AI is changing Marketing faster than ever, but it doesn't have to be intimidating. Daniel's OUT, Tamara's IN…and she's got product marketer, startup veteran, and AI enthusiast Michelle Nieberding to talk about how to bring more play and less panic into experimenting with AI.

So, what are some ways to start using it? Marketers can repurpose webinars into social clips, and analyze customer feedback, and even rethink how KPIs get tracked. Plus, how does she feel about AI agents? Michelle explains her take.  If you've ever wondered how to get started with AI in your work, or just want one new tool to test this week, this is the episode for you.  Follow Michele: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michele-nieberding/ Follow Tamara: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamaragrominsky/ Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

What do Michael Kors, Blue Nile, and Typeform have in common? More than you'd think. Daniel's OUT, Tamara's IN. She's joined by Kevin Branscum, a brand leader who's worked across fashion, luxury, and B2B SaaS. Together, they explore why the best brands aren't built on features or functions but on feelings, cultural awareness, and creativity. What can SaaS and B2B Marketers learn from fashion CMOs? Turns out, there's a similar connection between people and software beyond just its practical use. Research should go beyond product usage into the real lives of customers. And, Brand can (and should) be an “always on” refresh. They also dig into how to avoid the copycat trap of competitor marketing and why taste might just be the most important marketing skill in the AI era.

Ever wonder why so much marketing messaging sounds impressive but leaves you cold? That's because most brands are talking to themselves instead of the people they're trying to reach. Daniel's out, Tamara's IN. Messaging strategist and author Emma Stratton joins Tamara to break down how to flip your copy from inside out to outside in so it speaks directly to what your audience cares about. Emma suggests saying things like you actually mean them with her “say it like you would at a barbecue” rule. It's time to ditch jargon and make your value obvious.  Plus, is AI a writer or a thought partner? Truth is, AI is the latter.

Why was Jay running the security desk at the YMCA at only 14?  Daniel and Jay break down their job search tips and promotion tricks. From tailoring your resume to building your personal brand, a lot goes into your career moves.  The truth? The best time to look for a job is while you still have one.

Search is changing for the first time since Google launched. And it's changing fast. Daniel's out, Tamara's IN. In this episode, she sits down with Nick Lafferty, Growth Marketer at Profound, to unpack the seismic shift from traditional SEO to AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews.

Most of your marketing is going to fail. And that's not a problem…unless you pretend it didn't. Daniel and Jay get honest about falling on your face and getting back up again.  Jay breaks down how even “successful” metrics, like a 47% open rate, are still rooted in failure and why marketers need to get comfortable with those numbers if they ever want to grow.  Daniel emphasizes the importance of creating a culture where failure is analyzed and shared. And, they explore how holding onto a bad idea can drain budgets, tank morale, and stop better ideas from getting the attention they deserve. How do you pick things up when it seems like a failure?  This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about going when the going gets tough.

When Sandy Mangat joined Pocus as its first go-to-market hire, there was no brand, no messaging, and only a Webflow template and a Fiverr logo to start with.  Daniel's out, Tamara is IN…and she's got a special guest and startup Marketer Sandy Mangat. They talk about the realities of being a startup's first Marketer: how to decide where to focus when everything feels urgent and why brand and demand aren't separate. As a solo marketer at a seed-stage startup, Sandy had to balance big-picture strategy while building a category, a community, and a cult following from the ground up. How do you start from scratch? Plus, why is “delusional optimism” the best skill to have? Sandy walks us through her mindset.  If you've ever started from the ground up or love building brands from scratch, this is the episode for YOU.

Your homepage could be better.  Daniel's out, Tamara is IN…and she's got special guest and homepage pro Anthony Pierri. Homepages are supposed to be a strategic asset and not just a design exercise. Why does it matter? Basically, first impressions are important. It's a way to hold yourself (and your team) accountable.  Plus, should you focus on clarity or cleverness? Clarity should be a defining factor in what you place on your homepage. And, you and your team have to make a decision: do you want your homepage to summarize, itemize, or prioritize? If you've ever looked at your homepage or website and thought, “This is missing something,” this is the episode for YOU.

Templates suck.  Daniel and Jay dive into how templates (like the ones you find on Canva and Illustrator) may actually be hurting your content, not helping it. Relying on cookie-cutter templates, whether for email, social media, or design, can make your brand invisible. When everyone's using the same templates, how can you stand out? Daniel argues that people subconsciously scroll past templates on social feeds because they look like everything else. Jay even says breaking patterns and not doing what everyone else is doing is the real key to standing out in social or email. Plus, is it a greater conversation about formulaic thinking? This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about getting creative and thinking outside of the box.

If your content isn't getting clicks, it might not be broken. It might be brilliant. You're just measuring it wrong. Daniel sits down with Amanda Natividad, VP of Marketing at SparkToro and the creator of the now-legendary concept “zero click content.” They break down how to develop world-class marketing taste, why linkless content wins, and what most teams misunderstand about modern content strategy. Amanda unpacks the origins of zero click marketing, how she turned a casual comment into a viral framework, and why content that lives natively on social is more powerful (and measurable) than you think. She and Daniel explore how to reverse-engineer content that sparks DMs, shares, and real-world conversations, not just vanity metrics. And, how do you align your team to define “good” if everyone has differing opinions? If you've ever struggled to justify social ROI, align your boss around modern KPIs, or just want to create content that makes your audience say “holy sh*t, that's me,” this episode is your playbook.

Having thousands of followers seems like the peak of social media. BUT, does that number actually matter?  Truth is, while follower count is important, social is evolving past just follower count. It's becoming more and more about engagement, content, and playing the algorithm. How does social proof play a role in whether or not someone engages with your content? Why does having too many followers look sketchy to others? Daniel shares how some brands are creating multiple accounts to get way more views on clips. Jay dives into his opinions on LinkedIn brand accounts..and how having 7,000 followers but no posts is a bad look. And, YouTube is pushing Shorts in their algorithm. How can you play this to your advantage? This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about playing the circulation game.

Why do so many marketing strategies fall flat? What separates the brands that scale from those that stall? In this episode, Daniel sits down with Erik Huberman, founder and CEO of Hawke Media, a Marketing agency that's worked with over 6,000 brands and built one of the largest Marketing analytics engines in the space.

Matt Kerbel, Head of Global Brand Strategy at Turo, joins the show to unpack what marketers are missing in the age of AI.

It's more about who's following you, than how many.  Vin Matano, Founder of Creatorbuzz, talks about how B2B influencer marketing programs can change brands if used correctly AND strategically.

Marketing is easy to understand as a Marketer, duh. But to other departments (like Finance, Ops, Sales, etc.), it can be hard to get them to understand WHY your company needs Marketing.  Enter: Steve Stano, a Marketing leader in the financial services space. Sure, not everyone is a Marketer, but he's here to break down how you can get everyone on board, in the loop, and up to date about what Marketing can do.  What does data have to do with it? Turns out, data should be the reason you do anything. You need the numbers to back it up. And as Marketers, it's our job to paint the picture so others understand why we do things.  Plus, what's smarter ABM?

Do waitlists even matter to customers anymore? Or are they a waste of time? Daniel says it depends, but basically, lists are important in marketing. Getting email addresses of important people (including people that are interested in your brand) should always be a priority. But, there are some instances where a wait list wouldn't make sense, like a free virtual event. Jay and Daniel talk about building hype…and what to do when that hype gets busted.   Plus, what's the biggest hacks in DTC vs. B2B SaaS? One is using the term “sold out” for social proof and the other is beta access. The OG upsell has always been a long line. How do you do that with a virtual service or product?

It's time to talk about customer and market segmentation - no math needed. For now, at least. What exactly is the MAP framework? Tamara breaks it down. It stands for measure volume, analyze performance, and prioritize potential, so you can determine who your highest-potential customers are. It helps you focus your marketing tactics and shape your roadmaps.  But what does measuring volume even mean?

Do testimonials and reviews actually sway people's opinions of your product?  According to Daniel, you NEED social proof on your website, and Jay agrees. But you don't want anything generic because it'll sound weird and forced. Instead, you'll want testimonials that are specific. Think: “This product cut our costs down by 150%,” or something similar. You want to show impact.  Also, what do your logos and landing pages look like? Make sure it matches your client. Daniel mentions thinking about targeting in tiers. You'll also want to consider what your customers care about, and not just the fluff.  Plus, should you pretend an unfunny text is funny? Jay tests it on Daniel.  This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about social proof and reviews.

Price is a form of psychology all on its own…but how do you determine how much your product should cost? You know how some brands will base product price off of what their competitors are doing? Or how some just throw a price out there? Tamara has a hot take: neither of these are good strategies. So, Daniel brings up some points: validation and pressure testing.  Plus, Tamara shares the  Van Westendorp Pricing Test, a framework she insists is perfect for Marketers. Basically, it takes customer acceptance and perception into account. How much is their willingness to pay when researching your product?

It's no secret that AI is super helpful. But how do Daniel and Jay use it? It's more than just about asking ChatGPT questions or telling it to summarize blocks of text. In Daniel's case, he uses it to repurpose podcast transcripts into multiple forms of content. (Work smarter, not harder, besties.) It's a great way to experiment with different formats and tones depending on who your audience is.  Jay mentions you can even use it to optimize your website. What's the difference between engine optimization and SEO? How do you get your website to pop up the way you want it to? He breaks it down…and even says it's the #1 thing to focus on.  Plus, what do they think of Love Island's format? Like AI, it can be A LOT.  This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about using AI to your advantage.

Attribution is broken, and Jay and Daniel are here to call it out.

Daniel shares how adding a simple “Where did you hear about us?” question changed everything. Jay explains why the best companies sit in on sales calls and focus on actual revenue, not spreadsheet battles. And, they both agree: marketing attribution isn't a math problem. It's an alignment problem. This Bathroom Break is a spicy take on a not-so-sexy topic.

That “middle” option on a pricing page? It's not there by accident. It's there to mess with your brain…in the best way possible. This episode's guest, Tamara Grominsky, is back to break down one of the sneakiest (and most effective) psychological tools in marketing: price anchoring. From B2B SaaS to steakhouse menus, she shows how marketers use decoy pricing to nudge people toward the offer they actually want you to buy. And, we dig into the difference between setting a price and positioning it, because pricing is more than just a revenue lever. It's a storytelling tool. Plus, we explore ways you can apply this today by adding decoy tiers, using visual hierarchy, and writing copy that reframes value without touching the numbers. If you're a marketer who wants to sell more without changing your product, just how it's perceived, this one's a masterclass.

Ebooks, webinars, white papers…B2B needs more exciting names to use for content. It's time to test the waters with it. Here's what Daniel and Jay suggest.  Daniel points out that even using “festival” for his annual big virtual event is more enticing than just a webinar and it seems to work much better. Jay suggests instead of an eBook, try playbook or guide—he even mentions that from his experience, using “guide” increased his downloads by 30%.  And, Daniel shares a hack about writing newsletter headlines. Should you start with headlines before you write the actual content, or vice versa? This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about using less boring terms and getting those downloads and signups UP.

Patagonia isn't just scaling mountains. They're scaling through affiliate strategy.  This episode's guest, Cricket Treanor, went from the sales floor to HQ's affiliate marketing program. At Patagonia, their mission is centered on the environment, and their clientele is adventurous. So, when it comes to partnerships, they're thinking outside the box: cash back with Rakuten, listicles of the “best jackets”, and speaking out about social issues, to name a few. What should you do as a brand when you don't lean heavily into loyalty and deals?  And, Cricket debunks some misconceptions about the affiliate space. It's more than just loyalty; it's really brand awareness. Affiliates aren't taking sales away from other channels. Where do they fit into the marketing funnel?  Plus, Patagonia is more than just selling products, they're aiming to bring environmental awareness and sustainability efforts to their audience. How does the buy-back program contribute to KPIs? In a world of overconsumption, how do you get customers excited about new products when overconsumption contradicts the brand mission?

What do you get when you mix scheduling, stories, auto posting, and Instagram? You get Sked Social. But things haven't always been this way… This episode's guest, Hugh Stephens, created Sked Social as an all-in-one tool for Instagram back in 2013. Remember your feedback then? It has evolved from hipster filters and casual posts to algorithm-driven feeds and AI-generated content. Now, it's a battle for creativity and a battle against the algorithm AND sameness. How should you stand out? When's the best time to post? Who even dictates this?  And, what does brand voice have to do with community? Community happens with connection, and connection happens when brands have authentic interactions. Real, meaningful engagement doesn't happen on the feed—it happens in the DMs and stories.  Plus, Hugh has his spiciest take: not everyone should be in marketing. If you're a marketer who wants to learn more about connecting with your audience beyond Instagram's main feed, this is the episode for you.  Sked Social is the no-BS social media management platform built for teams who want to move fast, collaborate easily, and actually prove impact. No per-seat shakedowns, no absurd price hikes, no surprise add-ons—just powerful tools that save time and cut through the chaos.

Daniel and Jay have a tactic for YOU to use on social…and it's foolproof.  Doesn't matter if you're a DTC brand or a podcaster looking for your next guest. First, the setup is everything and the headline's the most important. Next, mention you're looking for XYZ and encourage your audience to tag friends who meet the description. Then, watch that engagement roll in—complete with a list of people who are interested in your work, your brand, etc.  Plus, what does Daniel have against lazy rivers?  This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about getting your audience involved in your growth and expanding your network in the process.

Think about everything that's changed in social since 2015. If you make a list, influencer marketing would be pretty high on it.  This episode's guest, Robyn Nissim, has seen the influencer marketing space grow since then. From building Ulta's first influencer program to working as the Head of Social Media at brands like Alo and Anastasia Beverly Hills, it's all about connection. Who is your influencer connecting with? Where would you like to drive them to? Who is the IT girl of the moment, and could we possibly work together? It's all about working with what you have, your budget, and optimizing from there.  And, a large part of influencer marketing is alignment. It's more than just showing a fitness influencer wearing a matching set: you have to look at the content they've already posted and if it aligns with your mission. If not, you could set yourself up for disaster.  Plus, what's the best way to build an influencer campaign? There is no right way, according to Robyn. What role does paid media have? Turns out, it can be a gamble. While it's a pay-to-play entity, it can't guarantee lifetime value or even purchases from your ICP.  If you're a marketer who wants to learn more about the inner workings of influencer marketing, this is the episode for you.  Let's face it—consumers don't trust ads, but they do trust their favorite creator, that go-to review site, or a friend's recommendation.

Customer interviews are a goldmine for information and strategy ideas. But how do you turn their words into action?  Daniel and Tamara talk about how customer feedback is great, but turning their insights into actual change is even better. First, you have to make sure you're asking the right questions to get the information you need. Next, there's two types of interviews: generative and concept-testing. Which one should you choose based on your goals?  Tamara shares why “right place at the right time” is important when it comes to buying, churning, or even adopting a feature.

There's a TON of uncertainty in today's climate: tariffs, regulations, etc. How should you deal with it when it comes to marketing efforts?  Enter: transparency. Being clear about pricing and how it'll affect your customers' carts helps save you (and your team) from varying questions. Putting this notice on a landing page is a way to address it. Plus, going too far on discounting may not be a great strategy. Instead, doubling down on value and need are a better angle. Jay also mentions revising internal expectations when it comes to sales and pipelines. Should you double down on your already existing client base? Absolutely.   This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about preparing for potential setbacks.

That's because it's changing everyday and as Marketers, we gotta stay ahead of the curve.  This episode's guest is Nick Tran, current CMO at FARFETCH and former TikTok, Hulu, and Samsung marketer. Here's a truth some marketers don't want to hear: most brands are playing it too safe and it can trap you in a cycle of sameness in social media content. The solution? Originality. Creativity.

Plus, what does compromise look like as a manager when your client wants something that clashes with your strategy?

This week's guest, Kylee Peña, is working on marrying AI into our beloved tools, including Premiere and Photoshop.
