Podcasts about Digital marketing

What does it take to revitalize a 150-year-old company? Jim's guest this week, Conny Kalcher, has done it twice. First at LEGO during its historic turnaround, and now at Zurich Insurance as their Group Chief Customer Officer, where she's proving that empathy is not a soft skill but a strategic advantage. Conny spent 33 years at LEGO, where she helped navigate one of the most dramatic brand turnarounds in modern business history. Then in 2019, she joined Zurich Insurance, a company with over 200-country reach and a $100 billion market capitalization, to lead global customer loyalty and advocacy at a time when trust and humanity matter more than ever. And since joining, Conny has helped drive millions of new customers, a 35% increase in brand value, and measurable improvements in satisfaction and retention.This is a conversation about renewing legacy brands, leading cultural transformation, and proving that empathy is not just good for people, it's good for business.—Learn more, request a free pass, and register at iab.com/newfrontsPromo Code for free access: CMOPODNEW26*Note: promo code is exclusive for brand and agency, brand marketers and media buyers.

The future of digital marketing isn't about more content; it's about deeper connections.In an age saturated with AI-generated content, how do businesses ensure their message resonates and builds trust?Wes and I discuss this shift, and that artificial intelligence is forcing us to be more human. For founder-led businesses, this means reflecting the founder's values and convictions. Small businesses have a distinct advantage here, and large corporations struggle to replicate this personal touch but as AI models become more sophisticated, the challenge for businesses shifts from mere content quantity & quality to genuine quality and uniquely human branding.The strategic move is to focus on what makes your brand uniquely human: case studies, core values, proprietary models, and authentic storytelling. The shift is clear: a strong personal brand, combined with the company brand, creates significant market advantage. This moves beyond traditional lead magnets (like free e-books) which are losing relevance as AI provides instant information. Instead, focus on demonstrating expertise and reliability through genuine connections.How are you leveraging your unique human element to cut through the digital noise and build trust?The main insights you'll get from this episode are :Uncertainty about the future is the death knell for a business' value and a good motivation to adapt; the founder-led business model requires communication with and the involvement of other team members to bring about change.An AI world demands constant reinvention and questioning; it is difficult to stand out in the marketplace unless a business is unique, but AI means we crave the human element of collaboration and authenticity. It is all about creating relationships/human connection – the goal of social media is to get people off social media onto the website, and the goal of a website is to get people off the website into a human conversation (to make a sale).Smaller, founder-led businesses can leverage advantages and opportunities that are not open to large businesses, with the combination of both a personal and a company brand providing a valuable competitive edge.Privacy is paramount now; LLMs surface the best information, which means companies must provide genuine IP; the tools will get better at presenting this information to the right people at the right time = quality over quantity.LLMs are challenging language and our use of it, and it is important to have a consistent voice and language (style guide) - tools can help by writing copy based on prompts but having your own unique language is powerful. In terms of visibility and branding in a crowded market, it is imperative to focus on the most relevant platforms (e.g. LinkedIn for B2B) and use tools to syndicate out to other platforms - every business has a human story.A high-performing website needs a UX that guides the eye through the core message in order to grasp it and interact with it – vibe coding will advance to meet the needs of website design, where tech provides the labour and the human adds the value (moving from content to process). In the age of LLMs, businesses must build authority, trust and reputation, and indicate their sustainability; visits...

Host Adrienne Wilkerson welcomes John Sanders of RevKey Digital to discuss how AI is changing Google paid ads, especially for mental health practices. John shares his background managing Google Ads since 2015, how his wife's testing psychology practice led him into the mental health niche, and how he founded Rev Key in 2018, now supporting mostly mental health clients with a team of nine account managers. They explain the shift from keyword-based exact match search campaigns to intent-driven targeting, noting that search campaign cost-per-click has often doubled in the last 18 months, making traditional search less viable. John describes using performance max more frequently due to lower CPCs and broader top-of-funnel reach, while emphasizing the need for tight guardrails to prevent low-converting placements like display and to stop auto-generated assets such as poor AI-created videos. The conversation covers why agencies should avoid letting AI write ad copy in regulated mental health contexts, predictions that ads will eventually appear alongside Gemini and within AI search experiences due to Google's ad-driven revenue model, and the current AI market dynamics with ChatGPT holding major share. John also offers advice for choosing an agency: clients should own their Google Ads account and expect clear, monthly communication beyond reports to connect ad performance to real business outcomes.

From failing fast in an early sales role to decades later becoming the consultant companies call when their sales teams need clarity and consistency, his journey spans industries, downturns, and hard-earned lessons.In this episode, Danny and Menashe explore why quality matters more than quantity in sales activity, how to close the gap between sales and marketing, and why trust is built through mindset, not tactics. Menashe's experience building from scratch, navigating the 2008 market crash, and selling in every industry he entered delivers insights that resonate far beyond a textbook sales story.Episode Highlights: Quality over quantity in sales isn't just a nice idea, it's the difference between burning through thousands of garbage leads and building a pipeline that actually converts.The perfect day is today because there's never a perfect time to start, and waiting for ideal conditions means you'll never begin.Sales and marketing aren't separate teams competing for budget and credit, they're one system where marketing makes the promise and sales keeps it.Building trust isn't a tactic you deploy to close deals, it's a philosophical approach to how you show up in every conversation.The most valuable learning happens when things go wrong, not when they go right, because growth comes from what didn't work.Pipeline feeds the funnel, and you're the bus driver who decides who gets on, where they sit, and which stop they get off at.Episode Links: Menashe Friedman on LinkedInM.

In this solo episode of Hustle Inspires Hustle, Alex Quin breaks down how money in the music industry hasn't disappeared—it has shifted. Traditional spending on radio, press, tours, and long-term artist development is shrinking, while budgets are moving toward platforms that already control daily attention, such as live streaming, creator networks, gaming, sports, and podcasting. He explains that time-based engagement now drives ROI, meaning artists and brands must compete for consistent attention rather than rely on legacy systems. The episode emphasizes that this isn't a collapse of music, but a reallocation of resources toward where audiences spend the most time.Episode Outline: [00:00:00] Introduction – The quiet shift changing money in music [00:00:28] Traditional music industry spending patterns [00:01:05] Reduced upfront artist development and cautious budgets [00:01:27] Where the money actually moved [00:01:52] Music competing for attention across platforms [00:02:24] Live streaming vs. music streaming explained [00:02:48] Drake and time-based cultural presence [00:03:15] Creator ecosystems attracting major budgets [00:03:34] Fewer development deals and shorter promo cycles [00:03:55] Offline impact: concerts, merch, and selective spending [00:04:18] Questions about leverage, time, and behavior [00:04:36] Final takeaway: It's a reallocation, not a collapse [00:04:44] Call to action and closingWisdom Nuggets:Attention Is the New Currency: Money follows behavior. If audiences are spending hours on live streams and creator platforms, that's where brands will invest. Cultural relevance now depends on time earned, not legacy status.Consistency Beats Tradition: Release cycles used to dominate marketing budgets. Now, consistent daily engagement outperforms one-time promotional pushes. Platforms that hold attention every day win long-term investment.Shorter Runways Demand Smarter Strategy: With fewer long-term development deals, artists must think like businesses. Ownership of audience and engagement metrics matter more than ever.Competition Is Broader Than Ever: Music is no longer competing only with other artists. It competes with gaming, live streamers, podcasts, and sports content for the same screen time.Reallocation Isn't Collapse: Industries evolve. When money shifts, it creates opportunity for those who adapt. The key question becomes: are you building behaviors that attract investment?Power Quotes"Music used to dominate cultural attention by default. Now it has to compete for it." - Alex Quin"Money hasn't left entertainment. It's become more selective." - Alex QuinConnect With the Podcast Host Alex Quin:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/alexquin)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/mralexquin)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mralexquin)Website: (https://alexquin.com)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@mralexquin)Our CommunityInstagram: (https://www.instagram.com/hustleinspireshustle)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/HustleInspires)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/company/hustle-inspires-hustle)Website: (https://hustleinspireshustle.com)*This page may contain affiliate links or sponsored content.

In this masterclass episode, Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS delivers an in-depth exploration of web sales optimization (CRO - conversation rate optimization) through strategic search engine marketing (SEM). The episode focuses on the critical relationship between website speed and conversion rates, revealing how technical optimization directly impacts sales performance. Favour emphasizes that web sales are fundamentally a result of web speed, explaining that websites loading slower than 3 seconds can decrease conversion rates by at least 7%, with compounding effects reaching 20% for sites taking 10 seconds to load.The discussion covers comprehensive website optimization strategies, including image optimization (recommending WebP format over JPEG/PNG), structured data implementation with schema markup, and the importance of optimizing every website element from headers and footers to file names and internal linking structures. Favour introduces the concept of treating URLs like seeds that need time to grow, recommending a 2-3 month planning horizon for content strategy.The masterclass also explores collection pages, category optimization, and the strategic use of content hubs to create pathways for user navigation. Favour shares practical tools and resources for keyword research and competitive analysis, while emphasizing the importance of submitting websites to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools for maximum visibility. The episode concludes with actionable advice on implementing these strategies either independently or through professional SEO consultation.Book SEO Services | Quick Links for Social Business>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book SEO Services with Favour Obasi-ike⁠>> Visit Work and PLAY Entertainment website to learn about our digital marketing services>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> Read SEO Articles>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the We Don't PLAY Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> Purchase Flaev Beatz Beats Online>> Favour Obasi-ike Quick Links

Happy Valentine's Day! Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS breaks down proven strategies for monetizing and segmenting business email lists using platforms like Flodesk. Learn why email marketing delivers $36-$40 ROI for every dollar spent compared to social media, how to segment contacts based on behavior and engagement, and the technical foundations (DNS, backlinks, deliverability) that make campaigns successful. Discover workflows for turning subscribers into buyers through strategic segmentation, behavioral targeting, and quality-over-quantity content delivery.Episode Key Takeaways1. Email Marketing ROI Dominates Social Media – For every $1 spent on email marketing, businesses earn $36-$40 back, far exceeding social media returns.2. Segmentation Drives Conversions – Segment email lists by link clicks, engagement levels, and business vs. personal contacts to send targeted content that resonates.3. Technical Setup Matters – Proper DNS configuration, Google Search Console integration, and backlink strategies improve deliverability and SEO performance.4. Quality Over Quantity – Sending fewer, high-value emails with 15-minute read times generates more revenue than frequent, low-engagement blasts.5. Behavioral Targeting Wins – Track website behavior and email interactions to create personalized follow-up sequences that match subscriber intent.Episode Timestamps[00:00] Introduction: Monetizing and segmenting email lists[02:00] Why email outperforms social media ($36 ROI per $1)[05:00] Building business email lists as valuable assets[10:00] DNS, deliverability, and technical foundations[15:00] Segmentation strategies using link tracking[24:00] Creating consistency through targeted workflows[27:00] Backlinks and SEO benefits from email campaigns[32:00] Calculating engagement: 50 touchpoints = $36 product[45:00] Flowdesk features and automation workflows[68:00] Frequency matters: Quality beats quantity[71:00] Behavioral targeting and site tracking integrationPodcast Episode FAQsQ: What email marketing platform does Favour recommend?A: Favour specifically discusses Flowdesk for its segmentation capabilities, checkout features, and workflow automation that allow precise targeting based on subscriber behavior.Q: How often should I send emails to my list?A: Quality beats quantity. Favour sent only one email in February but generated revenue, leads, and referrals. Ask your audience through polls how often they want to hear from you.Q: What's the difference between business and personal email contacts?A: Business emails (domains like @company.com) engage differently and should be segmented separately. They're checked 3-5 times daily and represent higher-value prospects.Q: How do I improve email deliverability?A: Configure DNS records properly (A, TXT, CNAME), connect to Google Search Console, build backlinks through anchor text in emails, and maintain engagement with quality content.Q: What is behavioral targeting in email marketing?A: Tracking which links subscribers click, what pages they visit on your website, and how they engage with content to send personalized follow-up sequences that match their interests.Memorable Quotes by Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS"For every dollar that you spend on email, you get $36 to $40 back compared to social media where you may not get up to a dollar back or $2 back.""The best person to tell about what you wrote on your website is your contact list—the same way the best person to tell about something is your best friend.""I can have 50% open rate and no sales, that's vanity. But if you have 10-20% and that gives you more revenue because it's the right audience and it's segmented, then it helps a lot.""Don't just post on your website and expect magic to happen, abracadabra. You have to be intentional, you have to be factual.""Quality beats quantity. If you're actually able to capture that first party data and implement site tracking, it's very powerful to segment those people and send them follow-up messages."Book SEO Services | Quick Links for Social Business>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book SEO Services with Favour Obasi-ike⁠>> Visit Work and PLAY Entertainment website to learn about our digital marketing services>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> Read SEO Articles>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the We Don't PLAY Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> Purchase Flaev Beatz Beats Online>> Favour Obasi-ike Quick LinksSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Summary In this episode of the AI for Sales podcast, host Chad Burmeister speaks with Justin Trombold, an expert in generative AI and sales strategy. They discuss the importance of AI readiness, the transformation of customer experience through AI, and the balance between automation and personalization in sales.

They target the same customer base and operate in similar ways. For example, if you sell red roses, other florists selling red roses are your direct competitors.Indirect competitors are businesses that offer different products or services but satisfy the same customer need or compete for the same market share. Using the flower example, supermarkets and farmer's markets selling flowers would be indirect competitors to a specialized florist.2. How do I find out who my competitors are?Favour recommends using several competitive analysis tools:SimilarWeb: For website traffic and audience insightsSocialBlade: For social media analytics and competitor trackingSparkToro: For audience intelligence and content discoveryYou can also identify competitors by searching for your target keywords on Google and seeing which businesses rank for those terms. Consider both national, international, local, and regional competitors depending on your market scope.3. Should I focus on Google or Instagram for my business?According to Favour, Google is the most unsaturated platform because it's based on search intent—people actively looking for specific solutions. Instagram is a feed-based platform better suited for brand awareness and showcasing visual results (before/after transformations, product demonstrations).Best approach: Use both strategically. Google captures pre-purchase intent (people researching solutions), while Instagram provides post-purchase validation and builds brand awareness. Having a website connected to your Instagram profile adds credibility and improves your off-page SEO.4. What's more important: ranking or performance?Favour emphasizes that performance is more important than ranking. Rankings fluctuate constantly (like stock prices or gas prices), but performance focuses on long-term outcomes:How quickly can you serve customers?What value do you provide beyond just appearing in search results?Can customers find your information when they need it?Anyone can rank with AI-generated content today, but what makes your business different is the experience, speed, and value you deliver to customers.5. How do I approach SEO if I have no competition in my field?When you're in a niche market with little to no competition, Favour suggests:Reverse engineer your success: If you're getting traction on Instagram, create corresponding website content (10 Instagram posts = 10 website articles)Focus on search volume: Research if there's search demand on Google for your servicesBuild credibility: Having a website validates your business more than social media aloneCreate content ecosystems: Connect your social media to your website through embedding posts and cross-linking6. Why is having a website important if I already have Instagram?A website provides business validation and credibility. As Favour's example illustrated: if three businesses offer the same service but only one has a website, customers will trust the one with a website because it demonstrates investment in human resources, infrastructure, and long-term commitment.Additionally, a website enables off-page SEO—when your Instagram links to your website, you're building relationship models between platforms that improve your overall search visibility.7. What is pre-purchase vs. post-purchase intent?Pre-purchase intent: Customers researching before buying (e.g., reading Amazon reviews, comparing products on Google)Post-purchase intent: Customers who already bought and need guidance (e.g., watching YouTube tutorials on how to use an air fryer they purchased)Understanding this distinction helps you create appropriate content for each stage of the customer journey. Google and review sites capture pre-purchase intent, while platforms like YouTube and Instagram serve post-purchase needs.8. Should I run ads if people can't find my business organically?Favour advises: Don't run ads first if people can't find you organically. If the answer to "Will they find my business without ads?" is no, then focus on building organic visibility first through SEO and content creation.If people can already find you organically, then running ads becomes more cost-effective because you're amplifying existing brand awareness rather than starting from zero.9. What are applied SEO marketing tactics?Applied SEO refers to search everywhere optimization—not just optimizing for Google, but creating a comprehensive presence across all platforms where customers might search:Google searchInstagram searchYouTube searchSocial media platformsReview sitesLocal directoriesIt's about understanding customer behavior across multiple touchpoints and ensuring your business is discoverable wherever customers are looking.Additional Resources MentionedSimilarWeb: Competitive website analyticsSocialBlade: Social media statistics and trackingSparkToro: Audience research and insightsChatGPT: AI content generation tool (mentioned in context of ranking vs. performance)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Hustle Inspires Hustle, Alex Quin breaks down how artificial intelligence took center stage during Super Bowl 2026 advertising, based on reporting by Trishla Ostwal via Adweek. With 23% of all Super Bowl ads featuring AI, this episode explores the sharp divide between companies advertising AI products and brands using AI behind the scenes. From brand positioning to user adoption data and emotional audience response, Alex highlights why AI isn't just a marketing trend—it's becoming marketing infrastructure.Episode Outline:[00:00] Intro – Why Super Bowl ads matter in marketing strategy[00:28] AI stats: 15 of 65 ads (23%) featured AI, via iSpot[01:05] Two types of advertisers: AI companies vs consumer brands using AI[01:45] Awareness vs usage: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude adoption stats[02:23] eMarketer projections: ChatGPT usage through 2029[02:50] Audience reactions: likability, purchase intent, emotional response[03:20] Why clarity is the new advantage in crowded conversations[03:30] Final question for marketers + show wrap-upWisdom Nuggets:Normalization Shifts the Strategy: Once a product like AI becomes normalized, the marketing challenge shifts from “What is it?” to “Why should I care?” That shift demands smarter messaging.Adoption Takes Time—Even with Awareness : Even though ChatGPT has high name recognition, actual usage is still catching up. Marketers need to respect the adoption curve and tailor campaigns accordingly.Advertising ≠ Explaining : There's a difference between showcasing a product and making people understand it. That gap can define success or failure, especially at the Super Bowl scale.Reaction Is the Real Metric : With massive spend and reach almost guaranteed, what matters most is how people react emotionally. The most memorable campaigns connect, not just broadcast.Clarity Wins in Noisy Markets : When many brands say similar things, the one with the clearest and most relatable message sticks. Clear beats clever when everyone's shouting.Power Quotes“Even with massive awareness, usage still grows in stages—and that gap matters.” - Alex Quin“AI is now everywhere during the Super Bowl. The next question is—who's actually advertising it?” - Alex QuinConnect With the Podcast Host Alex Quin:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/alexquin)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/mralexquin)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mralexquin)Website: (https://alexquin.com)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@mralexquin)Our CommunityInstagram: (https://www.instagram.com/hustleinspireshustle)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/HustleInspires)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/company/hustle-inspires-hustle)Website: (https://hustleinspireshustle.com)*This page may contain affiliate links or sponsored content.
