Marketing Geeks

Ep #62 - For the kick-off of Season 2 of the Marketing Geeks Podcast, we welcome an incredible guest that will change the way you view advertisements forever. Our guest today is a man that can write words to sell anything to anyone. He was personally mentored under the tutelage of Gary Vaynerchuk, he has secured advertising contracts with companies like M&Ms / Mars Candy and Budweiser, and he is the CEO of Ad Zombies, a company designed to help small and medium sized businesses breathe new life into ads that have failed or are failing. Quite simply, our guest, Ken "Spanky" Moskowitz, resurrects dead ads and turns them into zombies. 

In our special sit-down with Ken, you will learn how he got started with advertising at a very young age and you'll even get a sneak peak into his mind as he reveals several ad jingles never before released to the general public. Ken is a master at writing effective sales copy and he credits strong storytelling as the root to his success. If you've ever wanted to get better at sales copy, triggering desired emotions, and understanding target market audiences, Ken Moskowitz is the only resource you need.

Ken has volunteered himself to take on two of the Marketing Geeks listeners in a mentor role. If you are interested in exploring this opportunity, a massive one by the way, please either contact Ken through his website, www.SpankyMoskowitz.com, or shoot us an email at [email protected] and we will make sure Ken has you information. Submitting a request is not a guarantee of mentorship, Ken and his team will have a process for selecting his two proteges.

Ep #58 - Our guests this week are the first married couple we’ve had on the show, Jonathan and Sascha Schlossberg. Together, they founded the company Holistic Made which is a marketing & SEO agency catering to the health and wellness niche. While their entrepreneurial journey did not begin with the idea of forming a marketing agency, it evolved into this after they were mentored by a top internet marketer.

With their new skills and knowledge, Holistic Made was created to help holistic, naturally focused businesses like birth centers or chiropractors that tend to try to do everything themselves. Jonathan and Sascha discovered a huge need for their services in this niche. Beyond search engine optimization, Holistic Made provides services of Facebook marketing, lead generation, web design, & Facebook ads.
