Podcast Summary: The Worldview Brief — Why Marketing Needs a Political Lens (Without the Politics)In this episode, Sacha Awwa sits down with Chris Peterson, co-founder of LifeMind and author of Red and Blue Customers, to unpack one of the most overlooked dimensions in marketing today: worldview. A former agency leader and lifelong consumer insights enthusiast, Chris explores how the deeply ingrained cultural values of liberal and conservative customers shape purchasing behavior, brand loyalty, and marketing strategy.From the evolution of political polarization to AI-powered segmentation, Chris breaks down the subtle but powerful ways businesses project their own values—often unconsciously—and what to do about it. If you've ever wondered why your marketing works better with some audiences than others, this episode is your roadmap to understanding why.Key Topics Discussed:1. The Hidden Influence of WorldviewHow a 2020 Pew study sparked the book Red and Blue CustomersThe difference between politics and worldview—and why it matters in marketingWhy values, not policies, shape purchase decisions2. Decoding Consumer BehaviorLiberal vs. conservative consumption patterns—from TV shows to TeslaSurprising insights from anthropology and psychology, not political science27 values that differentiate—and 7 that unite—American customers3. The Worldview Brief: A New Strategic ToolWhy most creative briefs miss this simple but powerful questionHow to assess your customer base without alienating anyoneReal-world examples from fitness, automotive, and home retail industries4. Building Brands that ResonateHow brands like WeatherTech and Apartments.com naturally align with worldviewThe role of founders' values in long-term brand positioningWhat happens when values conflict with segments you didn't mean to alienate5.

Inside of this episode I answer this question and do a little mini audit of her page with these goals in mind.“The marketing/messaging roadblock I am having is that, no matter how I present my content, I struggle with having my audience take my quiz or engage with me. It has led to starting and stopping posting on Instagram. I recently fine-tuned my messaging and am still trying to figure out how to use Instagram strategically. I had 2 people last year sign up for my freebie so hoping maybe this year, it might be higher.”We cover:The actual PURPOSE of social media (that people seem to be very confused around)Why we're using the wrong metrics to measure the success of our marketingWhy you're probably NOT growing your email list off of social media, and that doesn't mean it's not working for you.Ideas on how to promote on a platform that wasn't built for promotionIf you're struggling with results on social, this will help.Resources discussed:Join the Go-To Coach Club Waitlist: gotocoach.club/g2ccwaitlist

The psyche of our customers, yes, but our own as well.So in this episode we'll delve into a psychological concept called ‘action bias' – this is the idea that we, as humans, often lean towards taking action, even when standing still might be the better choice.Or as my latest guest aptly put it in his podcast guest application – Ask yourself, ‘what happens if I do nothing?'To unpack that lesson, and discuss more insights from his career journey, I spoke with Jonathan Kaufman, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Sage Dental (https://mysagedental.com/). Originally founded in 1997, Sage Dental has 100 affiliated practices, and it has a 98% three-year growth rate.Kaufman manages a team of 60, including the new patient management team.Stories (with lessons) about what he made in marketingSome lessons from Kaufman that emerged in our discussion:Everyone is faking it, no matter how smart you are, so it doesn't hurt to ask the questionBigger isn't better. What is important, however, is doing the simple things as best you can.If you don't understand how metrics impact the overall business, you're going to fail as a marketerAsk yourself, ‘what happens if I do nothing?'The relationship part and the art part of marketing and business is as important as the data and the financial metrics themselvesTailor the experience to that audienceRelated content discussed in this episodeThe Prospect's Perception Gap: How to bridge the gap between the results we want and the results we have (https://meclabs.com/education/Flint-prospects-perception-gap)Evidence-based Marketing: Why you need more than just numbers to truly drive ROI (https://marketingexperiments.com/conversion-marketing/evidence-based-marketing)Marketing Webinar Optimization: Five questions to ask yourself about webinars (https://sherpablog.marketingsherpa.com/marketing/b2b-webinars/)Marketing and Brand: Embrace healthy friction (podcast episode #48) (https://www.marketingsherpa.com/article/interview/marketing-and-brand)Subscribe to our podcastThis article is distributed through the MarketingSherpa email newsletter.

Tom Nolan serves as CEO of Kendra Scott, where he balances day-to-day functions and strategy. He was the first person in his family to graduate high school and attend college on sports scholarships. He worked the summers and never did an internship, so getting a job after graduation was difficult. Despite this, his work ethic landed him a cold-call sales job at a publishing company. His competitive spirit and work ethic caused him to rise quickly through the ranks, which helped him become successful in his career, earn multiple board seats, and achieve his goals. In addition to serving on the Board of Directors, Tom oversees Kendra Scott's substantial omnichannel growth, global expansion, and evolving retail model. He has more than two decades of experience in brand building, management, and results-driven strategic planning from a diverse range of companies and is happy to be able to use his skills at a company that sees value in giving back.In this episode, Alan and Tom discuss how determination led to his success, what he believes is the role of marketing, and the three pillars at Kendra Scott: family, fashion, and philanthropy. Tom tells us philanthropy is the pinnacle, and ESG has been a focus with Kendra Scott since the start. He gives specific examples of how Kendra Scott gives back to its community and employees, as well as a heartwarming event that convinced him he needed to be a part of this organization. Tom talks about the challenges of staying relevant in an attention-hungry marketing environment and warns that people can sniff out brands that are disingenuous. For Tom and Kendra Scott, what they do is not about a transaction; it's about a connection. Ultimately, knowing, respecting, and loving their customers has propelled Kendra Scott to become a billion-dollar jewelry business.In this episode, you'll learn:How he became the first in his family to graduate high school and go to collegeWhat Tom sees as the role of marketingWhy philanthropy is good for your soul and your business Key Highlights [02:00] Being a first-generation high school graduate[03:15] From college ball to Kendra Scott[06:30] "I wasn't going to be the smartest person in most rooms, but I know that I would outwork anybody."[11:20] Board seats and side gigs[13:20] CEO's advice to CMOs[15:40] Eyes on the scoreboard[17:20] The importance of philanthropy: "Giving back is the truest form of success" [23:30] Philanthropy drives loyalty.[25:00] Great marketing and hyperlocal campaigns[27:10] Staying relevant in a noisy marketing environment[28:45] What's next for Kendra Scott?[30:20] The impact of losing his sister and having his children[32:40] Don't waste time on things that aren't important.[33:20] Don't lose your customers in the data.[34:55] Brands to watch[38:00] Knowing your customer isn't enough.

Earned: Strategies and Success Stories From the Best in Beauty + Fashion
In Ep. 72 of Earned, Conor sits down with Silvia Galfo, general manager of Armani Beauty. We start by talking about influencers: when Silvia first realized their potential, and how the narrative—and budgets—around influencer marketing have shifted in recent years. Silvia describes how important it is for luxury brands to strike the right balance between establishing a brand-led narrative and giving up some control to creators. We also discuss how to divvy up the marketing budget with the increasing number of channels available today, and Silvia shares her test-and-learn philosophy. We then explore the world of fragrance marketing—a historically difficult vertical to market across social media. Silvia emphasizes the importance of entertaining your audience, and shares the success of a recent TikTok activation for Armani's Acqua di Giò Profondo fragrance. To close the show, we discuss how to adapt your brand's message to resonate across international markets, and why Silvia's leadership style prioritizes nimbleness and agility.In this episode, you will learn:How luxury brands' approach to influencer marketing has shifted in recent yearsThe importance of entertainment in fragrance marketingWhy you should adapt your brand's message to resonate across international markets Key Takeaways[02:28] Why brands—including luxury brands—should lean into influencer marketing[10:31] How Silvia divvies up the marketing budget across all of today's new channels[13:39] How to effectively market fragrance on social media[18:15] Why brands should adapt their messaging to resonate across different markets and cultures[25:12] Why Silvia's leadership style prioritizes nimbleness and agilityResources:L'ORÉAL's websiteGiorgio Armani L'ORÉALConnect with the Guest:Silvia's LinkedInConnect with Conor Begley & CreatorIQ:Conor's LinkedIn - @conormbegleyCreatorIQ LinkedIn - @creatoriqFollow us on social:CreatorIQ YouTube - @TribeDynamicsCreatorIQ Instagram - @creatoriqCreatorIQ TikTok - @creator.iqCreatorIQ Twitter - @CreatorIQ
