AMA Across Iowa - Clear Lake Luncheon

This presentation makes a bold promise - and while you won’t become a marketing expert overnight, you will leave with practical tools to make smarter, faster, and more confident marketing decisions. This session is built on 25 years of real-world experience, not theory, and it's designed specifically for small business owners navigating real challenges — from staffing and cash flow to growth, regulations, and everything in between. We'll look at how your day-to-day decisions are often shaped more by immediate concerns than your long-term brand strategy — and how to flip that. You don’t need a marketing degree to improve your impact. You just need clarity, consistency, and a framework that works for your business. If you’re ready to cut through the noise and focus on what really moves the needle, this presentation is for you.

Josh Fleming is VP of Marketing at Bank Iowa, where he leads an award-winning team that’s earned nearly 50 marketing honors and helped grow the bank’s assets by over 80% to more than $2 billion. Prior to banking, Josh worked in brand development and digital strategy at ad agencies and tech startups and taught digital marketing at Drake University. In 2020, he was named Marketing Executive of the Year by the American Marketing Association. Despite these achievements, Josh is just a humble middle-aged ginger who spends his free time writing screenplays and trying to keep up with his wife and their five children.
