Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking to find ways to improve your marketing? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews Kelli, a former litigator who left toxic law firm environments to launch her own trademark law practice. Kelli shares how she built a supportive, flexible firm culture and leveraged her marketing skills—especially on social media platforms like Threads and Instagram—to attract clients. Kelli provides some insight about working in toxic law firms and her approach to creating a better work environment for herself and her staff. Kelli worked in a space where she needed to prioritize work to the point where there was no acknowledgement of good work or a reasonable work-life balance. For Kelli, this created an unhealthy relationship to her work and having feelings of overwhelm and burnout. For her staff, she ensures everyone is excited about what they do and love coming to work each day.Now in a healthier environment, Kelli shares how she brands and markets her firm to get clients. She leans on a casual approach to branding, which is the opposite of law firms in general. Kelli uses creativity and uniqueness to brand her firm by creating a fun and fresh website to showcase what she is selling. Also, leveraging social media platforms, like Threads has been helpful in engaging with clients.Listen in to learn more!1:02 Identifying Toxic Law Firm Culture6:03 Transitioning from Litigation to Transactional Practice10:05 Advice for Lawyers Switching Practice Areas15:29 Non-Traditional Law Firm Branding and Marketing18:06 Website and Marketing Differentiation20:07 Social Media Strategy and Client Conversion23:54 Threads as a Key Engagement Platform30:59 Using AI and ChatGPT for Marketing41:35 Platform Choice: Why Threads Wins52:07 Mixing Personal and Professional ContentTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

Content generation is the most overhyped AI use case in marketing. Dave Steer, CMO at Webflow, argues that marketers are focusing too narrowly on AI as a content creation tool rather than exploring its broader strategic potential. He advocates for building agentic AI workflows that orchestrate customer experiences and automate complex marketing processes. Steer emphasizes creating sophisticated automation systems where marketers become editors of AI output rather than manual content creators.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Penn State Football isn't just a sport; it's a tradition, a community, and a way of life. That same mindset should guide how we think about B2B marketing.That's why in this episode, we're taking lessons from Penn State's legacy with the help of our special guest Jill Ransome, SVP of Marketing and Communications at Unite Us.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from building a brand people rally behind, leaning into differentiation, and playing the long game with consistency to drive lasting impact.About our guest, Jill RansomeJill Ransome is a seasoned marketing executive with over 20 years of experience leading brand, communications, and growth strategies for technology and software companies. Currently SVP of Marketing at Unite Us, Jill previously served as Chief Marketing Officer at Jitterbit, where she led global brand transformation and demand generation efforts. She's spent much of her career in high-growth environments, bringing a passion for storytelling, strategic execution, and building scalable marketing engines. Jill holds a B.S. in Global Marketing from Pennsylvania State University and lives in Fairfield, Connecticut.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Penn State Football:Build a brand people rally behind. Penn State thrives on pride, emotion, and community, and Jill says B2B brands need the same. “Build a brand that your fans, your followers, your constituents really believe in and rally behind. What Penn State does really well is it's consistent. It's emotional and it's human.” Even in B2B, you need advocates who feel connected enough to share, refer, and champion your story.Lean into differentiation. Just as Penn State owns its “Linebacker U” reputation, companies must find what sets them apart. “From a marketing strategy perspective, you always need to be… thinking about what is your differentiation in the market that's going to set your brand apart.” In crowded B2B categories, leaning into your unique story is what attracts the right buyers.Play the long game with consistency. Penn State football hasn't changed its brand for decades, and that repetition builds equity. Jill points out: “They have been the same navy, blue and white design for decades upon decades… it comes back to brand… You don't see success overnight. It's something that's built over time with consistency.” Marketing results don't happen instantly; they come from committing to your identity and showing up over time.Quote“ I think good marketers are great storytellers, but you can't be a great storyteller unless you're a good listener. You have to listen and learn from your buyers. You have to listen and learn from your frontline. You have to listen and learn from the world around you.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Jill Ransome, SVP of Marketing and Communications at Unite Us[01:53] Why Penn State Football?[02:50] Role of SVP of Marketing at Unite Us[03:53] Penn State Football: Tradition and Identity[19:08] B2B Marketing Lessons from Penn State Football[26:39] Brand and Marketing Strategies at Unite Us[29:47] Effective Content and Campaigns[36:24] Advice for CMOs[38:02] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Jill on LinkedInLearn more about Unite UsAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Are you feeling exhausted by the endless content creation treadmill, using AI to pump out even more posts while your soul feels increasingly disconnected from your business? Do you sense that something fundamental is shifting in how we approach visibility and marketing, but can't quite put your finger on what's coming next? What if the real problem isn't that you need to create more content faster, but that you're performing success rather than embodying it?In this episode, I explore the shadow patterns playing out as businesses adopt AI, why churning out twice as much content in half the time is amplifying burnout rather than solving it, and what I foresee emerging in 2026-2027 that will fundamentally change how we think about visibility and impact. I unpack why the argument about "real vs. fake" AI usage is just artificial polarization, and reveal how finding your unique style, rather than replicating guru templates, will become the only way to create meaningful impact in an increasingly noisy world.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:Why using AI to double your content output is actually amplifying the pattern of soul exhaustion rather than solving your visibility challenges, and how the being behind the business, not the volume of content, determines your true impact and sustainability.The artificial polarization trap where people draw fake lines in the sand about AI usage (like accepting AI for writing but rejecting it for visuals), and why this performative stance misses the real issue of intentionality versus automation in how we show up.Why the guru culture of "look at me, I sold this much" and cookie-cutter marketing templates is already falling away, and how developing your unique style through internal work and patient mastery will become essential for creating impact in 2026-2027 and beyond.How to recognize when you're performing success through rigid posting schedules and platform-hopping versus creating from genuine intentionality, and why questioning the way we use channels, not the channels themselves, reveals the path to business that actually feels good behind the scenes.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

Ever wondered how someone could make half their annual photography income in just one week? That's exactly what happened to Megan O'Hare when she ran her first strategic Black Friday promotion.In this episode, I'm sitting down with Megan O'Hare, the powerhouse behind The Photo Project—a course that teaches moms how to organize their digital photo chaos. We're diving deep into how Megan went from making around $7,000 on her first attempt at a Black Friday sale to crushing it with $51,000 the following year using my Black Friday in a Box strategy. She's pulling back the curtain on exactly how she structures her promotions, why her done-for-you service sells out twice a year, and how she's built a business model that allows her to barely touch social media while still growing her email list and revenue consistently.This conversation is packed with strategy gold, including why Megan limits her high-ticket one-to-one offers to just two sale periods per year, how she's made certain products available ONLY during Black Friday (talk about built-in urgency!), and why 95% of her done-for-you clients are people who already bought her course but decided they'd rather just have her do it.What you'll learn:How Megan went from $7K to $51K in Black Friday sales by implementing a strategic promotion planThe exact structure of her 5-day Black Friday sale and why limiting availability creates massive demandWhy her done-for-you service clients are almost always previous course buyers (and what that means for YOUR business model)How she runs a summer sale using the same Black Friday strategy for an additional revenue boostHer approach to making certain products available ONLY during promotional periods to drive urgencyWhy lead generation ads are her "cost of doing business" and how she thinks about ROI differentlyThe truth about her email marketing strategy (spoiler: it's not perfect, and that's okay)How she's structured pricing for her done-for-you service to avoid awkward money conversationsResources Mentioned in this episode:Black Friday in a Box: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/black-friday The Photo Project: https://thephotoproject.co/ Megan O'Hare on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oharephotos/ Your Next Steps:Work with Me: https://www.gemmabonhamcarter.com/programsWhat I Use to Run My 7-Figure Business: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/toolsConnect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/gemma.bonhamcarter Support the show

From the settings menu, select Advanced Search. ◦ The direct link provided in the session is: google.com/advanced_search.• Google's Broader Initiatives: Favour encourages a deeper look at Google's footer content, pointing out links that reveal the company's operational principles and corporate goals, such as How Search Works (which details organizing information, ranking, testing, and spam detection) and a section on sustainability, which states a goal to "collectively reduce 1 gigaton of their carbon equivalent emissions annually by 2030."Case Study: SEO Strategy for a "Horror Filmmaker"The session's central tutorial is a live case study using a search term provided by a participant, "P," who identifies as a "disabled horror filmmaker."• Initial Search Analysis: ◦ A standard Google search for horror filmmaker yields results focused on popular movies and lists of famous male directors (e.g., "the best horror film um directors"). ◦ Google's auto-complete suggestions include related commercial and informational queries like horror filming techniques, horror movie structure, and horror movie checklist.• Using Advanced Search: ◦ Favour inputs "horror filmmakers" into the "this exact word or phrase" field in Advanced Search. This action automatically wraps the term in quotation marks in the standard search bar, significantly refining the results.• Identifying a Niche Opportunity: ◦ The speaker observes a critical gap in the search results: "I noticed that out of all these names that I see, there's no woman that is on the list." ◦ This observation is corroborated by Google's suggested search bubbles, which include terms like list, female, and top. The primary search result for "female horror directors" is from Rotten Tomatoes.• Strategic Recommendations for "P": ◦ Content Creation: It is recommended that "P" create content pillars on her website focused on female horror directors and related topics from the "People also ask" section of Google's results. This would help establish her as an authority in an underserved niche. ◦ Market Share: The goal of this content strategy is to capture a "market share" of the search traffic for these terms. By creating articles like "Here are some influential horror filmmakers we have in our time," her brand can appear alongside established names. ◦ Commercial Intent: The strategy aims to convert informational searches into commercial opportunities. After providing valuable information, the website can prompt visitors to "Book a call with us" or inquire about "horror filmmaking services."Thank you for listening to this episode!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 the Brand Intelligence Podcast, host William Tyree speaks with Jessica Germain, VP of Marketing at My Code, about the company's bold and award-winning rebrand. Originally founded as H Code, a Hispanic-focused digital media platform, MyCode expanded its reach to include Black, AAPI, and LGBTQ audiences while adding new offerings such as research, a creative studio, and a robust creator network. But as consumer identity and cultural affinities grew more complex, the company recognized the need for a brand that reflected intersectionality and spoke to the full spectrum of modern culture. Jessica shares how the rebrand positioned MyCode as a culture marketing platform that helps brands decode cultural shifts, develop authentic storytelling, and direct campaigns to the right communities. She explains why timing was critical, how the market was evolving, and what it takes to shift from demographic targeting to cultural connection. This conversation highlights the strategic thinking, creativity, and market awareness behind a successful rebrand — and shows how MyCode is helping major brands like Sephora and the NFL connect with growth audiences in powerful new ways.

Public RSS Feeds vs Private RSS Feeds for Best Podcast SEO Distribution Practices with Favour Obasi-Ike | Sign up for exclusive SEO insights.In this podcast episode, Favour provides an extensive comparison between public podcast RSS feeds and private podcast RSS feeds, offering guidance on how to choose the appropriate option for one's needs, particularly for business growth. A public podcast is openly accessible on various platforms and directories like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, serving as a powerful tool for brand building, content marketing, and increasing accessibility. Conversely, a private podcast is characterized by requiring authentication for access, making it suitable for exclusive content, internal corporate training, or paid subscription communities, with platforms like Supercast and Hello Audio recommended for this purpose. Favour stresses that consistent content publication and maximizing RSS feed distribution to various directories are crucial for public podcast success, while noting that starting with a public podcast is often advisable before transitioning to a private, often monetized, model.The Public RSS Feed: Maximizing Reach and DiscoverabilityA public podcast RSS feed is a publicly listed show available on third-party platforms and directories. It is designed for open access and broad distribution.• Definition: A public feed is accessible to anyone on podcast players and websites without requiring a login or payment. It operates on a one-to-many distribution model, where a single RSS feed from a hosting platform is submitted to numerous podcast directories.• Analogy: The structure is comparable to a website, which has a backend hosting provider (e.g., GoDaddy, Hostinger) and a front-facing content management system (CMS) or website that users interact with. In podcasting, the hosting platform holds the audio files, and the directories (players) make them accessible to listeners.• Mechanism of Reach: The key to a public podcast's success is submitting its RSS feed to as many directories as possible. Each directory is a separate website or application, and being listed on 30 different players means 30 distinct online entities are linking back to the podcast, significantly enhancing its digital footprint and discoverability.The Private RSS Feed: Monetization and ExclusivityA private podcast RSS feed is intentionally not listed on public directories and is structured to control access.• Definition: A private feed is ineligible for public listing because it requires authentication—a user must sign up, log in, or pay to access the content. This creates a secure and exclusive listening experience.• Analogy: This model is comparable to subscription-based streaming services like Netflix or Amazon Prime. Users pay a fee to access a database of proprietary content. A private podcast operates on the same principle, offering exclusive audio or video content to a select audience.• Mechanism of Access: Access is granted only after a specific action is taken by the user, typically involving payment or registration. This makes it a powerful tool for delivering premium content, courses, internal communications, or community-specific updates.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> Need SEO Services?
