Episode The Truth About ROI: Dave Valentine on Ethical Marketing, Scalable Growth & High-Impact Ad Strategies
In this episode of Amazing Authorities, host Mitch Carson sits down with Dave Valentine — global agency founder, marketing strategist, and CEO of Finch, a firm serving clients from Fortune 500 brands and professional sports teams to small businesses with limited digital ad budgets. Managing teams across the U.S., Europe, and APAC, Dave has built a reputation for delivering transparent, measurable ROI in an industry crowded with vague promises and inflated metrics.
Dave breaks down what’s actually working in digital marketing today — from TikTok leads that convert into six-figure contracts, to YouTube SEO hacks that supercharge organic growth, to a sales process that wins trust by disqualifying more than half of incoming prospects. His data-driven, ethical, and human-centered approach reshapes how companies think about advertising, content, and long-term credibility.
