In this episode of Create Like the Greats, Ross sits down with Tommy Walker to dive into his groundbreaking report, The State of Discontent, which reveals critical challenges and emerging trends in the content marketing industry. Through in-depth interviews and data analysis, Tommy highlights the gaps in audience research, the evolving role of meaning in storytelling, and the ethical use of AI in content creation. Together, they discuss how marketers can adapt their strategies, embrace innovation, and foster stronger team dynamics to thrive in a rapidly changing landscape. This conversation is packed with actionable insights for anyone looking to stay ahead in the content marketing world. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. The Importance of Audience Research in Content Marketing Tommy Walker's report reveals a startling statistic: 40.3% of content marketers fail to conduct sufficient audience research. This oversight undermines the effectiveness of content marketing strategies, as understanding the audience is crucial for crafting impactful messages. Many marketers make the mistake of relying too heavily on assumptions about their existing audience, leading to a disconnect between the content's intention and its reception. The episode underscores that audience research is not just a step in the process—it's the foundation of meaningful engagement. 2. The Shift from Information to Meaning Content marketing is no longer just about disseminating information; it's about creating content that resonates deeply with the audience. Tommy explains that audiences are increasingly seeking narratives that connect with their values and experiences. Simply presenting ideas without context or emotional relevance misses the mark. The discussion highlights how prioritizing meaning over information enables marketers to forge genuine connections that leave a lasting impact. 3. Leveraging AI Responsibly AI's role in content creation is transformative, but only when used responsibly. Tommy and Ross delve into the importance of frameworks that integrate AI without sacrificing quality. While AI can streamline processes and boost productivity, it cannot replace the creative and strategic thinking integral to impactful content. A skilled writer using AI as a tool can amplify their work, but poor foundational skills will still yield subpar results. The key takeaway is that AI should complement, not replace, human ingenuity. 4. The Road Ahead: Long-Term Vision in Content Marketing The episode emphasizes the need for a long-term vision in content marketing, which is often overshadowed by short-term goals. Tommy points out that neglecting thorough audience research not only hampers immediate efforts but also jeopardizes the ability to build sustainable relationships. By focusing on a strategic, forward-looking approach, marketers can attract the right audience and nurture connections that endure, ensuring their content remains relevant and impactful over time.

In this episode of Make Business Personal, Kiley Peters, founder of RAYNE IX, talks about the importance of audience research and provides a step-by-step guide on how to conduct it effectively. She emphasizes the need to understand and identify your target audience in order to serve them better. Kiley recommends creating a short script and reaching out to specific individuals in your network for interviews. She also suggests asking questions about their challenges, past experiences, ideal solutions, and expected investments. Kiley also advises recording the interviews and analyzing the responses for patterns. The goal of audience research is to gather information and make necessary adjustments to better serve your audience.The Purpose of Audience Research 3:06Using the Language of Your Audience 8:33Recommended Resources 16:15Quotes “You are not trying to prove that you are right. You are trying to gather information to see if you were right or see if you need to tweak things or adjust them entirely.” 3:12“If you go out doing audience research trying to prove that you are correct, you will be doing it wrong and you will be doing yourself a huge disservice. And there's really no point in doing audience research if you're just trying to prove your point. You need to be going out open-minded and try to listen to the words that they're using and really listen to what they're trying to communicate versus just trying to validate what you think you want to hear them say.” 3:25“You should start seeing patterns in their responses between the fourth and fifth interview, and then you're looking at interviews five, six, seven to validate that. So I'm going to recommend you go out and conduct five to seven interviews. If you can do more, awesome, do more.” 5:26Links & Follow-ups:Learn more at MakeBusinessPersonal.com & KileyPeters.com Downloads available at MBPDownloads.comWork with us at RAYNEIX.com & RIXAccelerator.com Submit questions at MBPPodcast.com Newsletter Signup: RIXNewsletter.com Linkedin: Kiley Peters & RAYNE IXInstagram: @kileypeters & @rayneix Email: info@rayneix.com

Today we are going to be chatting about Reddit, that sneaky little platform that is building communities and having meaningful discussions that are also self-regulated. The people on Reddit are voting up and voting down anything that they do not want to see or do want to see. It is entirely run by moderators and communities themselves. Within this platform, there is so much data that brands can tap into and can use to understand their consumers and ultimately their decision-making habits. Joining us today is the founder of GummySearch, an audience research tool for Reddit. His name is Fed Folio, and Fed has founded not just GummySearch, but also Hive Index, which is a catalog for a variety of topics and various communities within Reddit to help you find communities that matter most to you and your interests. Fed and I get into some nitty-gritty topics specifically around the culture that is found on Reddit, how brands have continued to struggle to find their footing in the Reddit communities, how founders can show up authentically, and how organizations can tap into the endless amount of qualitative and quantitative data that their customers are sharing about their brand, about their industry, and about their world today. Buckle up and let's get into it.Check out the Gummy Search platform here. Follow Fed on Twitter here. To connect with Hillary, click here.
