Starting a donut business in Germany highlighted the importance of marketing. Entrepreneurship has gained popularity in South Asia recently. Marketing strategies must be tailored to local businesses. Running a donut shop involves significant challenges and responsibilities. Learning from business failures is crucial for future success. Empathy is essential in creating effective marketing messages. Many businesses fail to understand their target audience. Digital marketing mistakes are common across all business sizes. AI can assist in content creation but requires human oversight. Stock photos are easily recognizable and often ineffective. Successful marketing requires a personal touch and genuine connection. Empathy in marketing is essential for building genuine connections. Understanding your target audience requires deep investment and respect. Observation of consumer behavior is more effective than asking them directly. Email marketing should be tailored to the specific needs of the audience.

Ultimate Money-Making Secret: Branding Yourself | Life Strategy Unveiled Description:
Director Christopher Nolan once said:“You have to do something that really excites you. It's the things that you can bring to what you're doing that maybe not everyone else is doing. That's what's going to distinguish the thing.”That's the energy we're taking into this episode of Remarkable. Guided by our guest this week, Jellyfish CMO Kyle Lacy, we're taking marketing lessons from the Oscar-winning director, Christopher Nolan. Together, we talk about mastering each channel, building the day-to-day life of your buyer into your content, and much more.About our guest, Kyle LacyKyle Lacy is CMO at engineering management platform Jellyfish, the pioneer Engineering Management Platform that enables engineering leaders to align engineering work with strategic business objectives. There, he helps engineering leaders translate and maximize the business impact of their teams. Kyle has 17 years of experience in high-growth software. Prior to joining Jellyfish in November 2022, Kyle served as CMO of Lessonly. He has also led marketing at Seismic, OpenView, Salesforce and ExactTarget. He is a published author of three books: Twitter Marketing for Dummies, Branding Yourself, and Social CRM for Dummies. He is a marketing and digital trends speaker, having spoken at marketing and technology industry events around the world on content marketing, collaborative consumption, email marketing, technology trends, and more. He has been recognized as one of Indiana's Forty-under-40 by the Indianapolis Business Journal, Anderson University's Young Alumni of the Year and TechPoint's Young Professional of the Year. But most importantly, he says, he's the father of two boys, an energetic dog, and one too many books on World War II.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Christopher Nolan:Master each channel. Reach a deep understanding of what your audience wants and needs from each channel and create content for it. Kyle says once you've mastered the channels, “you can start creating brand content that is more creative and entertainment oriented and more about the human that's buying the product, not necessarily the product itself.” It's like how Christopher Nolan has mastered fiction with Memento and Inception and non-fiction with Dunkirk and Oppenheimer. He understands what viewers of each genre are looking for and creates content specifically for them.Build the day-to-day life of the buyer into your marketing. Include different storylines and details in your content so that it shows an understanding of your audience and their lived experience. The more your content clicks with them, the more they'll remember your brand when they're ready to buy. Kyle says, “We sell to an engineering leader. There are 500 other things that that engineering leader is dealing with on a day to day basis that might not necessarily pertain to our product, but does lead to exuberance, stress, productivity…the Amazon package being late for his daughter's birthday present. So how do we build more of the day in the life of the buyer into our content? It's the human element that's the most interesting part of marketing.”Quotes*”When you've mastered your craft and you understand the minute technical details that make it enjoyable, whether that's marketing or producing a movie, you can make decisions and take risks because you understand what the impact will be because you've spent so much time obsessing over it. ” - Kyle Lacy*”Christopher Nolan got very lucky that he has a brother that's a very good screenwriter. But he also understands how to surround himself with people that are very good at what they do. And I think part of being a manager - and it doesn't even have to be marketing - is that you have to find the people that truly love their craft and are good at what they do so that the end product, no matter what it is, is the best that you could possibly do.” - Kyle Lacy*”Anybody can tune into a podcast about leadership values. And what does it take to be a great manager? Like there's 500 of them because it's easier to do. It's harder to do what we're doing right now. Y'all prepped for a Christopher Nolan-slash-CMO interview. But it's interesting, right? And that's why people like to be on it. That's why people listen to it. And that's, I think, this idea of illogical marketing, right? Like the more illogical you can be, the more creative it is and the more people enjoy it. It's just hard to grasp for a lot of marketers.” - Kyle Lacy*”I think the nuance Is how you balance the extremely illogical podcast, weird direct mails, lego building sets, all the stuff that I think surprises and delights people with the other things that might not be as fun and creative but drive business value. And that's where I would love to tell you that there's a framework you should follow. But it's, what is enjoyable to the customer? How do you understand that they like it, whether that's an increase in listeners or shares, or you got more people wanting to be interviewed? And then it's that you're hitting the numbers that you put in front of the board, and that's ultimately the value.” - Kyle Lacy*”You kill creativity when you try to apply too much ROI to a project. Doesn't mean you shouldn't track it, doesn't mean there shouldn't be ROI. But you sit down with a creative team and say, ‘Hey, let's think about how many downloads we can get or how much pipeline this thing is going to drive. And they just glaze over. Good creatives glaze over because you're not starting with the most important thing, which is the experience that thing is driving. You can work back, you can figure out the business impact of the thing. And it really depends on the piece of content, right? Like a playbook is going to be different than a podcast. But I'd like to start with the experience and then back into the business impact because I think it just has more value and people are more creative when you start with the experience.” - Kyle LacyTime Stamps[0:55] Meet Kyle Lacy, CMO at Jellyfish[2:51] Exploring Christopher Nolan's Storytelling Techniques[4:45] The Art of Making Complex Narratives Work[7:31] Christopher Nolan's Unique Approach to Filmmaking[10:14] Applying Nolan's Strategies to B2B Marketing[17:47] Drawing Parallels Between Nolan's Work and Marketing[18:52] Mastering Different Storytelling Formats[21:32] The Human Element in Marketing and Filmmaking[23:51] Exploring the Camera as a Character in Marketing[24:59] The Human Element: The Core of Marketing and Storytelling[26:26] Christopher Nolan's Mastery of Objects in Storytelling[28:04] Marketing Lessons from Nolan's Use of Totems[29:32] The Power of Mascots and Brand Identity[31:33] Creative Choices in Filmmaking: The Case of Bane's Voice[39:17] The Challenge of Balancing Creativity and Business Goals[43:58] Advice for other CMOsLinksConnect with Kyle on LinkedInLearn more about JellyfishAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

To blog or not to blog that is the question posed in this episode of Marketing RV. While businesses scramble to embrace content marketing, which is all the rage, how many understand the impetus for content. Lorraine, the PR traditionalist, touts the benefits of attracting attention by giving the audience key takeaways via content. Although Gene prefers video messaging over straight text, he explains why text is such an important part of all your electronic marketing. Two guests get some airtime on this show. Real estate agent Dave Joslin reveals the best piece of advice Gene ever gave him. As Gene's former high school football coach, Dave also speaks candidly about Gene's athletic prowess, or lack thereof. Christine Rizzo also dropped by DiFabio's Market & Tap to participate in the show and gain insight on leveraging social media to promote the Shevlin Family Foundation, where she serves as executive director. The Shevlin Family Foundation supports families of those struggling with addiction. They provide short-term housing for addicts going into or coming out of recovery. They also supply basic household goods. Christine also explains her transition from regulatory compliance consultant to teacher, to non-profit leader. Food is always an integral part of Marketing RV but you'll also snag these takeaways: LinkedIn's blogging feature always ranks well. Simply having social media is no longer enough.

Branding Yourself as a Real Estate Investor (CFFL 574) Transcript: Jack Butala: Jack and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Good day. Jack Butala: Welcome to the show today. In this episode, Jill and I talk about branding yourself as a real estate investor. Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on our landinvestors.com online community, it's free. Jill DeWit: Okay, Merritt asks, "I know Stripe seems to be the default," I'm gonna put in parentheses is a way of accepting credit card payments, that's what Stripe is, "but how are others setting up their accounts when they specifically ask you what you're selling and what kind of business you're in. I was thinking that being totally straight up with them would flag you as the get go as real estate transactions are prohibited, right? Are you coming up with a gray zone description such as 'tree and dirt collections in Northern Oregon'?" This is hilarious. "Or wholesale dirt and soil futures?" This is good stuff, man. That's another thing I want on my shirt. "I've seen so much conflicting information from investors, I want to come straight to the source." Seriously, "wholesale dirt and soil futures," Merritt, I want a shirt. That's awesome. Jack Butala: Wholesale dirt. Jill DeWit: "I buy and sell dirt and soil futures." Jack Butala: So, all kidding aside, we're gonna be serious just for a couple minutes here. This has been a massive problem in this industry since the very beginning. Jill DeWit: Of time. Jack Butala: Since the beginning of purchasing and selling real estate. Credit card processors don't like it, and we think we've found the answer. This is an incredibly timely question. So, we've negotiated a deal with Heartland Payment Systems, which is one of the largest credit card processors in the country. You probably don't know they're name because they're the company behind companies like Blue Pay and Stripe and things like that. Stripe and Blue Pay are just payment gateways, but the processors, it's all complicated and I don't want to get into it now. Jill DeWit: There's only a handful and the government won't let any more. Jack Butala: Exactly. Insurance is behind it all, and they see a real estate acquisition as a little bit riskier than purchasing a stereo, for example, online. Or anything else that you would buy online that gets shipped to you. So, Heartland has seen their way through it after, I think Jill and I have been working on this for a year. Jill DeWit: Yeah, at least. Jack Butala: So, we've asked them to set up people on their end specifically to process our members' requests without lying, without saying, "Yeah, we purchase and sell land and we process it online." So, reach out to us and we will give you, there's an actual, a procedure that you have to go through to apply, but the good news is that, you know, the procedure, they're all set up and they're ready to answer your questions and ready to deal with the whole thing. Jill DeWit: It's all property types, too, by the way. We're working fast to solve this for everybody. Jack Butala: It's solved. I received an email yesterday. I didn't tell you that. Jill DeWit: No, you didn't tell me that. Jack Butala: We have a- Jill DeWit: I just wrote myself a note, I'm like, "Is the deal ready? What can we do? All right." Jack Butala: There's a number that, there's like a serial number that you need, and you need to process it through one person to get it through the system. Again,
