08: Empathize It: Jenn Herman: Instagram, Emotional Marketing and Being Human on Social


Listen Later

Emotional marketing is hard to get right, especially on Instagram. 
When I think about Instagram marketing and getting it right, who else could I ask but the famous Jenn Herman?!
After speaking to Katie Clift, in episode 7, about PR and Marketing in a digital world, I thought Jenn would be a perfect guest to drill down into the topic of emotional marketing, specifically Instagram. In this episode, Jenn and I cover a ton of topics and get a bit sidetracked when we learn about the official 'death' of Google Plus. 
Honestly, the entire episode I was a bit 'star struck' since Jenn has been one of my go-to gals for everything Instagram. Her live content and extremely engaging posts really show her true value. 
A Bit About the Guest

Since starting Jenn’s Trends in 2013, she's become a globally recognized expert in Instagram marketing and the forefront blogger on Instagram marketing. Her blog has won the prestigious award of being a Top 10 Social Media Blog three years in a row: 2014, 2015, and 2016. Jenn is also the author of The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Instagram.
 
Besides being an amazing blogger, Jenn is a top tiered speaker at multiple social media conferences and also teaches business owners the value of Instagram and social media to grow their business. Her content has been featured in various media and publications including major media articles, radio interviews, podcasts, magazines, and guest blogs. I
One of the many reasons I follow Jenn is because her blog posts focus on bringing relevant social media and business trends and discuss their applications, implications, and benefits. She writes from her unique perspective about the things she enjoys and uses regularly. Her writing style is casual and detailed.
