Podcasts about Digital marketing

In today's episode, I sit down with entrepreneur and inventor Sylvester Raymond, founder of Piñata Digital Marketing and Signal to Sale, to talk about building technology that solves real business problems. We discuss why humility creates opportunities, how listening to experienced mentors can change the direction of a company, and the challenge of explaining complex technology in simple terms. Sylvester shares how his ad-free monetization platform evolved into Signal to Sale, a system that helps businesses identify buyers at the right moment instead of wasting time on cold prospecting. We also explore AI, predictive data, sales timing, and revenue velocity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Some marketing ideas capture attention for a moment. The very best ones become part of culture. And you could say...that's priceless.Recorded live at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Jim sits down with Jill Kramer, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at Mastercard, to discuss what it's like to lead one of the world's most iconic brands. Mastercard, known globally for its “Priceless” platform and its role at the center of everyday commerce, has spent decades building trust, emotional connection, and cultural relevance across markets. After nearly a decade as Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at Accenture, where she led the company's "Let There Be Change" brand transformation, and earlier leadership roles at BBDO and DDB, Jill stepped into one of marketing's most influential positions with the responsibility of guiding Mastercard's next chapter.In this wide-ranging conversation, Jill shares her approach to earning trust as a new leader, building creative cultures where ideas can thrive, and why her philosophy of "early, ugly, often" has helped teams create better work. She also discusses how Mastercard is evolving its brand beyond payments, leaning into experiences, partnerships, and technology, and how the company is approaching AI, creator collaborations, and innovation while staying true to the timeless principles that have made it one of the most respected brands in the world.Whether you're leading a global organization or a small team, Jill offers thoughtful lessons on curiosity, creativity, change, and why the best leaders never stop learning.—This week's episode is brought to you by Infillion.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Most AI initiatives stall in experimentation mode. Dr. Fern Halper, VP and Senior Research Director for Advanced Analytics at TDWI and founder of the AI Foundations Group, explains why organizations struggle to convert AI pilots into measurable business value. The conversation covers the foundational systems required to operationalize AI beyond experimentation, the organizational readiness gaps that undermine adoption, and how to prioritize a single high-impact focus over the next 12 months to move from testing to results.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Unsere freien Stellen: https://join.com/companies/broes-media In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts geht es um eine Sache, die ich bei vielen Shopbetreibern beobachte und auch bei mir selbst kenne: die endlose To-Do-Liste, die nie leer wird, und der Satz "ich komme nicht zu den strategischen Themen, ich muss erst das Operative in den Griff kriegen". Das ist in den meisten Fällen eine Ausrede. Die Liste ist real, aber das Problem ist, dass abgepackte Päckchen, beantwortete Support-Nachrichten und der nächste Social Media Post sofort Dopamin liefern. Strategische Arbeit nicht. Du baust an einer Landingpage, optimierst Email Marketing oder testest Creatives und der Impact zeigt sich erst Wochen später, wenn er sich überhaupt zeigt. Also flüchtest du zurück in die 15-Euro-Stunden-Aufgaben, die du eigentlich abgeben oder über KI laufen lassen solltest. Ich gehe in der Folge an einem konkreten Beispiel aus meinem eigenen Alltag durch, wie ich entscheide was ich schiebe und was ich anpacke, warum die Frage nicht ist wann du Zeit findest, sondern wann du sie dir nimmst, und welche drei oder vier Hebel im Shop wirklich darüber entscheiden ob aus 30k im Monat 300k werden.

David Ebner, President and founder of Content Workshop and Chatter AI, brings 13 years of enterprise content experience and a classically trained storytelling background to explain why differentiation now determines who wins. The conversation covers a brand story framework that positions the audience as hero rather than the founder, strategic placement of human creativity across the content workflow instead of relegating it to a final QA gate, and a content ideation model that surfaces real-time, relevance-driven topics to build audience trust—particularly in high-scrutiny YMYL verticals like cybersecurity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Informational content is being absorbed by AI Overviews, leaving brands to compete on differentiation. David Ebner, President and Founder of Content Workshop and Chatter, draws on 13 years of content production for enterprise and cybersecurity clients to explain why brand storytelling now determines competitive advantage. He reframes brand story around audience transformation rather than founder origins, maps human creativity as a variable insertion point across the production workflow rather than a final approval gate, and outlines a trust-building content model that shifts from gated informational assets toward educational content aligned with real-time audience signals.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Noel gets incredibly candid about his biggest career mistake, the rise of the indie agency, and exactly how his team is using AI to save clients hundreds of thousands of dollars.Key Takeaways:The Power of Creative Violence: Why playing it safe is the riskiest move a brand can make, featuring the wild origin story of the Sissy Boy Jeans campaign.Surviving the "Bloodbath": Why traditional holding companies are failing and how freelancers and indie agencies are perfectly positioned to win.The "Nest and Swarm" Model: How to build a highly flexible, future-proof agency structure.Real AI Integration: How to use AI agents to build bespoke creative teams and drastically cut production costs for clients.Owning Your F-Ups: A deeply personal lesson in leadership, ego, and the importance of professional forgiveness.Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and share with a fellow Brand Nerd!Instagram | LinkedIn

Most founders treat fundraising like a necessary evil — something to endure, survive, and move past so they can get back to building. Jason Fishman, founder and CEO of Digital Niche Agency, has spent a decade proving that's exactly backwards.With over 500 deals under his belt and campaigns that have collectively generated hundreds of millions in revenue and capital raised, Jason breaks down how modern founders are using regulated investment crowdfunding (Reg CF, Reg A+, and Reg D) not just to fill their bank accounts, but to build armies of shareholders, brand advocates, and strategic partners. The real asset isn't the money — it's the 20,000 investors who now want you to win and will tell everyone they know.This episode is a masterclass in treating your capital raise as a full-blown marketing campaign.Key Takeaways4:14 — How Jason discovered fundraising is a marketing exercise. Working at a social gaming company in LA, he created 75 versions of a pitch deck and saw firsthand the inefficiencies — and the upside — of a well-executed raise.7:01 — Why the warm-intro VC mindset is outdated. The traditional approach limits founders to who they know. Reg CF and Reg A+ let you target anyone — including non-accredited investors — and build a shareholder base of tens of thousands.8:48 — The planning principle most founders ignore. If you need funds in a year, start today. Fundraising isn't a sprint — it requires seeding relationships and building infrastructure long before you launch.10:48 — The traffic math behind a successful Reg CF campaign. You need 50,000–100,000 visits to an offering page to generate ~1,000 investments. Understanding digital marketing metrics — not just dollars raised — is the real measure of momentum.14:37 — Reg D vs. Reg CF vs. Reg A+ — how to choose. A clear breakdown of all three exemptions: who can invest, minimum investment levels, filing complexity, timelines, and when each makes sense for your stage.22:05 — How crowdfunding creates negotiating leverage with VCs. A graphene-industry client hit their full $5M Reg CF raise in 43 days — then used that crowd as a "waiting list" to walk away from unfavorable VC terms.23:52 — Which industries work best for community-driven raises. It's not just consumer brands. B2B companies, biotech, modular homes, and AI companies are all succeeding — what matters is a compelling market narrative.28:34 — Storytelling is the real conversion lever. The 3-1-3 method: break your pitch into 3 sentences, compress to 1 sentence, then distill to 3 words. If someone can't repeat your idea at a coffee shop, they won't invest or refer.36:55 — The #1 mistake founders make when marketing a raise. Not starting early enough — and assuming the offering page will do the work. The top 10% of deals get the majority of investments; the bottom 50% do no marketing at all.40:28 — The right vs. wrong way to use AI in your raise marketing. AI slop is rampant. The rule: don't use it unless it's better than human. AI accelerates experts — it doesn't replace them.42:47 — The future of capital formation is large crowds, fast. Prediction markets, digital communities, and A-list endorsements point toward a world where raises fill overnight — whoever builds the audience first wins.Tweetable Quotes"Twenty thousand investors isn't twenty thousand line items on a cap table. It's twenty thousand people who now want you to win — and who will tell everyone they know." — Jason Fishman"The community, the audience, is actually the most valuable part. It is a marketing exercise well beyond the funds raised." — Jason Fishman"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Look at fundraising as already accomplished — then figure out the steps to get there." — Jason Fishman"The fewer words used, the better. People need to be able to understand what you do so well that they feel comfortable explaining it to someone else." — Jason Fishman"AI slop is far too prevalent. Don't use it unless it's better than human — for any software, any tool, any AI." — Jason Fishman"If I scroll your offering page and the headlines don't sell me, I'm gone. It could be the most amazing company ever — but the storytelling sold you short." — Jason Fishman"Raise money like you're building a following, not begging for a bailout." — Jeff MainsSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Your investors are your first growth channel — treat them that way. The companies winning with community raises aren't just collecting capital. They're recruiting advocates. Every shareholder is a potential referral source, customer, and word-of-mouth engine. Build your raise strategy like a customer acquisition funnel, not a one-time event.2. Plan your raise 12 months before you need the money. Fundraising has a long cycle — regulatory filings, audience warming, relationship seeding. Founders who wait until they need capital have already lost the game. Start building your investor community before your runway demands it.3. The offering page is your highest-stakes landing page. Optimize it like one. You need 50,000–100,000 visits to generate ~1,000 investments. Apply e-commerce conversion thinking: glance test, bold headlines, social proof above the fold, and clear immediacy (time-limited share prices, investment bonuses). If the headlines don't convert, the product never gets a chance.4. Simplicity isn't dumbing down — it's the highest form of clarity. Use the 3-1-3 method: 3 sentences → 1 sentence → 3 words. If your investor can explain your company at a dinner table, they will. If they can't, they won't invest — and they definitely won't refer anyone. Complexity kills conversion.5. Crowdfunding creates leverage — don't give it away too early. A crowd of investors is a negotiating asset. Founders with a demonstrated ability to raise from retail investors can walk away from unfavorable VC terms and return to the crowd. This only works if you've built the infrastructure before you need the leverage.6. Diversify your capital-raise strategy the same way you diversify your marketing stack. Don't put all your eggs in one basket — not in SEO, not in one broker-dealer, not in one VC relationship. The founders who succeed build multiple traffic sources, multiple audience touchpoints, and multiple investor pipelines working simultaneously. One channel is fragility. Multiple channels are momentum.Guest Resourcesjfishman@digitalnicheagency.comdigitalnicheagency.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jafishman/Episode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

Great brands do more than meet a need. They transform that need into desire. But in an increasingly crowded and fragmented media landscape, how can brands earn attention, turn that attention into affection, and ultimately inspire people to act?Recorded live at the Havas Café during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, this special roundtable is the first in a three-part series exploring the many dimensions of desire. Jim is joined by three marketing leaders approaching that challenge from very different industries: Manu Orssaud, Chief Marketing Officer at Duolingo;Benoit Vatere, Chief Media and Digital Commerce Officer at Liquid Death; and Oliver Walker-Jones, who leads Marketing, Communications and Brand at Joby Aviation.Together, they explore how modern brands use media to create lasting desire. Manu shares how Duolingo combines planned cultural moments with the flexibility to build stories alongside its community. The conversation explores why fun is an underrated business advantage, how brands can move quickly without chasing every cultural moment, and where AI can strengthen a company without replacing the human creativity behind great marketing. —This week's episode is brought to you by Havas and Infillion.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

AI-driven content decisions increasingly prioritize efficiency over values. David Ebner, founder of Content Workshop, examines why brands cutting teams for "AI efficiency" undermine the very productivity gains they claim to pursue. The conversation covers developing a defensible brand point of view, distinguishing values-aligned decisions from purely cost-driven ones, and reframing AI as a multiplier that scales human capacity rather than replaces it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Feel like the internet is constantly telling you your marketing is out of date? You aren't alone. This week on Digital Marketing from the Coalface, David and Julie are talking about the exhaustion of "marketing FOMO" and how tech and engineering leaders can focus on the foundations instead of chasing the next shiny object. We get into the classic debate: should you specialise or generalise? Is niching down a massive risk, or is it the absolute best way to land great clients who actually get what you do? We're also blocking out the SEO noise to talk about what actually matters with meta descriptions right now (spoiler: please stop using them as a sales pitch). Finally, Julie shares a crazy story about how she accidentally coded a custom app using Claude (despite having zero programming experience) and David explains why moving AI out of the chat window and into your actual daily tools will make your life a whole lot easier. If you're a busy decision-maker who just wants straight-talking marketing insights, this one is for you. Grab a coffee and hit play!

AI content collapses the gap between passable and good. David Ebner, President and Founder of Content Workshop and Chatter, brings 13 years of enterprise content strategy across high-stakes verticals like cybersecurity to explain why brand storytelling now separates differentiated brands from homogenized AI output. Learn how to define brand story as audience transformation rather than origin narrative, where to insert human creativity as discrete process gates rather than a single QA checkpoint, and how to structure through-line messaging across multiple buyer Personas in complex enterprise decision trees. Ebner also unpacks why trust—not sales-qualified leads—should anchor content measurement as recency-driven LLM experiences reward brands publishing against real-time audience relevance.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if the most common point of failure in your digital customer experience: the 'no results found' page, could become your greatest opportunity for conversion and discovery?Agility requires not just adopting new technologies, but fundamentally rethinking core customer interactions, like search, that have remained static for far too long. It demands a shift from rigid rules to responsive, intelligent systems that learn from and adapt to customer intent in real time.Today, we're going to talk about the evolution of on-site search. For years, it's been a functional, yet often frustrating, utility for customers. But with advancements in AI, it's transforming from a simple keyword-matching tool into a conversational discovery engine that can anticipate intent and drive a more intelligent customer experience.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Nitin Mangtani, GM and EVP of Agentforce Commerce at Salesforce.About Nitin MangtaniAbout Nitin MangtaniI am EVP & GM at Salesforce leading the Commerce Cloud and Retail Cloud team.
