Send Kevin a Text MessageIn this episode of Don't Kill the Messenger, host Kevin Goetz explores the intersection of social media and film marketing with Troy and Mark Paul, the son and father duo behind SGG Media. Their innovative agency represents over 2,300 sports micro-influencers with a combined reach of 88 million followers, helping major studios navigate a sea change in content marketing. Once reliant on TV, radio, and outdoor advertising, studios and streamers now lean heavily into social media to connect with audiences, particularly the elusive 18-35 year old male demographic. SGG's network of passionate superfans creates authentic engagement in ways traditional advertising simply cannot.What Makes Micro-Influencers Different (03:10) Troy explains that SGG represents everyday superfans, not celebrities. These creators have built loyal, engaged communities around their passion for sports.The Origin Story: From NYU to Entrepreneurship (18:02) Troy shares how he identified an untapped opportunity during COVID-19: sports fans creating content with millions of impressions but no monetization strategy. His high school friend Joe Hayes, who had built a 150,000-follower account, became employee number one.A Father's Investment and Guidance (12:38) Mark discusses putting his money where his belief was, investing $1 million of the company's total $3 million raised capital, and how he and Troy have deferred compensation for two consecutive years to reinvest in growth.The Pizza Entrepreneur at Age 11 (25:55) Mark shares the story of Troy's first business venture: hiring runners to buy pizzas and reselling slices to lazy classmates.Authenticity Over Celebrity (36:39) Troy contrasts traditional influencer marketing with SGG's approach: their creators have smaller but deeply loyal audiences, creating authentic engagement rather than paid celebrity endorsements that feel like "cash grabs."Universal's Breakthrough Campaign (39:35) Troy details how Universal brilliantly marketed the Jordan Peele film Him by timing the trailer drop with the NFL Draft and having 400+ NFL accounts create organic debate and engagement.Amplification: A New Marketing Strategy (42:32) Troy reveals SGG's most powerful tool: having hundreds of micro-influencers repost studio content simultaneously, building the studio's own social presence while reaching targeted audiences.Troy and Mark demonstrate how understanding shifting media consumption, building authentic creator relationships, and targeting niche audiences can cut through today's marketing noise to reach a “holy grail” demographic.Host: Kevin GoetzGuests: Troy Paul, Mark PaulProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Troy and Mark Paul:SGG Media: https://sggmedia.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/troy-paul-26a06198Instagram: For more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

Make shopping easyShoppers prioritize convenience when purchasing online. Simplify things by bundling content and scheduling it through the end of the year with pre-built content like Cyber Week, Holiday Sale, and Last-Minute Gifts. 3. Win local search campaignsCorner your local cycling market with Google Ads. Shoppers often look to Google first for desirable products—get your inventory at the top of search results so it's always top of mind. 4. Stay top of mind on all channelsStaying connected with your customers is key to keeping them engaged through the holidays and into the new year. Don't forget the power of traditional mail, too. Sending a physical holiday postcard or flyer to your customer list adds a personal, memorable touch that stands out in a digital-heavy season. 5. "Set and forget” customer communicationWhen you don't have time to plan out email campaigns, you can still keep in touch with customers by sending out automated emails after they've made a purchase with Workstand IQ Loyalty.6.

Most marketing agencies talk a big game about their strategies and playbooks — but when it comes to proving they actually work, the talk stops there.That's why I've done something unprecedented: I've bought a £7 million renewables business to test our own marketing playbook with real money on the line.Six months in, the results speak for themselves: 5X increase in website traffic, 250% more form completions, and we've doubled their backlink profile in just five months (after they'd only managed 100 backlinks in the previous five years).But here's what makes this case study truly valuable for marketing leaders — we're sharing the exact playbook we used, including the mistakes we made along the way.In this episode, I reveal:The six-step marketing transformation process we implemented at Elite Renewables — from complete brand overhaul to AI-optimised content strategyWhy we fired their existing agency before we'd even completed the purchase (and saw no drop in leads as a result)The CRM and marketing automation system that helped them scale from being completely overwhelmed with referrals to having full visibility of their sales pipelineHow we increased their website traffic by 5X in just one month by restructuring their site around customer types and individual service pagesThe digital PR strategy that generated 110 high-authority backlinks in five months (more than they'd achieved in the previous five years combined)Our AI-proofing approach — including sentiment analysis across AI platforms and the ultra-niche case study strategy that's becoming essential for AI search optimisationThe YouTube content strategy that's not just driving enquiries, but more importantly, building trust with prospects already in their pipelineI'll also share the honest challenges of being a client of your own agency, including the stress of rolling out new branding to a team that's worked together for a decade.As I explain in the episode:"It feels very different when it's your own money at stake. We bought this £7 million revenue business to put through the Exposure Ninja digital marketing process, and so far it has worked really well. But I'm not going to tell you that it wasn't stressful at times."If you're tired of marketing strategies that sound good in theory but lack real-world proof, this episode provides a complete blueprint based on actual results with actual money at stake.This is what happens when a marketing agency puts its money where its mouth is — and the lessons are invaluable for any business leader looking to transform their marketing results.Get the show notes:https://exposureninja.com/podcast/365/Listen to these episodes next:Why “AI Search is Just SEO” is a Dangerous Liehttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/364/How To Create and Optimise Your Content for AI Searchhttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/363/9 Reasons Why Your Traffic Is DOWN This Yearhttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/361/

In the crowded ecommerce space, how can companies foster a genuine connection with their audience — one that scales, drives loyalty, and still sells products? Judd Pratt-Heaney, a marketing and ecommerce leader, breaks down how brands can build real communities through content that feels personal, messy, and true to the customer experience. Judd emphasizes the importance of user-generated content, live video, and direct engagement with fans as key drivers of trust and growth. He advises marketers to favor function over polish, listen to their community for content cues, and embrace a three-pronged approach: reflecting the customer's voice, jumping on trending moments, and creating unique ideas that push the brand forward. In this episode of the Minds of Ecommerce podcast, Raphael Paulin-Daigle interviews Judd Pratt-Heaney, VP of Marketing and Ecommerce at recteq, about scaling community through authentic storytelling.

Patagonia isn't just scaling mountains. They're scaling through affiliate strategy.  This episode's guest, Cricket Treanor, went from the sales floor to HQ's affiliate marketing program. At Patagonia, their mission is centered on the environment, and their clientele is adventurous. So, when it comes to partnerships, they're thinking outside the box: cash back with Rakuten, listicles of the “best jackets”, and speaking out about social issues, to name a few. What should you do as a brand when you don't lean heavily into loyalty and deals?  And, Cricket debunks some misconceptions about the affiliate space. It's more than just loyalty; it's really brand awareness. Affiliates aren't taking sales away from other channels. Where do they fit into the marketing funnel?  Plus, Patagonia is more than just selling products, they're aiming to bring environmental awareness and sustainability efforts to their audience. How does the buy-back program contribute to KPIs? In a world of overconsumption, how do you get customers excited about new products when overconsumption contradicts the brand mission? If you're a marketer who wants to learn more about how partnerships, affiliate strategy, and digital marketing all play a role in scaling, this is the episode for you.   Let's face it—consumers don't trust ads, but they do trust their favorite creator, that go-to review site, or a friend's recommendation. That's where impact.com comes in. As the leading partnership management platform, impact.com helps brands turn creators, affiliates, and even loyal customers into powerful growth channels.
