What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Kelsie Dube, Director of Marketing Operations and Automation at Unanet.(00:00) - Intro (01:09) - In This Episode (05:31) - Why New Marketing Ops Leaders Should Audit Before They Act (10:09) - How to Run a Marketing Ops Audit When You Join a Company (16:04) - How to Balance a Full Audit Against Your Boss's Priorities (19:00) - How to Spot a Process Problem Disguised as a Tool Problem (23:41) - How to Surface Shadow Processes and Duplicate Tools in an Audit (31:08) - How to Choose a New Martech Tool With a Tiger Team of Power Users (35:30) - How to Turn a Marketing Ops Audit Into a Prioritized Roadmap (41:20) - How to Align Your Team on a Measurement Philosophy (44:22) - What Happens to Junior Marketing Ops When AI Eats the Entry-Level Work (49:26) - How to Turn Marketing Ops From Ticket-Takers Into Business Partners (52:40) - How to Use One Interview Question to Screen for Team Fit (56:57) - How a Marketing Ops Leader Decides What Deserves Her Energy Summary: Kelsie Dube joined Unanet and did the one thing most new ops leaders are too nervous to do: nothing, at least at first. In this episode she breaks down the 30-day audit she runs before changing a single tool, how she sorts 30-plus problems into big rocks, quick wins, and parked FY27 headaches, and why she'd rather build a "digital twin" to argue with than buy another platform. She gets into the tiger-team playbook that makes tool replacements actually stick, the measurement fight every team should have out loud, and what happens to junior marketers when AI eats the entry-level rung. It's a full field guide to walking into a new company and earning trust before you change anything, plus the interview question she uses to know if you'll thrive on her team.Kelsie's Marketing Operations Assessment Framework: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x3IJf9tHku4-fASS9AQE_F6sJ1FLK3PN/view?usp=sharingLiza Adam's Digital Twin: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/smartest-ai-teammate-youll-ever-build-liza-adams-c7rnc/About Kelsie DubeKelsie Dube is the Director of Marketing Operations and Automation at Unanet, where she joined in 2026 to rebuild the company's measurement and reporting foundation. Before that she spent 7 years at Sophos, climbing 5 roles from Marketing Operations Specialist to Director and leading the team through much of that run. She started her career in data entry, scrubbing lead lists and learning the VLOOKUPs she still uses most days, and that ground-floor view shapes how she thinks about the craft.Outside of work she's a mom of 2, an amateur basketball player, and a snowboarder who guards the hours between 5 and 7 for her kids.Why New Marketing Ops Leaders Should Audit Before They ActThe first 90 days at a new company come with a quiet dare. Ship something. Plant a flag. Prove they were right to hire you. Most new marketing ops leaders answer that dare by ripping out a tool they never liked and installing one they used at their last job, all inside the first 2 weeks.Kelsie did the opposite when she joined Unanet. Her first move was to change nothing.The reasoning was twofold. Without a real map of how work gets done, any change you make is a guess, and you'll probably aim it at the wrong target. And Unanet had said in the job description that they wanted someone who'd slow down and understand the business first, which is part of why she took the role. For a marketer who came up through ops and now leads it, that patience is the whole point. You have to understand what's happening well enough to be dangerous, she says, before you can tell anyone what to actually fix.The harder version of this is resisting your own experience. A new CMO walks in and wants a different marketing automation platform because they used one at the last company. Kelsie feels that pull too, since she's learning a few systems here for the first time. Her answer is to make the existing stack work before spending a dollar to replace it. Right now she's rebuilding how campaigns get captured and tagged to campaign members, and she's solving it with a Salesforce workflow or Power Automate instead of a purchase. Replacing the tool would cost more and probably solve less.Then comes the part nobody warns you about, the clock. Listening mode has a shelf life, and everyone, including you, is quietly counting the days until you produce something. Kelsie gave herself a hard deadline of 30 days to finish the audit, then engineered small wins into every week so the learning never looked like stalling. New hires have one thing veterans don't, an empty calendar, and she guarded it. A recurring block every Friday at 2:00 to turn that week's discoveries into something usable. One of those blocks became a 30-minute campaign taxonomy diagram she walked the leadership team through, a quick and visible proof that better structure meant better reporting down the line.The instinct to ship in week one is the most expensive habit in operations, because a fast fix aimed at the wrong problem still has to be undone later. The operators who compound value are the ones who can sit in not-knowing long enough to find the actual bottleneck.Key takeaway: Give yourself a fixed audit window, 30 days is a reasonable default, and block a standing hour each week to turn what you've learned into one small, visible win. Keep a running log of quick wins as you find them so you always have something to ship while the deeper work is still in progress.How to Run a Marketing Ops Audit When You Join a Company"Do an audit" is the most repeated and least defined phrase in marketing ops. Everyone nods along. Almost nobody can tell you what's actually in one, which funnel stages it covers, or where it starts on a Monday morning.Kelsie's version starts before day one. The moment she accepted the Unanet offer, she began mapping ownership lines: what marketing ops owns, what rev ops owns, what IT owns. She wrote out the questions she had and sent them to her leader ahead of her start date, partly out of genuine excitement and partly to get a head start on the RACI.From there it's a series of conversations that snowball. She interviews everyone from her own team to her peers to the level above to her business partners, and she ends every conversation the same way: who else should I talk to? The list never stops growing, but the patterns start to show. Along the way she confirms the systems in her swim lane against the job description, asks what she's missing, and books dedicated working sessions where someone walks her through a live task like a lead import. She records those sessions, then feeds the transcriptions to an LLM to pull out the patterns, a tip she picked up from a mentor that turns hours of shadowing into a usable roadmap.She also runs the work herself.Joining a much smaller team than she was used to, she asked people to hand her a lead import and a campaign creation task so she could run them personally. Part of it was capacity, since a director who can still execute is extra hands when the team is slammed. Part of it was fluency. As she says, a director isn't really a "do-rector," but being right there in the work is how you understand it well enough to change it later.Data privacy rides shotgun through all of this. Coming out of the cybersecurity world, she asks about data retention and opt-in policies early, then files them under "needs struct...

What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Kathleen Schaub, Author, Strategist, and Advisor in Marketing Management and Organizations.We cover:(00:00) - Intro (01:19) - In This Episode (04:45) - Why Marketing Behaves More Like Weather Than a Machine (08:49) - The Four Mindsets Marketing Leaders Need for Complex Markets (14:06) - Why ROI Doesn't Work as a Marketing Measurement (18:19) - What Causal AI Can Actually Tell You About Marketing (28:37) - Why Your Marketing Budget Works Like an Investment Portfolio (34:21) - What Marketers Should Actually Be Held Accountable For (38:49) - The Surrogation Trap Behind Single Marketing Metrics (44:09) - Why Marketing Managers Should Create Conditions Instead of Commands (50:00) - How Pace Layering Makes a Marketing Budget Adaptable (57:16) - How Intention Decides What Deserves Your Energy Summary: Marketing has spent a century pretending it's a machine you can feed cash and read like a receipt, and Kathleen Schaub is here to take that apart. She makes the case that markets behave more like weather than vending machines, walks through her 4 mindset shifts for leading in the chaos, and explains why a single north-star metric quietly wrecks your decisions. Along the way there's a butterfly in Brazil, a cucumber garden in Canada, a poker champion, and a COO who begged for the book on a cruise. If you've ever had to defend marketing ROI in a boardroom and felt the ground move under you, this conversation names what's really going on.About Kathleen SchaubKathleen Schaub is an author, strategist, and advisor focused on marketing management and organizations, working through KathleenSchaub.com. She spent 9 years leading IDC's CMO Advisory practice, where she advised hundreds of technology marketing leaders, and she's a longtime contributor to leading martech publications including CMSWire. Her work argues that markets are complex adaptive systems rather than predictable machines, and her book lays out 4 mindset shifts, investor, navigator, statistician, and ecologist, for leading marketing in a volatile world. These days she splits her time between writing, advising, passion projects, and being a grandmother of 2.Why Marketing Behaves More Like Weather Than a MachineEvery marketing leader has sat across from a finance executive who wants one thing. Put a dollar in, know what comes out. Budgets get built on that promise. Forecasts get defended on it. And every year, the results wander off somewhere the model never predicted.Kathleen has spent more than a decade explaining why that keeps happening. Her line is that marketing is not a vending machine. A vending machine is controllable and predictable. You put your money in, you press the button, you get the exact thing you chose. Executives, she says, would give almost anything for marketing to work that cleanly. Marketing never has.The weather comparison is a humbling one. We carry supercomputers in our pockets, we have decades of atmospheric data, and we still can't say for sure whether it'll rain tomorrow. Marketing runs on something messier than the atmosphere, which is people. Buyers, brands, influencers, partners, and the economy, all reacting to each other at once. Kathleen calls the result a complex system, the kind scientists study, where every interaction feeds back into the next and quietly introduces unknowns into every situation.That's the part most measurement frameworks skip over. Marketers, salespeople, and customer experience teams all work at the edge of the company, the seam where the controllable inside meets the uncontrollable outside. Their whole job is to manage, predict, and measure a world that refuses to hold still. No amount of dashboard polish changes the fact that half the inputs live outside the building.Kathleen keeps the parts of the old factory toolkit that still earn their place. The shift she wants is smaller and harder to swallow. Accept that markets are what the military calls VUCA, volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, then adopt measurement practices built for that reality instead of pretending the reality is something tamer. The methods already exist. Other fields use them every day. Marketing just hasn't bothered to translate them yet.The uncomfortable implication is that a lot of the dashboards marketing teams present with total confidence are measuring a machine that was never really there. The teams that win the next decade will be the ones who stop apologizing for uncertainty and start building for it.Key takeaway: Audit your current reporting for any number you present as a guarantee. Rewrite each one as a range or a probability, and rehearse saying "here's what's likely and here's what could move it" before your next budget review. Present every forecast as a weather report, a set of ranges you can actually defend.The 4 Mindsets Marketing Leaders Need for Complex MarketsYou can buy a new attribution platform, restructure the team, bolt on a dozen dashboards, and still land exactly where you started. Kathleen thinks she knows why. You changed your operations without changing the thing that steers them, which is your mindset. She treats mindset as the director of every action a team takes. Leave it untouched, and every operational upgrade delivers roughly the same results you've always had.Her favorite way to explain this comes from Buddhism. Your mind is the ox, and the cart is everything the ox drags behind it, every outcome your marketing produces.The leverage is quieter than it looks. Change your mindset and the dozens of small decisions you make every day start bending, even slightly, and over enough decisions you end up miles from where the old direction would have taken you. That's why the mindset has to move first. The 4 she recommends all come from worlds that are genuinely volatile and complex, but they're worlds anyone can picture, and each one maps onto something marketing leaders already wrestle with.Investor: stop treating the budget like a cost center you spend down, and start treating it like a portfolio you risk for a better future return., Navigator: change the relationship between your plan and your measurement, adapting like a pilot or a sailor who reads the conditions in front of them instead of clinging to the route., Statistician: give up the hunt for certainty and accept that everything in the human and natural world runs on probability. Kathleen calls this the hardest of the 4 because our brains hate it., Ecologist: manage the conditions people work in, because behavior arises from the intersection of an individual and the context around them, so managing the person by themselves only covers half of it.Read them together and a pattern shows up. Every one asks you to trade the illusion of control for the ability to adapt. That trade is where most transformation efforts quietly die, because swapping tools is easy and swapping beliefs is not.Key takeaway: Before you approve the next platform or reorg, write down the belief driving it in one sentence. If that belief still assumes marketing is predictable and controllable, fix the belief before you spend the money. Pick one of the 4 mindsets and name the single daily decision it would change for you this quarter.Why ROI Doesn't Work as a Marketing MeasurementAsk a room of marketers what keeps them up at night and ROI lands near the top every time. It's the question waiting in every board meeting. What drove revenue last month, and how much will this next bet add? Kathleen has been chasing that question longer than most. Running IDC's CMO advisory practice for 9 years, she kept asking leaders whether they were actually getting ...

What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Sharon Gai, author, keynote speaker, and educator.We'll cover:(00:00) - Intro (01:21) - In This Episode (05:20) - How AI Moves Marketing Creativity Up the Abstraction Layer (09:08) - Why Taste Is No Longer a Durable Human Skill (15:33) - What Human Work Looks Like After AI Learns Taste (20:41) - How to Codify Taste Into Your AI Systems (27:20) - Why Hands-On Execution Still Builds Judgment AI Can't Copy (36:48) - How to Build a Personal AI Strategy and Learn How to Learn (39:31) - Why Seeing Your Job as Tasks Rather Than a Role Future-Proofs Your Career (48:12) - Why You Should Tinker With AI Before You Cut Back on Meetings (54:13) - How Students Can Adapt to Graduating Into an AI Economy (01:02:13) - How to Decide What Deserves Your Energy Summary: Sharon Gai wrote a book telling everyone that taste and judgment were the durable human skills AI couldn't touch, then went on record to take half of it back. In this episode she walks through why taste is now codifiable, why originality still belongs to humans, and how she pulled a McKinsey-grade deck out of Claude by feeding it her own best work. We get into the lost generation of junior executors, the beekeeper mindset that separates orchestrators from busy bees, and a token-maxing hot pot dinner that made her swear off wasting agents. She even hands over a deathbed test for deciding what deserves your energy. If you've ever wondered which of your skills actually survive the next few years, this one is a map.About Sharon GaiSharon Gai is an author, keynote speaker, and educator who helps professionals future-proof their careers in an AI-driven economy. She teaches on Maven and speaks to audiences around the world about how AI is reshaping creativity, work, and the roles people play inside their companies. Her latest book uses the image of busy bees and beekeepers to argue that the future belongs to the people who orchestrate AI rather than execute every task themselves.Before writing and speaking full time, she spent years in enterprise tech, starting out helping IT directors and CIOs build data centers at the dawn of the cloud era. That hands-on background shows up throughout her work, especially in how she thinks about the difference between doing the work and orchestrating it.How AI Moves Marketing Creativity Up the Abstraction LayerWhen cameras got cheap, painters thought they were finished. Why spend weeks rendering a face in oil when a machine could capture it in a fraction of a second? Plenty of people called photography mechanical, soulless, artless. The threat was real, and the outcome was stranger than anyone expected. Freed from copying the world exactly, painters walked through a door cameras couldn't follow, into Impressionism, Cubism, and everything that made modern art feel alien at first. Sharon sees the same door swinging open for marketers right now, and the word she keeps returning to is abstraction.Walk through any art museum and you can watch this happen on the walls. The 1800s rooms are full of precision: portraits rendered to the eyelash, battle scenes with every horse in place, oceans and landscapes you could almost step into. Then you reach the modern wing, and some people stop and say "I could have done that." The work got harder to read. You have to stand there a moment, wonder who the artist was and why they picked this particular black over a lesser one. The craft survived by climbing a level, from rendering reality to deciding what the piece should mean.Sharon's marketing version is concrete. A few years ago you drew up a Facebook ad yourself, designed the banner, and loaded it into the platform's back end by hand. Now that whole chain can run on its own. So what does the marketer actually do? The real decisions look different now. You choose whether to test one ad or several hundred, each personalized to the person about to see it, whether the creative should be a flat image or a video, and if it's video, what belongs on screen. The manual work shrinks and the number of real decisions explodes. That's the abstracted layer, and it's where the job is heading whether marketers are ready or not.Over the next 2 years, the marketers who struggle will be the ones who still measure their worth by the execution those tools just swallowed.Key takeaway: Write down every part of your last campaign that was pure execution: building the banner, resizing creative, loading it into the platform, pulling the report. Hand those tasks to AI on your next campaign and pour the reclaimed hours into the layer above them. Decide which audiences, how many variants, what format each one takes, and what the creative is actually trying to make someone feel.Why Taste Is No Longer a Durable Human SkillFor about a year, the safe career advice sounded identical everywhere. Let AI do the work, but hold onto taste and judgment, because those are the human skills a machine can't reach. Tech CEOs repeated it on every stage. Sharon believed it too, and wrote it into her book. A few months later she started taking half of it back.Her reasoning is uncomfortable if you've built a career on your eye. What is taste, really? For an expert artist it's roughly 10,000 hours of seeing the bad versions and the good versions until they can tell the difference on sight. That makes the taste expert something close to a mini LLM, a person pummeled with enough examples to develop a reliable read on quality. And if taste is just a very large training set, there's no obvious reason you can't hand those examples to a model.Sharon is careful about where she draws the new line. In AI time, she points out, a single day can feel like a year, so any strong opinion has a short shelf life. She'll grant that judgment might still belong to humans, but taste she no longer counts in that column. Her position in June of 2026 is that taste is codifiable, and that alone knocks it off the list of things only people can do.Where Originality Still Separates Humans From AIShe used to open talks with a slide that read: creativity does not equal originality. The words sound like twins, and they describe 2 different things. AI can be creative. It can paint in an impressionist style and produce something that would look at home in a modern gallery. Originality means something genuinely novel, something that hasn't appeared anywhere before, and everything a model makes was pre-trained on what already exists.The gap shows up most clearly in how humans move between domains. Narrow AI, the kind we mostly use today, is trained on one field. General intelligence takes a principle from physics class and applies it to biology, or borrows something from construction and uses it while cooking. People do this instinctively from childhood. Machines still struggle with the leap, which is why originality, for now, stays on the human side of the ledger even as taste crosses over.If taste is now a training asset, the marketers still selling "good taste" as their moat are pricing a skill the market is about to commoditize.Key takeaway: Stop treating your taste as something locked inside your head. Start capturing it instead. Save the emails, decks, and campaigns you consider excellent right next to the weak ones, label what makes each good or bad, and feed both to your AI tools so the model learns your specific standard rather than a generic one.What Human Work Looks Like After AI Learns TasteEvery few months someone publishes a confident map of what work looks like in 2030. Ask Sharon and she starts by lowering the temperature. Most of it is prediction, and prediction is ch...
Email isn't dead. But most Marketers are measuring it the wrong way. Daniel sits down with Naomi West, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Customer.io, to break down what actually makes a “good” email and why beautiful design, open rates, and fancy templates aren't the metrics you should be obsessing over. From why web design trends fall apart inside the inbox, to why text-based emails often outperform heavily designed ones, Naomi unpacks the myths that are holding email marketers back. They also dive into lifecycle strategy, event-triggered emails, working with engineers, testing frameworks that actually produce statistically significant results, and why communication skills might matter more than any tool you use. If you're an email marketer who wants to move beyond templates and start driving real engagement and conversions, this is the episode for YOU.

What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Michele Martin, Senior Director of Global Brand and Integrated Marketing at Ticketmaster.Summary: Most career advice still hands you a ladder and tells you to climb.

She even walks through what a genuinely good AI session looks like on her marketing team. If you've ever felt boxed in by the straight climb up, this one rewires how you think about your next move.About Michele MartinMichele Martin is the Senior Director of Global Brand and Integrated Marketing at Ticketmaster, where she leads brand strategy and ties together the channels that reach fans across sports, music, and the arts. Her career is a working example of the lattice she advocates: 11 years at TD Bank moving through corporate sponsorships, communications, a contact center, and sales strategy, then brand and customer roles at L.L.Bean and a stretch at a growth-stage startup.A first-generation college graduate, she builds communities everywhere she lands, from the Kind/Red marketing collective to Live Nation Women. She's also an avid traveler, an amateur golfer, and a self-described nonfiction reader who gets her fiction through Netflix and TikTok.What A Lattice Career Means And Why It Beats The LadderMost career advice still runs on a single image: the ladder. You start as a specialist, become a manager, then a senior manager, then a director, then a VP, climbing one predictable rung at a time. It's clean, it's legible on a resume, and it quietly convinces a lot of good marketers that any move which isn't straight up is a step backward. Michele has spent 2 decades proving the opposite, and she has a better picture in mind.Walk into any hardware store and find the fencing section. The lattice is that crisscross panel of wood, the one you'd nail under a porch for a little privacy. That shape is the whole philosophy. A lattice career moves diagonally, sideways, sometimes down for a stretch, and then back up from a completely different position than where you started.The freedom in that reframe is the part people miss. When you stop treating vertical promotion as the only valid direction, you give yourself permission to chase the work you're actually curious about. You might take a role that pays the same and reports to the same level because it teaches you something your current lane never will. A year later that detour is the reason you can do a job nobody on the straight-up track is qualified for. The lattice isn't a slower ladder. It's a wider map of where a career can go.The marketers who'll be hardest to replace over the next decade are the ones who collected range on purpose, because range is the thing no single promotion can hand you.Key takeaway: Stop scoring every potential move by whether the title goes up. Draw your own version of the lattice instead: list the 3 skills or domains you most want to understand, then look for roles that hand you those, even laterally. The diagonal move you resist now is usually the one that makes you uncopyable in 5 years.How To Decide If A Sideways Career Move Is Worth ItEvery marketer has a moment where someone dangles a role that feels wrong. Wrong department, wrong direction, wrong vibe for the brand you're trying to build for yourself. The instinct is to protect the climb and say no. Michele almost did exactly that, and the role she nearly turned down ended up shaping everything that came after.She spent 11 years at TD Bank, a place that treated career growth as a contact sport. The internal logic there was simple: if you want to grow, try a little bit of everything, because that's how you actually learn how the business makes money and how decisions land on customers and employees. So when a contact center role came up, it fit the bank's culture even though it terrified her. She'd never pictured herself there. She didn't know what the work even was beyond the frontline.What tipped her over was a mentor named Matt Chevalier, who passed away young and whose advice she still repeats. He'd watched her get comfortable, and comfort was the thing he refused to let slide. His argument wasn't that her current job was bad. It was that she'd convinced herself the fun she was having couldn't exist anywhere else, and that staying put meant never testing herself in the ways a harder room would. That landed.Inside the contact center she learned phone systems, quality programs, and the guts of customer technology she'd never have seen from a marketing desk. The next jump, onto a sales strategy team, was scarier still, because now she was building an incentive platform alongside genuinely technical people while feeling like she knew nothing. The relief came from a small realization that's stuck with her since. If you can explain a complicated system in plain words, you actually understand it.The roles people resist hardest tend to be the ones carrying the steepest learning curve, which is exactly why avoiding them keeps so many careers thin.Key takeaway: The next time a role feels like a sideways or scary move, separate the fear from the data. Ask what specific skill or exposure it would hand you that your current seat never will. If the honest answer is "a lot," treat the discomfort as a signal you've found a real growth edge, not a reason to pass.Why Integrated Marketing Is A General Contractor RoleMarketing invents job titles faster than anyone can define them, and "brand and integrated marketing" is one of those phrases that means something different at every company. At Ticketmaster, Michele uses a metaphor that finally makes the term concrete. Integrated marketing is the general contractor of a campaign.Think about what a general contractor actually does on a build. They don't pour every foundation or wire every outlet themselves, but they understand each trade well enough to know when something's off, and they're the one person responsible for making all of it connect into a house someone can live in. That's the role. You need real fluency across the components of a campaign, whether that's CRM, paid media, organic, or social, and then you need the rarer skill of wiring those parts together.Here's where the lattice pays off in a way no straight-line career could. Because Michele spent years jumping into unfamiliar functions and learning new technology on the fly, she walks into an integrated role already understanding most of the trades she's coordinating. That changes the quality of the work. Without that range, the job quietly degrades into project management, chasing status updates and herding stakeholders. With it, she comes to the table with a real point of view on every channel because she's actually done the work in them.The integrated marketer who can only schedule the trades gets treated like overhead, while the one who understands the trades gets treated like a leader, and the difference is almost always hands-on range.Integrated Marketing Versus Omnichannel MarketingPeople lump integrated marketing and omnichannel together constantly, and Michele doesn't fight that too hard. Where she sits, the 2 work almost the same way. The job starts with a business challenge for a given category, then asks how marketing can support it, then defines a single concept grounded in data and fan insight. Only after that does the work fan out to the channels.The discipline is in what stays constant ...

Send us Fan MailInfection control has always been a cornerstone of dentistry—but are today's protocols enough?This week on Humpday Happy Hour™, we're joined by Lane Bourland, Sales & Marketing Manager at MCS – MediClean & Shield. Having grown up in dentistry and managed one of the busiest pediatric dental practices in West Texas, Lane has experienced firsthand the challenges of maintaining consistent infection control in a fast-paced clinical environment.After navigating the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, Lane became passionate about rethinking traditional infection control protocols. Today, he works with practices across the country to help them move beyond assumptions by focusing on three essential pillars: protection, verification, and documentation.In this episode, we explore the three critical gaps Lane believes exist in many dental practices: protection, verification, and documentation. He explains how long-lasting antimicrobial surface protection, rapid ATP and microbial testing, and CleanCommand™, MCS's compliance portal, work together to help practices move from assumption-based infection control to data-driven verification and real-time documentation. We also discuss why having measurable proof of infection control efforts has become increasingly important for regulatory compliance, patient confidence, and practice accountability.Whether you're looking to strengthen your practice's infection control protocols, better understand compliance, or simply stay ahead of the evolving standards in dentistry, this conversation offers valuable insights for every member of the dental team.Learn more:Website: infectioncontrolpro.comInstagram: @mcsinfectioncontrolsolutionsThank you for joining us for another episode of Humpday Happy Hour™.

What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Amanda Natividad, Chief Evangelist at SparkToro and co-author of Zero Click Marketing.We'll cover:(00:00) - Intro (01:14) - In This Episode (06:37) - Why Attribution Breaks Down in a Zero Click World (16:09) - What the Alligator Graph Means for Ops Teams (22:46) - How to Run a Zero Click Launch Week You Can Actually Measure (32:35) - How Incrementality Testing Works at Enterprise Scale (38:09) - What Audience Listening Adds to the Marketing Ops Stack (42:50) - What Content Leaders Need From Marketing Ops (47:59) - How to Turn Audience Research Into an Operational System (52:00) - How AI Visibility Changes Zero Click Marketing (58:36) - Setting Boundaries to Protect Your Energy and Focus Summary: zero click marketing won the strategy war, and now nobody can prove it's working. Amanda has spent over a decade building marketing that lives where the audience already is, and in this episode she takes apart the measurement crisis that creates. We get into why your attribution dashboard is quietly lying to you, how a viral story about HubSpot losing 80% of its organic traffic actually hid record revenue, and what a 25 million dollar ad blackout taught Dropbox about the gap between credit and cause. She also shows how to turn audience research into an operational system and why winning AI visibility comes down to writing genuinely good stuff. Stick around for the launch-week playbook and the overslept-webinar story that completely reframes how she guards her time.About Amanda NatividadAmanda Natividad is the Chief Evangelist at SparkToro, the audience research startup, and the founder of Zero Click Marketing, a podcast and consultancy built around the framework she co-created with Rand Fishkin in 2022. She spent 4 and a half years as SparkToro's VP of Marketing, where she launched a newsletter that reaches more than 60,000 subscribers at a 35% open rate and built Office Hours, a webinar series that pulls as many as 1,200 registrants a show.She's keynoted at AdWorld, Content Marketing World, and MozCon, and guest lectured at Columbia, Cornell, and Stanford. A Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef and former journalist, she now teaches Content Marketing 201 on Maven.Why Attribution Breaks Down in a Zero Click WorldEvery marketing ops team runs on a dashboard that hands out credit. This lead came from paid search. That demo came from a LinkedIn ad. This signup traces back to the nurture email. The numbers look authoritative, and leadership treats them that way. The trouble is the data underneath has been eroding for years, and most teams still read the output like scripture.Amanda has spent more than a decade building marketing programs that don't depend on the click. Her take on measurement starts from an uncomfortable place. Attribution was never as precise as the industry sold it, and every year it gets less precise.4 separate forces have chipped away at what attribution can actually see, and they stack on top of each other.Third-party cookies barely function. Only about 30% of users accept them, and Safari rejects them by default., Ad blockers hide a huge share of traffic. Somewhere between 20 and 60% of people run one, and among tech-savvy B2B audiences that number climbs toward 60%., The multi-device journey is untrackable pre-login. People average 3.6 devices each, so stitching a single human across all of them is mostly guesswork., Privacy regulation makes persistent tracking impractical. GDPR, CCPA, and LGPD mean what's legal in the US often isn't legal anywhere else, a real burden for any team with a global audience.None of this means you rip attribution out of the stack. In a mature organization it's already there, already wired into the reports leadership reads, so ignoring it would be its own kind of malpractice. The shift Amanda argues for is one of posture. Go in knowing exactly where the model goes blind, then ask the more useful question of what you can measure next to fill the gaps. That's where incrementality, media mix modeling, geo-testing, and holdout tests start to earn their place. The teams that keep their budgets in a down market are the ones who stopped presenting attribution as ground truth and started presenting it as one flawed witness among several. A single confident number is easy to attack. A converging set of imperfect signals is much harder to argue with.Key takeaway: Audit where your attribution model goes blind before your next leadership review. Write down how much of your traffic Safari blocks, how many of your B2B visitors run ad blockers, and how many touchpoints happen before anyone logs in. Bring that context into the room so a drop in tracked conversions reads as a gap in measurement, not a failure in marketing.Why Dark Social Traffic Shows Up as DirectOpen Google Analytics on any given week and a fat slice of your traffic sits in a bucket labeled direct. The polite interpretation is that all those people typed your URL straight into the address bar. Almost none of them did. Most of that direct traffic is dark social, the shares that happen inside messaging apps and closed platforms where the referral information never makes it back to you.SparkToro put real numbers on it. About 2 years ago the team ran an experiment, sending more than 1,100 visits across 11 social networks and then checking what Google Analytics reported. For TikTok, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, and Mastodon, every single visit landed in direct.Amanda has a theory about why, and it follows the money. The platforms can see the organic referral string. They keep it invisible, because the moment you pay to join their ad network, that traffic suddenly becomes visible and measurable. Organic reach stays in the dark so paid reach looks like the only reach worth buying. And it goes well past the obvious suspects. Facebook Messenger strips the referral about 75% of the time, Instagram DMs about 30%, and even LinkedIn hides it roughly 14% of the time. A share is a share whether it happens in a feed or a private message, but only some of them ever get counted.The practical lesson for an ops team is to stop treating the direct channel as a junk drawer. When word of mouth and private sharing drive a real share of pipeline, a measurement model that files all of it under direct is quietly erasing your best-performing channel. The brands that figure this out start asking where conversations about them actually happen, instead of waiting for a clean UTM that the platform was never going to hand over.Key takeaway: Run your own dark social test before you trust the direct bucket. Push a known batch of clicks through TikTok, Slack, and a few DM channels, then watch how your analytics file them. Use the gap to set expectations with leadership, and lean on post-purchase survey questions like "where did you first hear about us" to recover the attribution the platforms refuse to share.What the Alligator Graph Means for Ops TeamsThere's a chart making the rounds that content marketers have started calling the alligator graph. Impressions climb while clicks to your website fall, and the 2 lines drift apart until they look like an open set of jaws. For a content team this reads as proof the strategy is working, because more people are seeing the brand. For a marketing ops team staring at the same chart in Google Analytics, it reads as failure, because the dashboard they own is built to count clicks and the clicks are going down. The measurement layer is undercutting the exact thing the content layer is producing.Amanda's first move is to reframe the problem. The j...

What does it take to build a jewelry empire from a modest storefront into one of South Florida's premier luxury destinations? In this inspiring episode of Pearls of Wisdom, host Guy Pineda sits down with Ed Dikes and Danni Dikes of Weston Jewelers to explore the remarkable story behind their family-owned business and its upcoming 25th anniversary milestone.

The conversation highlights the importance of treating customers and employees like family, building an all-star team, and developing lasting partnerships with prestigious brands such as Rolex and Cartier. Ed also shares valuable advice for fellow jewelers on growth, leadership, persistence, and why "not now" should never be mistaken for "never."

It's officially summer in the Mile High City, and for many Denverites that means it's time to high-tail it to the nearest shady spot on the bank of a mountain creek. But what if instead of escaping our day-to-day lives, we Denverites were escaping a horde of bloodthirsty zombies? Would that shady spot offer good defenses? Provisions? And what about the long-term chances for survival? Denver Business Journal reporter Catie Cheshire joined producers Paul Karolyi and Olivia Jewell Love last year to swap notes and talk through our survival strategies for a zombie apocalypse in Denver. This episode first aired on Aug. 6, 2025. We discuss Catie's report on Coors Field for Westword as the inspiration for this episode, and Paul mentioned Catie's excellent recent report on the business leaders asking whether now is the time to demolish office buildings downtown. Olivia talked about Ark Tactical in Lakewood. Paul discussed nuclear missile silos. Who brought the best survival plan — Catie, Olivia or Paul? Also, we want to know who you'd team up with. Or are you going it alone somewhere else entirely? We want to hear from you!

How do European engineers research, evaluate, and purchase technology today? How do these behaviors differ from their North American counterparts? I sat down with Udo Bormann to discuss the 2026 State of Marketing to Engineers Research report with a European lens.In this episode, Wendy Covey connects with Udo Bormann, Senior Sales and Marketing Manager at Elektor, to talk about the Europea-specific insights from the 2026 State of Marketing to Engineers research report. One of the most important findings: European engineers complete approximately 64% of their buying journey online before ever speaking with a salesperson. This is slightly higher than their North American counterparts. This means manufacturers must focus on becoming part of the research process rather than interrupting it.Udo explains how engineers are skilled at filtering out promotional messages and quickly identifying content that lacks substance. He says successful marketing strategies provide practical, in-depth information through articles, webinars, videos, datasheets, and demonstrations that help engineers evaluate solutions on their own terms.The research also revealed an interesting contradiction around artificial intelligence. While nearly 70% of engineers report using generative AI during the buying process, trust remains low particularly in Europe. Bormann noted that engineers often use AI as a starting point, but they still seek validation from credible sources before making decisions. That emphasis on credibility helps explain another surprising trend: the growing influence of trusted technical publications. Engineers have been increasingly gravitating toward sources they trust to provide accurate, verified information.For marketers targeting European engineers, it's important to prioritize technical accuracy, invest in trusted content channels, and focus on building credibility at every stage of the buyer's journey.

Something new came to Sea Otter this year, and I went to get the scoop. Sea Otter is widely regarded as the largest bike expo in the world, but calling it a "bike expo" doesn't quite cover it. With over 70,000 attendees, 1,000+ brands and exhibitors, and 10,000+ athletes competing across a huge variety of races, it's… a lot. And with all of that, it's hard to imagine anything was missing. Enter Old Man Mountain. Five years ago, Erik Fenner, OMM's Marketing Manager, attended Sea Otter for the first time. That night, he organically invited a few folks to join his campsite hangout. Nearly 30 people showed up. An idea was born. This year, that idea became reality with the inaugural OMM Bikepacking Campout and After Party at Sea Otter. OMM and their partners staked out a beautiful campsite about a mile from the main expo, tucked into a serene setting that felt worlds away from the chaos. People came from far and wide. Some rode their bikes. Some drove. Some flew. Some may have crawled. However they got there, everyone seemed to find what bikepackers tend to gravitate toward: a little dirt, a little community, and some grassroots vibes. It turns out, in the sea of Sea Otter, something was missing. Bikepacking is still a small but mighty corner of cycling, but it's clearly on the rise. You could see it in the growing number of adventure cycling booths, the people stopping by to ask questions, and the strong turnout for the first-ever OMM Bikepacking Campout. In today's episode, I take you into Sea Otter as a first-time attendee. But I wasn't there to see how many grams I could save if I sold a kidney. I was there to see what my friends at OMM were cooking up. Spoiler alert: it was really damn good. This episode is made up of five conversations with sponsors, vendors, and attendees of the OMM Bikepacking Campout. You'll hear from: Chris Kratsch — Co-Owner of Old Man Mountain Carley Boyce — Campout attendee who attempted the Great Divide with her dog Rowdy, then went back the next year to attempt the Tour Divide Noelle Battle — Executive Director of Bikepacking Roots Wade Green — Managing Partner for Tout Terrain in the U.S. Erik Fenner — Marketing Manager at Old Man Mountain I had an incredible time at this inaugural event. It was so good to be far from home, but still feel like I had a built-in community of "my people." Big thanks to everyone who took a little time to chat with me about their experience at Sea Otter. Let's do it again next year! SHOW NOTES As heard on today's episode, Carley is racing the Tour Divide for a cause. She is raising money to support the Autism Society of Oregon.
