Today Amy interviews David “Rev” Ciancio. This quick-paced episode is going to introduce you to a man who so far has gone from a motivated college radio station manager to a restaurant marketing guru and media influencer with 650,000 Instagram followers. Pay attention to how his ability to evaluate himself honestly has taken him far. His passion and energy will inspire you to get up and get going with your own career ASAP. “Rev” as he's known, went to Michigan State University and majored in communication and media studies as well as telecommunications and sociology. To make his parents happy he earned his degree, but his real desire was to be a DJ. He found a job at Michigan State's East Lansing radio station and by the time he finished school, he was the station manager. He loved music so in 1996 after graduating, he began to work for another local Michigan station. He only stayed there four weeks realizing that working weekend nights for little pay was not what he wanted in a career. He still enjoyed an appetite for the music business, so he found a job on the east coast promoting records for college radio stations. Eventually this led to interesting and fun employment with rock bands. He promoted and managed many of them over a period of 9 years or so, and was successful. Eventually he co-owned an agency with some like-minded friends. Over this period, he learned the recipe for steering bands to success. He tells Amy that successful talent learns and understands the business component of the music industry. After this long stretch of time, Rev made a decision. He knew he was not providing value at the level he wanted to since he could not always teach talent the concepts that were necessary for them to absorb in order to be successful. After some introspection, he realized it was time for another career pivot. All along his career journey, Rev had kept his hands in several different businesses. He and some friends from the music business shared ownership in a New York establishment, and after shuttering the music promotion and management agency, he decided to invest more time in the bar venture. Another side gig he had going was a very popular blog he wrote about great hamburgers and where to find them. His blog, “Burger Conquest,” was one of the top 3 on the topic internationally. At the urging of friends, his wheels started turning. How could he utilize the skills and experience from his previous years as a music promoter to promote his bar and food interests? Rev explains how he brought it all together. He found his many friends in the music business were delighted to patronize a bar that happily welcomed musicians and their supporters after performances. The place also hosted record release parties, and other music related events because of Rev's close ties. Unfortunately, they closed after 6 years, but not without Rev consuming quite a few lessons to carry forward. Most importantly, he realized how skilled he was at marketing and branding. Learning this about himself changed the direction of his career because he realized he could apply his marketing talent to businesses other than his own bar. In the future, he would spend his time focusing on bars and restaurants, helping with brand awareness, acquisition and retention in marketing location-based hospitality. Rev also explains the genesis of his current consulting busines. He was working as the Chief Marketing Officer of Single Platform, a software company when Trip Advisor bought out Single Platform. Initially Rev thought this might be a great thing for him because Trip Advisor was huge in comparison to Single Platform. Unfortunately in the shake up, Trip Advisor dismissed 60% of the senior staff at Single Platform and Rev was among the newly unemployed. Here again the occupationally agile David Ciancio reflexively pivoted. This was February of 2020, and he recalls the day's events vividly to Amy. It was on that same day that he landed some a client as a hospitality marketing consultant, providing support for awareness, acquisition and retention for restaurants and software providers. This consultancy became the seed of his new and present business. His latest venture was nurtured during the early months of the Covid-19 Pandemic. Thousands of restaurants have been tested during these challenging times. Those which have managed thus far to survive have specific problems to grapple with, and Rev is there with help and support. One major tool he has developed is a 4 week course for restaurant owners to give them solid strategies for surviving the current uncharted Covid waters. Rev provides he insight on where the restaurant industry will go from here. Whatever happens to the future of the restaurant industry, count on David “Rev” Ciancio to be fully engaged. His passion for food and the establishments that serve it drive him every day. His career story is a testament to how finding and embracing your passion can propel your career forward even through an unforeseen future. Grab a snack and have a listen!

What role should marketing play the sales cycle? “Every role,” says David "Rev" Ciancio, Head of Revenue Marketing at Branded Strategic Marketing. Rev and host Chris Smith take a new approach this week and look at sales leadership from a marketing perspective, exploring how marketing and sales can work together to acquire and retain customers.  Rev realized sales wasn't his calling early in his career. He wasn't a bad salesman, but much preferred coaching other members of his team and looking at the big picture. He used his experience in sales to jump into marketing strategy, and has been working to integrate the marketing and sales departments in every company he's worked for since.  Rev offers actionable steps to build a strong relationship between marketing and sales teams, with a focus on every step in the process from lead generation to customer retention. From co-writing sales sequences to encouraging sales teams to guide marketing content, Rev has solutions that you can implement tomorrow to get great results.  Quotes: “I'm a believer in understanding the customer journey and aligning all of your efforts towards that” (11:06-11:18) “Any department that touches revenue... should have a dotted or even a direct line to marketing” (18:27-18:35) Links:  https://www.brandedstrategic.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/branded-strategic/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/revciancio/   Empellor CRM Website chris.smith@empellorcrm.com Empellor CRM LinkedIn   Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing

“You have to think of your marketing on every channel today. If you're a restaurant, you can't just put a picture of garlic knots on Instagram.” This week on the On Brand podcast, we got to talk about food and marketing — specifically content marketing in the food and hospitality industry — with the one, the only David “Rev” Ciancio. About Rev Ciancio Rev Ciancio is a Senior Marketing, Branding and Digital Strategist with 20 years of experience in digital marketing and business development, specializing in hospitality marketing, content and local SEO. He has led many clients to new levels of local, national and international success in the hospitality, financial service and entertainment sectors. He is also former agency owner as well as a former New York City bar owner. Rev is an “expert burger taster” and pens hospitality and marketing tips on his Instagram @revciancio as well as his LinkedIn Profile. Episode Highlights What's Rev's deal with burgers? As I answered Rev's call on Skype, I noticed that his handle was 'burgerconquest.' Rev's history as a marketer began by writing food and hospitality content.  What about restaurant content marketing? Rev shared the three times of year that online menus get the most views and what you can do to create more content around these critical times of year. “You have to think of your marketing in every channel.” As Rev noted on the podcast, two thirds of your marketing is not controlled by you. Think Google Reviews and Yelp. Rev advises businesses to make sure your info is up to date — everywhere. And don't forget the three factors that drive local search —  distance, relevance, and prominence.  What brand has made Rev smile recently? “Jay Baer at Convince and Convert. His content ensures my future as a marketer.” However, he had to throw in a burger brand as well — White Castle! To learn more, check out his Instagram @revciancio as well as his LinkedIn profile.
