I had a blast jumping on this podcast to talk about one of the biggest conversion killers I see all the time — hiding your CTA below the fold.
This week on Above The Fold, I sat down with my girl Lindsay Kolinsky, Director of Marketing at Okendo, to talk about what most brands are doing wrong when it comes to understanding their customers.We get into why reviews are just the beginning, how to use micro-surveys the right way, and why personalization should feel like a vibe—not a tactic. Plus, we dig into why NPS is wildly underused in e-commerce, how to actually make your community work for you, and the biggest CX red flags most marketers miss.Lindsay also shares her POV on moderation, 1-star reviews (keep 'em!), and why every post-checkout survey needs a glow-up. If you're building a brand and want your customer insights to do more than collect dust in a dashboard, this one's for you.Listen now for practical tips on surveys, personalization, loyalty, and what it really takes to turn your customers into super fans.
This week on Above The Fold, I'm in NYC catching up with my new friend and fellow startup nerd, Adam Simone—co-founder of Leaf Shave and Smoosh. We get into what it really means to build product-first brands and why having strong opinions might actually be a founder's best tool.We talk about his mechanical engineering background and how it led to building a shaving brand that doesn't suck, and why their second brand, Smoosh, turned into a surprise hit with a totally different audience.Adam breaks down the chaos and clarity of launching two brands with one small team, why TikTok turned on them (lol, truly), and how staying product-led keeps the vision clear—even when the market throws curveballs.If you're trying to scale something meaningful, juggle two brands, or just need a reminder that not every decision needs a focus group, this one's for you.Listen now for insights on product development, startup reality checks, and the joy of building weird stuff that works.

In this episode we discuss two new books on architecture, buildings and Ireland's capital city, Dublin. The books are The Dublin Architecture Guide 1937-2021, by Paul Kelly, Cormac Murray and Brendan Spierin, published by the Lilliput Press and designed by Eamonn Hall. The second book is The Dignity of Everyday Life: Celebrating Michael Scott's Busaras, with text by Eoin O' Broin and photographs by Mal McCann. The book is designed by Stuart Coughlan and published by Merrion Press. The podcast covers the themes and content of the books individually and together, paying particular attention to the design of the books and how photographs are used. Joining Emmett Scanlon to discuss these books are architect David Capener and photographer Noel Bowler. ABOUT THE CRITICS David Capener is an architect, educator and writer and a lecturer at the Belfast School of Architecture. He himself has just published a book as part of ANNEX, a six person team who made ENTANGLEMT, the national pavilion at the 2021 Biennale of architecture in Venice. The book, STATES OF ENTAGLEMENT: Data in the Irish Landscape, is published by ACTAR and designed by Alex Synge. Noel Bowler, who studied at the Belfast School of Art and is currently Senior Lecturer in Photography at the University of Suffolk. Noel Bowler is a photographer and educator. His photographs, exhibitions and publications continue to look at the ongoing consideration of the political forces that shape our world, reflected through the organisation of social space. Made over a six year period, Noel's most recent book ABOVE THE FOLD is a series of photographs taken in some of the most respected and recognised newspaper newsrooms from around the world. The book was designed by Robert Farrelly at POST STUDIO and published by RARE editions. NOTE: The podcast was recorded on zoom. During the course of the recording there was some local distortion on some aspects of the sound. We apologise for this and have done our best to correct this.

Back in [episode #20](https://audioboom.com/posts/7179354-video-s-role-in-2019) Charles was joined by [Francis Ma](https://www.linkedin.com/in/francisma1/) of [Brafton](https://www.brafton.com/) to talk all about video marketing in 2019. That appearance on Tech Demand Weekly caused a rift between Francis and his podcast partner in crime, Jeff Baker. Together they host the Above The Fold podcast which is a marketing podcast that sidelines in Top Gun quotes and AI chat. In fact, it's probably a podcast more about movies, TV shows and artificial intelligence with a sprinkling of marketing trends thrown in. Francis and Jeff tell Charles why they created Above The Fold, how it started life as a failed video and why podcast analytics suck.
Every year predictions are made about video being bigger and better. In 2018, Jeff Baker of [Brafton](https://www.brafton.com/) wrote an article dedicated to why video would be a must in the year ahead. One year on, Jeff's colleague, Francis Ma joins Charles to talk about whether Jeff was right and what role video will have to play in B2B marketing in 2019. Francis Ma is the Vice President of Content at [Brafton](https://www.brafton.com/). In ten years he has worked his way up from the role of writer to having all of the creative teams report to him. Francis is also the co-host of the [Above The Fold podcast](https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/above-the-fold-by-brafton/id1413932916).
Content marketing experts Jeff Baker and Francis Ma from the Brafton Agency started the Above The Fold podcast around the same time we started ours. After connecting on social we realized a collaboration would be informative and fun for at least our own amusement. Whether it is for you listeners is another story! But Jeff and Francis dooffer a ton of their best practices and observations on web analytics, content creation, client relations, the pros and cons of marketing AI, and much more.

SHOW # 264 - Live, Uncut & Uncensored Conversations With "Musicians You Should Know" Markus James released his latest album back in October. The album is entitled Head For The Hills and was recorded in the delta in Mississippi. He is backed up by some Hill Country royalty. He music is the result of his love for the Hill Country of Mississippi and the sounds of West African Music and even toured in Mali, West Africa to continue his studies. Markus and I will explore this unique journey and listen to tunes from Head For The Hills. Blues411 Report for April with friend Chefjimi Patricola will look back on the last month and look ahead to what is coming up with the music in the next month. Blue Lunch hails from Cleveland and had a hit with their debut, Blue Lunch Special. They are back with Above The Fold, which dropped in November and there was no sophomore jinx with this one. The album has been getting a ton of airplay. Combining all types of blues, from Chicago, to Jump to New Orleans R&B and everything in between the band's music is infectious. I will speak with Guitarist Bob Frank about the new album and where the band is headed next. Also released in November, Mike Osborn'sIn The Dog House blends blues, rock and country to provide some powerful music. Osborn's guitar work is stellar throughout and the whole thing was produced and mastered by Grammy award winner Alan Mirikitani who also wrote most of the music. Mike and I will talk about his musical influences and the album and more when he joins me.
