In this episode of Imperfect Marketing, host Kendra Corman sits down with Audrey “Tech Diva” Wiggins—an early tech adopter with deep marketing instincts—to talk about how entrepreneurs can use technology without losing the human touch.

Audrey shares how her love of innovation started long before today’s tools, and how business owners can stay focused, credible, and authentic while navigating constant change. We discuss:

The Tech + Human Balance in Modern Marketing

Why you should evaluate what you’re already using before chasing the “next shiny thing”
How to keep the “human factor” front and center through messaging and real customer access
Why customer service is still a core marketing strategy—inside companies and out

How to Avoid Getting Overwhelmed by Trends

The “pick 1–2 things and work them hard” approach (then automate as you grow)
Why choosing platforms you actually enjoy helps you stay consistent and authentic
When to delegate to tech vs. when it’s time to bring in a VA or support team

A Real Transformation Example

The “Frankenstein website” problem: patchwork sites that look old, cluttered, and confusing
Why a modern website isn’t just prettier—it’s functional, cleaner, and improves the customer journey
The importance of mobile-friendly design (because your clients live on their phones)

Branding Mistakes That Quietly Cost You Business

Why using Gmail/Yahoo/AOL for a business email hurts credibility—and what to do instead
How a clean email signature supports your brand without being “chunky” or overwhelming
The self-promotion gap: why many entrepreneurs hesitate to post their own content (even when their audience is already engaged)

A Hard Marketing Lesson Learned

How choosing the wrong advertising channel can waste money fast
Why “liking the salesperson” isn’t a strategy—knowing your market and ROI is
When advertising does make sense without ROI: “passion investments” that support causes you care about

If you’ve ever felt torn between keeping up with tech and staying authentic—or you’ve been tempted by marketing opportunities that don’t actually match your audience—this episode will give you a sharper, calmer way forward.
