Ever wondered how specializing in a particular niche can skyrocket your agency's growth? 

This episode of The Vertical Go-To-Market Podcast promises answers, sharing a testament of what can happen when you stop wondering, and start wandering towards the path of finding the right vertical for your business– and finding success along the way!

The star of our story today is Holley Miller, a southern belle turned Bay Area influencer and Founder of Grey Matter Marketing. She's the catalyst behind a category design firm that's revolutionizing healthcare marketing in the life sciences industry. Her mission: to empower medical device start-ups with robust marketing plans that promise substantial ROI.

Holley's journey to this unique vertical and the foundation of her agency was anything but straightforward. She swapped law school for advertising after college, where she found herself promoting cigarettes, a less than gratifying venture. But fate had a different plan, serving her a career detour into the transformative world of medical devices.

Intrigued by the impact of surgical robotics, she was drawn into the medical device industry. This fascination eventually fueled the birth of Grey Matter Marketing.

Now, 15 years on, Grey Matter Marketing is a boutique powerhouse making waves in healthcare. Her firm has etched a solid niche in life sciences, serving mainly medical device companies. More strategic partners than traditional marketers, they engage deeply with their clients.

• Grey Matter Marketing's birth and evolution.
• The learning curves and challenges of a generalist agency.
