wellbeing

✔️ Clients who trust us enough to follow a slower, smarter path

“Our approach ditched hustle culture for harmony. And it works.”
