If 2025 has taught us anything, it’s that even in volatile years, business goes on. People still buy. Even when certain months bring friction and drooping conversion rates, there’s still a conversion rate. In September of this year, Strong Brand Social had its biggest revenue month in over five years of business – yes, even in 2025’s chaos!

Marketing in 2025 has brought more friction than ever. All year, small business owners, digital marketers, and entrepreneurs have been feeling the weight of increasing platform instability, decreasing consumer trust, AI slop clogging up feeds, and increased ad costs. 

Best friends and moms grew their crystal shop, Moon & Stone, from chaos to clarity—boosting Instagram to 25K+, 244% sales growth, and $50K months with Strong Brand Social.

Southern food blogger Julie Pollitt used The S3 System™ to recover from an algorithm crash—earning 5,200% Instagram growth, stable traffic, and a system that lasts.

If you’re a marketer, this is for you.
