#676 Are you overcomplicating your marketing? In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, we're joined by Alban Brooke, Head of Marketing at Buzzsprout, who helped grow the company from just 2,000 customers to over 120,000 active podcasts. Alban shares why so many marketing efforts fail — not because of bad tactics, but because of a lack of clarity around who you're speaking to and what message you're delivering. We explore the fundamentals of effective marketing, how to identify your ideal customer, and why chasing every new platform or funnel often leads to burnout. Alban also opens up about his unconventional journey from law school to software, how homeschooling shaped his approach to work, and the power of following your energy instead of forcing strategies that don’t align. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the marketing noise, this episode will help you refocus on what actually works — so you can build a business that’s both effective and sustainable!
