About this listen

In this episode of Business Brand Labs, John Carpenter sits down with Brian Butkowski, founder of Bomb Image and creator of Marketing Firepower, to talk about what real marketing looks like when you strip out the fluff.

Brian calls himself an anti-agency—because he’s not here to sell you complexity. He’s here to help small teams simplify their brand message, create content that actually connects, and use the tools they already have to build relationships that last.

They dive deep into:

  • Why consistency and storytelling beat “perfection” every time.
  • How email marketing can cut through digital noise.
  • Why your origin story is the most powerful marketing you’ll ever do.
  • The psychology behind “Show Your Work Wednesday” and building trust.
  • How analog tactics like direct mail and guerrilla marketing still work in a digital-first world.

If you’ve been overthinking your marketing or waiting for the “perfect plan,” this episode will remind you: clarity beats complexity every time.
