Storytelling has become the most overused word in marketing, and Emma Lieberman thinks that's exactly the problem. In this episode of Content Amplified, Emma, Director of Copy and Content at Impact Networking, argues that storytelling isn't a strategy to optimize, it's a craft, and treating it like a KPI is why so many brand stories fall flat. Drawing on Aristotle's Poetics, Emma breaks down what actually makes something a story (a beginning, a middle, an end, a character who changes) and why most marketing "stories" are really just branding wearing a costume. She walks through three examples that get it right: Grainger's YouTube series of unscripted client interviews, a Volvo ad that never shows the car until the very last second, and Google's classic "Parisian Love" ad told entirely through search bar queries. Emma also shares the one tactical move any marketing team can make tomorrow: start with client stories, since no sales team has ever said no to more of them. If you've ever wondered why your brand's "storytelling" isn't landing, this conversation explains what's actually missing.About EmmaEmma Lieberman didn't start out in marketing. She spent years in Los Angeles working as an actor and comedian, doing stand-up, sketch, and indie film, before the pandemic pushed her to try content writing as a freelancer. She quickly found that the skills she'd built connecting with an audience on stage translated directly to connecting with one in writing, and she moved from freelance work into an in-house role at Impact Networking. She's been promoted several times since and now serves as Director of Copy and Content at Impact Networking.Show NotesConnect with Emma on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emma-lieberman/Text us what you think about this episode!

Jump off that social media hamster wheel. An easier way to gain lasting visibility and credibility is with an often-forgotten-about marketing tool - awards. Yes, business awards! They're much more than a nice-to-have trophy. If you use this strategy correctly, awards are a savvy, long-term tool to build trust, raise your profile, and open up new opportunities. Many women look at business awards and think, “That's not for me, I'm not ready yet” or “Those are for other people, who have done more than me.” And that's why they're the biggest 'missed opportunity' out there! I'm joined in this episode by Lauren Clemett, founder of the Audacious Agency and an absolute whiz when it comes to using awards to boost your business. Lauren's background in branding and her years of experience as both an entrant and a judge make her the perfect person to bring some clarity and honest advice to the world of business awards. Here's a taste of what we covered: Why are awards such a powerful marketing tool? What stops most women from entering awards, and should you wait for “the right time”? What separates a meaningful, respected awards program from the ones that just want your entry fee? How do you pick the right awards for your goals? The biggest mistakes people make when applying... and, How can you actually use your award (or nomination!) to build your profile and create content that lasts far beyond the awards night? Ready for a practical, myth-busting, and genuinely inspiring look at what awards can do for your business? Grab your coffee and tune in! About our guest: Lauren heads up The Audacious Agency, a premier profile building and award writing specialist company. A global thought leader in personal branding, with over three decades of experience in brand management and a reputation as a sought-after keynote speaker, Lauren empowers entrepreneurs and business owners to build powerful personal brands.

Episode 227: Stuck at the Same Level in Your Coaching Business? Get That Fixed Here: https://go.digitaltrailblazer.com/7-dollar-biz-auditYour customers are now asking ChatGPT and Claude for recommendations before they type into Google — and if your brand doesn't show up, you lose the sale before you knew you were in the running. Even businesses with a decade of strong SEO are getting outranked by newer competitors.In this episode, Jenna Hannon teaches us how to fix that: why your website, not Reddit or LinkedIn hacks, is the real foundation AI models learn from, how to find the questions customers are asking, why clean structure beats long-form content, and which off-page signals actually move the needle.About Jenna Hannon: Jenna is the founder and CEO of Hatter, an AI search agency that combines software and expert service to help brands get found inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews.

Many entrepreneurs feel overwhelmed by today's noisy, polarized media landscape, and unsure how to stand out without becoming controversial or “salesy.” Our guest, Bryan Mattimore, innovation expert and author of Trump's Playbook: His 50 Brand and Influence Strategies and How to Use Them Ethically, has helped companies generate over $3 billion in new revenue by turning bold influence tactics into practical, ethical branding strategies. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Bryan unpack what makes figures like Donald Trump, Taylor Swift, Steve Jobs, Winston Churchill, and Muhammad Ali so unforgettable from a marketing perspective. Bryan explains how Trump's rise is a masterclass in branding, attention, and message simplicity, and how business owners can apply those same principles without the divisiveness. You'll hear how concepts like binary messaging, narrative shortcuts, symbols, memes, and manufactured villains work psychologically, and how they translate into powerful, memorable brand positioning. Bryan also dives into the idea of the attention economy, why simple, repeatable messages win over complex explanations, and how letting your audience “fill in the blanks” can make your brand feel more personally relevant. From “Make America Great Again” to “Just Do It,” he breaks down why the best slogans and stories stick, and how small businesses can create their own clear, consistent, and emotionally charged messaging that cuts through the clutter. In the second half, the conversation shifts to ideation and AI as a practical toolkit for entrepreneurs. Bryan reveals how he used his 50 influence principles with AI to generate hundreds of strategic ideas for brands and institutions like Harvard, NPR, Disney, Planned Parenthood, and Oreo, and how you can do the same for your business, nonprofit, or career. Instead of using AI just to “polish emails,” he shows you how to use it as a brainstorming partner to spark new campaigns, positioning angles, and growth strategies, even when you feel stuck or resource-constrained. https://youtu.be/RSOO3-lOuJ0?si=u7aN_zQXFqC6n9g- If you've ever felt frustrated that your brand isn't getting noticed, or you're uncomfortable with the way some high-profile figures gain attention, this episode offers a blueprint for ethical influence. You'll walk away with a new understanding of how bold ideas, clear messages, and AI-powered ideation can help you differentiate your brand, attract the right audience, and generate fresh opportunities, without compromising your values. Quotes: “From a marketing standpoint, you've got to start by building the brand; otherwise nobody's ever heard of you, nobody knows who you are and what you stand for.” “Trump has taken narrative shortcuts; five or six word phrases where the entire story is implicit. He doesn't even have to tell the story; you kind of get it.” “We live in an attention economy: the more information we get as consumers, the more important it is to stand out and gain attention, and attention now is the power.“ Contact Details: Get Started with Growth Engine Today Follow Bryan Mattimore on Facebook and Unlock your Team's Creative Potential Connect with Bryan Mattimore on LinkedIn Join Bryan Mattimore on X Grab a Copy of Trump's Playbook on Amazon
A lot of military entrepreneurs know they need to market their business, but it can be hard to know what is actually worth your time and money.

We talk about how to stop wasting money on random marketing and start building a revenue-focused strategy. He shares what to fix first, what to track, and when it makes sense to hire help.

If you've ever wished you could flip a switch and instantly generate more leads, this episode is for you. Guy Bauer explains why "getting leads" is the wrong goal, and why leads are actually the byproduct of a disciplined, long-term marketing system. Using Umault's own experience, he shares why it took more than a year to generate the agency's first inbound lead, introduces David C. Baker's water pump analogy for building marketing momentum, and explains why consistency beats quick fixes every time. Then, Guy delivers on the promise with two practical ways to generate leads faster: targeting the 5% of buyers who are already in-market through bottom-of-funnel marketing, and creating one bold, opinionated video that earns attention and fills your pipeline. If you're tired of "get leads fast" marketing promises and want a more realistic framework for building demand, this episode is for you.

Episode 226: Stuck at the Same Level in Your Coaching Business? Get That Fixed Here: https://go.digitaltrailblazer.com/7-dollar-biz-auditPaid ads look simple — flip a switch and watch the leads roll in.

If your ads have underperformed and you can't quite figure out why, this conversation will show you what you've been missing.About Josh Sprague: Josh builds consumer brands from the ground up — product development, supply chain, brand strategy, and all the unglamorous work in between.

Jen McKee knew something in 2021 that the rest of the trades industry didn't: local businesses can absolutely dominate on TikTok. When a local plumbing company agreed to test her strategy, they didn't just get views—they generated massive inbound leads, scored thousands of five-star reviews, and became an industry icon without spending a single dollar on ads.As the founder of Key Heart Marketing, Jen specializes in turning plumbers, HVAC techs, and roofers into local social media stars. In this episode of the UpFlip Podcast, she sits down with Ryan Atkinson to debunk the myth that you need to be a professional video editor or a dancing teenager to win on social media.If you're a local business owner putting off content creation because of imposter syndrome or a lack of time, Jen provides the ultimate, stress-free playbook to turn your smartphone into a massive revenue driver.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Document, Don't Create: Why the highest-converting content doesn't require scripts or fancy edits—just an authentic selfie video explaining a problem at your daily job site.The 3 S's Framework: Jen's exact formula for balancing your content: Show Up (50% personal and relatable), Stand Out (30% thought leadership), and Scale (20% selling your services).The Video SEO Hack: How Google is actively indexing TikTok and Instagram videos for local search, and the exact keywords you must put in your bio and captions to rank in your specific city.The 4 C's of Consistency: The simple monthly planning strategy (Consistency, Calendar, Content, Commitment) that prevents burnout and allows you to run a full content calendar on just a few hours a week.Tags: Digital marketing, Service & Consulting, Home Services, EntrepreneurshipTired of guessing what business you should start?

Many health tech and med tech companies don't struggle because of weak products, they struggle because buyers don't clearly see or trust their value. In this episode, Saul Marquez of Outcomes Rocket, who has interviewed nearly 2,000 healthcare leaders, shows growth-stage companies how to turn complex offerings into clear positioning, real pipeline, and measurable revenue in the healthcare market. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Saul breaks down his Discover–Define–Deliver framework for healthcare marketing strategy. Instead of jumping straight into tactics, cold email, conferences, content, LinkedIn, PR, he shows why most teams need a fast but disciplined “discovery sprint” to map the landscape, clarify positioning, and understand the real decision-makers and early adopters in their space. Saul explains how one week of focused discovery can save months of wasted execution and move you into the top tier of companies that actually have a documented marketing strategy (only 28% of med tech companies do). Saul also shares a powerful case study of a client with a truly innovative “smart hospital” platform that the market didn't know how to categorize. By doing voice-of-customer research, segmenting early vs. late adopters, and building a targeted list of the right CIOs and clinical leaders, Saul's team helped them stand out as the smart hospital player. Through a combination of focused podcasting, thought leadership, PR partnerships, and a smart hospital maturity model, the company went from “bumping their head against the wall” to being acquired by a major medical device organization. The conversation then dives into podcasting as a B2B growth engine in healthcare. Saul outlines three types of podcasters and explains why most B2B companies are in the “business owner” camp, not media companies chasing downloads. He reframes podcasts as a way to create contacts and contracts, not vanity metrics. Using his content flywheel, a single episode becomes SEO content, social posts, sales enablement snippets, PR assets, and opportunities for pod swaps and deeper relationships with buyers and partners. Downloads are vanity; strategically leveraged conversations are where the real ROI is. https://youtu.be/6F0aamX1bgo?si=KgMDfiuUCkpzAZEi Throughout the episode, Saul returns to a central theme: strategy over shiny objects. With marketers bombarded by new channels, tools, and “can't-miss” offers, the real advantage comes from knowing what to avoid and staying anchored to a clear, evidence-based strategy. He calls out “sleepy opportunities” most teams ignore, like repurposing PR into sales messaging, which only 6.1% of organizations do, and shows how focusing on these overlooked levers can create a serious competitive advantage. If you're in health tech or med tech and feel like you have a great product but inconsistent growth, this episode will give you a practical roadmap to build trust, clarify your message, and turn strategy into revenue with Saul's Discover–Define–Deliver approach. Quotes: “Strategy precedes tactics. If you don't do the strategy work, your chances of success decrease significantly, and you're leaving your business to chance.” “If you don't enjoy a marketing channel, you won't stay with it. Consistency is key, so do the things you're actually going to stick with.” “The most important thing you can do in your marketing is avoid the things that don't get you to the end goal as fast as possible.” Contact Details: Explore Saul Marquez's Official Website Healthcare Marketing Built on Insight.
