The Marketing Truth Every Startup Doc Needs to Hear | Josh Scott of Studio 8E8 and Dr. Toni of Bloom Dental Co.

In this episode, Ashley sits down with Josh Scott, founder of Studio 8E8, and Dr. Toni Torres of Bloom Dental Co. for one of the most practical and inspiring branding and marketing conversations we have ever had on this podcast. From building a brand before you have a lease to finding your story when you think you don't have one, this episode is the conversation every startup doc needs before they open their doors.

What You'll Learn:

Your Story Is Already There: Josh breaks down why every doctor has a story worth telling and how Studio 8E8's process pulls it out of you even when you think you are just a normal dentist with nothing special to say.

Brand Versus Business: Should your practice be able to exist without you? Ashley, Toni, and Josh explore why building around your values instead of just your face is one of the most important decisions you will make as a founder.

Start Before You're Ready: Dr. Toni reached out to Studio 8E8 before she had a location, a loan, or a lease signed. Her first community marketing event happened before she even broke ground and patients are still walking in a year later because of it.

Marketing Is Momentum: Josh explains why startup docs should be leaning into hustle and energy right now and exactly when to start building that momentum before you ever open your doors.

Story Driven Creative Meets Performance Marketing: Josh shares how Studio 8E8 has evolved from a pure creative agency into a full branding and marketing partner and why combining storytelling with SEO, digital ads, and social media is the most predictable way to grow a practice.

The Discovery Call Decoded: Josh walks through exactly what to expect when you reach out to Studio 8E8, from the first 45 minute discovery call to the packages available and how they customize everything around where you are in your startup journey.
