Listen Later

Are you asking the right questions to find out the reasons why you’re creating a piece of content? And once you’ve created that piece of content, is good enough good enough?

In this captivating interview, we delve into the world of marketing and content creation with Gabi Zijderveld, Chief Marketing Officer at Smart Eye. Gabi shares her insights on two essential marketing tactics: the power of adaptation and the embrace of imperfection.

The interview kicks off with Gabi recounting an extraordinary experience she led—a virtual book launch and tour during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gabi faced the daunting task of pivoting from traditional in-person events to a virtual platform. She explains how they not only successfully adapted to the new circumstances but also exceeded their own expectations, reaching a global audience in unprecedented ways.

Gabi also advocates for a refreshing concept—'good enough' content. She challenges the common pursuit of perfection and argues that, in many cases, striving for 100% perfection can hinder progress and waste valuable time. Instead, Gabi suggests that marketers should focus on creating content that meets the target market's needs and serves its intended purpose.

Join us as we unravel tales of innovation, resilience, and the pursuit of excellence in marketing, guided by Gabi's valuable experiences. Discover how the art of adaptation and the acceptance of imperfection can lead to marketing success in today's dynamic landscape.
