Digital Hive Podcast

At the start of any new year or quarter, we all love to make a plan or make decisions on how we’re going to do our marketing, but making it actionable and sustainable is how you’ll actually make real progress. A marketing action plan is different to a strategy or an approach, because it’s the specific actions you plan to take in the near future.

What does YOUR marketing need?

At the start of every year, I like to set a bit of a focus. I also do this monthly most of the time, but the year is more an overarching one. I’m not totally one for resolutions, but I love to think about where I want to be in a year, then what’s actually achievable and make a goal from there.

I'm excited to announce the podcast will be coming to you weekly for 2024!

Working with people isn’t just about hiring the right person. You still need to manage the project and collaborate to get the most out of your investment. Just because something is a project, doesn’t just mean you should just get it ticked off and done. You’ve invested in your business and you should get what you’ve paid for, and yes we want to enjoy working with people, but the people pleasing needs to be dialled in right.

This is the third and final episode in a series about hiring and managing your marketing hires. Outsourcing of marketing isn’t always super simple, but these episodes are here to give you a starting point to get you maybe halfway through figuring out how to make this work for you. This episode is particularly around managing those hires. I talk a little about the basics of delegating tasks, gaining trust on both sides, but also ways to empower and grow the relationship even further, and how to adapt the role over time.

This is part two of a mini series all about hiring for marketing help. If you missed the last episode, I highly recommend starting there since I covered everything you need to think about and prepare before you start the hiring search.

In this episode, I'm breaking down how you can hire without the overwhelm. When there are so many options out there, you need to limit who you are willing to work with. Let's figure it out.

Frankly Write is a copywriting and brand studio for the rebels and the weirdos. I make customers obsess over brands, one word at a time. Some call me the brand cult-maker...maybe it was me, but I heard it's catching on.

I’m new to AI myself, and have tried using it but found it quite hard to train the tools to match my brand voice. Neither of us are experts on AI, but as I’ve been listening to other takes on it and other podcasts, it seemed to me like Brand Voice was being left out of the conversation. I wanted to chat with Rachel about AI through the lens of copywriting, and brand voice. We want to be able to use these tools , but with accurate expectations and checks and balances in place to make sure we are still on brand. Since we embrace automation around here, we want to use AI to save us time, without compromising on the value we’re providing. I use AI to edit this podcast, with it switching between the video options, and it saves me at least an hour or two per episode, so I’m ready to apply it to other parts of my business. In this episode I chat with Rachel about how we can retain our brand voice while using the tools at our disposal. I’ll include some links in the show notes for more technical resources if this inspires you to learn more about AI.

Kathryn McGarvey has more than 20 years’ marketing experience, from marketing for small local businesses, through to the types of big city soulless corporates you’d never confess to working for at a party without expecting a litany of (justified) complaints. She now runs The Meaningful Marketing Company, based in Napier, New Zealand. She spends her days interviewing people, digitally eavesdropping and generally engaged in wholesome snooping on behalf of her clients (to help them better understand their customers). She’ll tell anyone who’ll listen that talking to your customers and using what they tell you in your marketing is an outrageously simple way to attract, captivate and convert exactly-perfect buyers.
