Ready to make your marketing smarter, not harder? In this episode of the Simply Smart Business podcast, Nicki Ong sits down with Dylan Bennett, fractional CMO and founder of DYB Media, to unpack practical strategies small businesses can use right now. 

From why digital marketing outperforms traditional in trackable ROI, to how storytelling and authenticity build trust, to the systems that keep your content consistent, Dylan shares what actually moves the needle. He also demystifies the fractional CMO role and explains how part-time leadership can accelerate strategy without the full-time price tag.

You’ll hear how Dylan repurposes one podcast into 30+ assets, why actionable metrics matter, and how to use AI as an aid – not a crutch. If you want clear, repeatable processes and better results, this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways

  • Digital beats traditional for measurable ROI and lower barriers to entry
  • Fractional CMO = strategic leadership, part-time cost, full-scope impact
  • Storytelling + authenticity = trust, connection, conversion
  • Repurposing multiplies reach: one topic can fuel 10–30+ assets
  • AI is a tool for structure and speed; your voice delivers the value
  • Time-blocking and systems reduce overwhelm and increase consistency
  • “One rep at a time”: focus on the next best action to build momentum
