Simplicity in Small Business Marketing | Convex Studio

Simplicity Isn’t Clicking Less. It’s Fixing Less.

We’ve been sold the idea that AI tools make content creation fast and simple. But too often, the reality is the opposite. What starts as a “plug-and-play” promise turns into hours of patching, editing, and re-checking.

Trying to DIY your marketing? You might be sending the wrong message. Your video doesn't need to be perfect — but it shouldn't look like this either.

Your Brand Is Only as Good as Your Worst Video

You worked hard to build a reputation. Word of mouth is decent. Your clients seem happy. But you post a video online — and something feels off. It’s grainy. The sound’s fuzzy.

It looks flashy, the agency swore it would “wow visitors,” but when you test it yourself, something feels off. Buttons aren’t clear. The contact form hides behind three clicks.
