This is Marketing Podcast

Goodbye 2017, hello 2018. In this episode, I talk about some of the trends I saw that I really enjoyed in marketing, and some of those learning moments I think we can all benefit for. All of those moment lead to what I think 2018 is going to bring us as marketers and really lay the groundwork for a productive year.

30,000 podcasts listens might now seem like a big number, but from a YoY comparison, it’s a 387% increase in listens – I’ll take that stat any day. In 30,000 listens, I’ve been learning nonstop about podcasting, content and my audience, and in this episode, I share some of those learning moments. What they were, and why I think they are important to think about as you setup and build not only an audience, but a platform for your own voice.

It’s the holidays, and for some of you, it’s the most busiest time of the year! Black Friday is right around the corner and your marketing should already be firing on all cylinders. However, it’s not just your black Friday marketing we have to worry about, there is now Small Business Saturday marketing and Cyber Monday marketing that are just as important as the Black Friday marketing that you have out there. In this episode, I talk about why this time is the time to build your audiences, engage your social channels and build your strategy that impact your sales for the rest of the year.

Social media is a great way to expose your brand to the masses, however, not all businesses know how to create a team that will post effective content to social channels. In this podcast, I talk about what that team should look like, how you can recruit users and what they should be focusing on while building your content strategy. Start small, and back your way into a social media PR team. Utilize local colleges and high school students – they are the experts when it comes to these platforms.

Facebook has announced that it is testing some changes in the news feed and how publishers content will show up in that feed. In this podcast, I discuss the Facebook publisher changes, and how that could potentially impact your social media strategy. I also discuss why you shouldn’t be afraid of changes on social media and some insight as to how you can plan to be adaptive to such changes in your overall social strategy.
