If you want to make a big impact in a 15-second ad, there's one trick of the trade that instantly gets an emotional response: place your ad in a relatable setting.  It could be the DMV, an airport, or a drive through —what matters is that it's a place your audience has been to. They know what it's like getting a bad driver's license photo, or struggling to find an outlet to charge your phone while you wait for a connecting flight. By putting your story in a familiar setting, you don't need to do very much explaining – and you can capitalize on those precious seconds to highlight your message. This week, we're talking about Mean Girls. Mean Girls is a perfect example of what it means to have a relevant, reminiscent setting. In this episode of REMARKABLE, we talk about how to do the same in your B2B marketing.Why Mean Girls?Mean Girls is a modern classic that introduced the word "fetch" into our vocabulary. But we picked it for this week's episode because it's an excellent example of a film taking a common setting and building off it. You know what setting we're talking about: high school. The movie's production design evokes the all-too-familiar feel of the American high school. But it's not just that; it's also the scenes in the movie as well. We're talking about high school — the physical place as well as the experience. Mean Girls perfectly captures both, so you watch the movie and go, “I've been there. I know what that's like.” The high school feels familiar because it's pretty generic. Everything from the hallways and lockers to the cafeteria and classrooms in the movie look like ones in real high schools across the U.S. But it's more than that — it's the experience of going to a new school, trying to make friends, having crushes, getting bullied…there's something for everyone.Did you know that Mean Girls is based on a self-help book? That's right, Tina Fey wrote the screenplay after reading Queen Bees & Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends & Other Realities of Adolescence by Rosalind Wiseman. The book was written for parents who wanted to help their teen daughters better navigate the social complexities at school. Fey took key components of the high school experience from the book, along with unforgettable characters and a juicy plot, and Mean Girls was born. Mean Girls became a state-of-the-art classic because of how Tina Fey elevated the high school genre. With her cutting sense of humor and subversive voice, she made Mean Girls one of the most quotable and enduring of its kind.A Quick Mean Girls Refresher Mean Girls tells the story of Cady Heron, who gets her first taste of public high school after her scientist parents move from Africa to the Chicago suburbs. Outcasts Janis and Damien show Cady the ropes, but Cady winds up going her own way. Despite her friends' warnings, she is drawn into the cool girl clique, “The Plastics,” led by Regina George. Cady finds out how cutthroat The Plastics truly are after making the mistake of falling for Regina's ex. So Cady, Janis and Damien plot to bring on Regina's downfall.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Mean Girls: Set the stage. We know it's important to choose a memorable setting, but don't forget to give it some history. On Cady's first day in class, she was told not to sit in a certain seat because Kristin Hadley's boyfriend sits there. Do we know who Kristin Hadley is? No. But we've all walked into a situation where we accidentally took someone's seat. B2B companies can take common themes and everyday elements to create a familiar setting for their audience.Use compelling visuals. Use imagery that's authentic and tells your brand's story. Mean Girls is set in a real school that's still functioning today. The interior shots of the high school in Mean Girls were filmed at Montclair High School in Montclair, New Jersey. There's a reason why the style of the halls, the lockers, the cafeteria and classrooms look like the ones at your school. MHS was built in 1959, during the baby boom that followed World War II. In order to efficiently meet the needs of a growing population, school architecture designs were standardized, and the components pre-fabricated. That's why the school in Mean Girls looks so real to all of us – and don't forget that it's also a real, actual school! That's why we identify so much with the film, even if it takes place in a heightened, comedic world. Bottom line: in your B2B marketing campaigns, pull visuals that will have an emotional impact on your audience.Make it entertaining. Here we go, talking about edu-tainment again! Don't forget to add some humor to your marketing. It's an understatement to say that Mean Girls is a prime example of this – after all, Tina Fey wrote the screenplay. But she uses comedy to explore the bullying that happens among teen girls – while also keeping the audience engaged through tight plotting, intelligent pacing, and well-drawn characters. Do the same with your B2B work. Create ads that will immediately captivate your audience and leave them wanting more. Entertaining tidbits can be weaved into assets like LI ads, social posts, video campaigns, and blog posts. Remember, the shorter the asset (think short social posts or 30 second video ads), the higher the chances of engagement and viewership are.Key Quotes*”If you only have 15 or 30 seconds in the age of TikTok to grab somebody, if you're leaning into something that people know, to establish a setting, a time, a place, then you free up your runway to talk about the things that you really want to get across because those things are already built in.” - Dane Eckerle*”When it comes to setting, it's about being really relatable but also super relevant to your audience. When B2B marketers split up their target audience into personas, for example, know that they're people first, and more than just personas. They're professionals who want to make better impressions and build stronger relationships. You have to be relatable to sell to them as a marketer, but also show your true self and be authentic. And I think that comes with knowing exactly the groups that they're in and what they care about.“ - Anagha DasTime Stamps[1:13] What's Mean Girls about?[3:41] What does it mean to be relatable?[7:10] Mean Girls' box office success[8:54] Why is the high school setting important in Mean Girls?[12:05] Is there a psychological reason consumers gravitate towards relatable content? [14:25] What are our marketing takeaways from Mean Girls?[18:48] How do you apply the takeaways to B2B Marketing?LinksWatch Mean GirlsCheck out #LifeinsideDropBoxTake a look at how HubSpot highlights employeesAnd then there's Corporate BroVidyard is doing cool stuff with videos tooAbout the ShowRemarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

To say that Michael Callejas is involved with Montclair's community is an understatement. He knows everyone. He's a kind, compassionate, approachable member of our community. He is also a rising sophomore at Montclair State University and an incredible photographer. Michael has been taking photos for a very long time. At first, it started just by taking photos with friends or alone, just for the joy of doing it. But it was when Montclair High School's student body hosted its June 2020 Unity Walk, a peaceful protest in response to police brutality and the death of George Floyd, that Michael realized how much photography meant to him. It became more than something he enjoyed, but rather a passion, something he was willing to pursue. Since then, he's taken incredible photos for Montclair and beyond. Listen to his story here.

Did you miss the game that took place under the Friday Night lights? Join Diego Cruz and Gary Garcia, Quest News’ Sports Editor and number one Sports Writer, as they sit down and run the plays for every sports game that happened on Friday. Sit down and listen this week as they give their play-by-play breakdown of the game that took place November 1, 2019 between Don Lugo’s Conquistadors and Diamond Bar’s Brahmas in the final varsity game to qualify before CIF. Gary opens up the discussion about the win-or-go home scenario for the Don Lugo Conquistadors. As over a majority of the season, the Conquistadors have faced suffocating loss after loss games while only recently picking wins against Montclair High School on October 18 and against Chino High School in the Milk Can 2019 on October 25. So after retaining the Milk Can for the fourth year in a row yet also suffering a heavy and sad season, did the Conquistadors have what it takes to defeat the Diamond Bar Brahmas? A back and forth game that contained much needed defense and offense between the two teams. Explaining the plays that took place each quarter, what the players did right and what the players did wrong. Not only critiquing the players on the field, but also critiquing their predictions of what they thought was going to happen; as made on Jock of All Trades – The Deal. Isolating players such as Mackenzie Aguilera with a two time-out decoy, the Don Lugo Conquistadors ended up picking up the victory. Moving to the CIF Season, Don Lugo’s Varsity Football will be going against Burbank High School in their first round after winning the coin flip. So, whether you want the lowdown on all things Don Lugo sports or you want to hear where the hosts’ predictions went right or wrong; Quest News’ Sports Podcasting show, Jock of All Trades – The Draw Out with hosts Diego Cruz and Gary Garcia every Monday on Soundcloud and iTunes!

Spring fling has sprung at Montclair High School but tempers are as hot as summer break! Tensions are high between new transfer Greg Grant and Buzz Baxter as Buzz's dirty tricks to dominate in Field Day were left in the mud. Hedy Wolfe's hands stayed clean as ever AND got Clicker Holbrook to pull that nasty little exposé before it went to press, but now she owes Chili Storm a favor, a debt which that fiery gal won't be soon to forget. There's not much that gets past the eager ears of V Starr though, and what could V do when Patches, their good friend and fellow hunter of truth, came to them crying about how "Greg Grant was ruining his life because Buzz isn't going to get the internship from Mr. McCoy and now his mom won't let them date because he needs someone who's not a 'distraction' from his 'studies'", not tell him? He didn't take to the truth nearly as well as V expected, but it's fine because they know exactly what will bring Patches around on Greg, make him forget about Buzz, AND why he was ever mad at them in the first place! And Greg has been so friendly to them lately, who could be a better guy for Patches. However, irony abounds over Pall Malls, as Chili Storm suggests Millie Collins' upcoming house party as the perfect place to engineer an opportunity for Greg to connect with the person who's caught his eye...and clear the way to her own bubbly blonde.

After Buzz graduated from Montclair High School in 1946, he turned down a full scholarship offer from the  Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and went to the United States Military Academy at West Point.
