In der Podcast-Folge #136 von Klartext HR spricht Stefan Scheller mit Elena Kelava, über das Thema „KI-Onboarding: - das neue MustDo“. Künstliche Intelligenz hält auch in HR-Einzug. Der Bereich Onboarding bietet sich in mehrfacher Hinsicht an, um dort KI einzusetzen. KI-Onboarding könnte gar das neue „MustDo“ werden. Mit Elena spreche ich darüber,
 * dass Onboarding zwar nach Erzeugen von viel menschlicher Nähe klingt, warum KI aber hier dennoch ein wichtiger Partner ist * welche Inhalte sich besonders für eine KI-Unterstützung eignen und warum. * warum KI-Skills in vielen Unternehmen noch unterentwickelt sind und wie HR das ändern kann. * wo sie Bereiche sieht, die im Onboarding bewusst „KI-frei“ gehalten werden sollten. Elena Kelava ist Head of Customer Marketing in der Modebranche. In ihrer Rolle verbindet sie datengetriebenes Performance Marketing, SEO, digitale Innovationen im E-Commerce und den sinnvollen Einsatz von KI. Sowohl beruflich als auch privat beschäftigt sie sich intensiv mit künstlicher Intelligenz und der Frage, wie Technologie sinnvoll und verantwortungsvoll in Unternehmen integriert werden kann. Mit ihrer Hands-on-Mentalität und langjährigen Erfahrung im Online-Marketing bewegt sich Elena an der Schnittstelle zwischen Kreativität, Strategie und messbarem Erfolg. Als Speakerin spricht sie regelmäßig über AI, Marketing-Transformation und digitale Verantwortung und ist überzeugt: Wandel sollte nicht nur gemanagt, sondern aktiv gestaltet werden. >> LinkedIn-Profil von Elena Kelava: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elena-kelava-expert-performance-seo-ai >> weitere Folgen Klartext HR: https://persoblogger.de/klartext-hr >> Lernen Sie auch das Podcast-Format YOUR HR STAGE von Stefan Scheller kennen: https://persoblogger.de/your-hr-stage

Heute zu Gast: Hakan Ersu – Unternehmer, Mentor und Berater. Mit nur 14 Jahren vermittelte er erste Influencer an Marken, mit Anfang 20 baute er eine erfolgreiche Agentur auf. Heute hilft er Dienstleistern und Coaches dabei, ihr Business systematisch zu skalieren. Im Podcast sprechen wir über seinen spannenden Weg vom Performance-Marketing im E-Commerce bis zur strategischen Beratung für Agenturen, über Positionierung, Kundenbindung und warum er seine Learnings heute weitergibt. Ein Gespräch voller Klarheit, Struktur und persönlicher Entwicklung.Hört rein, wenn ihr lernen wollt, worauf es wirklich ankommt, um euer Business strategisch zu skalieren, Kunden gezielt zu gewinnen und eure Position im Markt zu stärken.Key Learnings:Klarheit durch Positionierung Unternehmen, die zu viele Zielgruppen gleichzeitig ansprechen, verlieren an Wirkung. Eine klare Positionierung spart Zeit, Ressourcen – und sorgt für mehr Anfragen. Reinvestitionen schaffen Wachstum Nachhaltiges Wachstum entsteht, wenn Umsätze gezielt ins eigene Unternehmen zurückgeführt werden – anstatt direkt konsumiert zu werden. Nicht jeder Kunde ist ein guter Kunde Unternehmer sollten mutig genug sein, Kundenbeziehungen zu beenden, die Energie rauben oder nicht zum langfristigen Ziel passen. Fehler als Wegweiser nutzen Ob General Store, Kundenakquise oder Mitarbeiterführung – aus Fehlentscheidungen entstehen oft die wertvollsten Erkenntnisse. Vom Dienstleister zum Berater Die Transformation vom operativen Agenturgeschäft hin zu strategischem Mentoring hilft Unternehmern, ihre Rolle im Business neu zu definieren.Kapitel:00:00 Einführung und Mentorship02:45 Effizienz und Kommunikation im Business05:14 Hintergrund und Werdegang von Hakan Ersu07:08 Herausforderungen und persönliche Entwicklung10:06 Einblicke in die Influencer-Welt12:57 Kreativität und der Weg zum Unternehmertum15:12 Frühe Pandemie-Vorhersagen und E-Commerce-Innovation18:35 Erste Schritte im Performance Marketing21:48 Der Übergang zur Agenturwelt25:37 Herausforderungen im Agenturgeschäft29:15 Der Weg zur Positionierung und Spezialisierung33:18 Coaching- und Beratungsansatz für UnternehmenFolgt mir auf Social Media für mehr Insights:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/patzpreneur/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wolfgang-patzMeine Webseite: https://wolfgangpatz.de/Hakan ErsuWebseite: https://hakanersu.de/Ersu Consulting: https://ersuconsulting.de/Hashtags:#hakanersu #businesscoaching #positionierung #ecommercebusiness #performanceads #kundenakquise #consultinglife #skalierung #unternehmer #unternehmerin #unternehmertum #unternehmerleben #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #business #erfolg #motivation #selbstständig #selbstständigkeit #gründer #gründerin #gründen #founder

André Soulier ist ein Pionier im digitalen Marketing. Der Gründer und CEO der Agentur Nayoki hat früh erkannt, wie datengetriebenes Marketing Geschäftsmodelle verändern kann. Soulier ist in den USA ins digitale Geschäft eingestiegen. Dort hat er mit Baufinanzierungs-Leads ein erfolgreiches Unternehmen aufgebaut und später verkauft. 2003 kehrte Soulier nach Deutschland zurück und stieß auf Kopfschütteln: Online-Marketing war hierzulande noch erklärungsbedürftig. "Ich habe in Frankfurt einen Vortrag gehalten, da kam die Frage: Können Sie das bitte auf Deutsch übersetzen?", erinnert sich Soulier.Heute gehört Nayoki zu den führenden Agenturen für Performance Marketing. Der Fokus liegt auf messbaren Ergebnissen: Klicks, Conversions, Umsatz. Während klassische Werbung auf Reichweite und Image setzt, zählt hier allein der Verkauf. Der Markt für digitale Werbung in Deutschland wächst laut Statista stetig - bis 2029 auf über 21 Milliarden Euro. Besonders stark: Suchmaschinenwerbung, Bannerwerbung und Videowerbung.Trotzdem sieht Marketing-Experte Soulier Europa im Rückstand. Die USA profitieren von klaren Investitionsstrategien: Dort fließt rund ein Prozent des BIP in Private Equity, in Deutschland nur 0,01 Prozent. Zugleich werde hierzulande eher reguliert, statt eigene Plattformen zu schaffen.Das Rennen sei dennoch offen. Studien zeigen: Vor allem junge Nutzerinnen und Nutzer sind offen für neue Plattformen. Für Soulier eine Chance auf ein digitales Comeback - wenn Politik und Wirtschaft entschlossener in Infrastruktur, Innovation und Gründergeist investieren.Ein Hoffnungsträger: Künstliche Intelligenz. Deutschland verfügt über exzellente Forschung - etwa am Deutschen Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI) in Kaiserslautern, das US-Konzerne wie Google als Ideengeber schätzen. Gleichzeitig bleibt der Mensch im Marketing unersetzlich. Influencer-Marketing ist längst ein Milliardenmarkt - ein Beleg dafür, dass Vertrauen und Persönlichkeit nicht durch Algorithmen ersetzt werden können.Bei der Werbepersonalisierung sieht Soulier Nachholbedarf. Die Relevanz müsse steigen, Streuverluste sinken. Fehler wie Anzeigen für bereits gekaufte Produkte dürften sich nicht wiederholen.Was er von der Politik erwartet, warum er Europa nicht abschreibt - und weshalb für ihn das Rennen gegen die US-Giganten gerade erst beginnt, verrät André Soulier in der neuen Folge von "So techt Deutschland".Sie haben Fragen für Frauke Holzmeier und Andreas Laukat?

Matt Sciannella hosts Dale Harrison in a three part summer event series to cover the intricacies of Brand and Performance marketing. This is the third part of the first episode, covering budget allocation between brand and performance marketing. As Dale shares his expertise, he underscores the importance of understanding how consumer memory interacts with advertising and the long-term impacts on sales. He delivers actionable insights, particularly around the renowned 60:40 rule—a guideline suggesting that 60% of a marketing budget should focus on brand, while 40% should aim at performance-driven campaigns. Dale highlights the differences between B2B and B2C strategies, suggesting that certain industries may require shifting this balance based on their purchase cycles. He explores the dynamics of memory decay and its impact on brand effectiveness over long purchase cycles. With real-world examples, Dale breaks down how newer brands differ from mature ones in their approach to performance advertising.Check out our events page to register for the second episode, happening live on July 22. Episode topics: #marketing, #demandgeneration, #brand, #B2BSaaS, #digitalmarketing #ads #brandmarketing #performancemarketing ______Subscribe to Stacking Growth on Spotify and YouTubeLearn More About Refine LabsSign Up For Our NewsletterConnect with the hosts:Matt SciannellaDale Harrison

Matt Sciannella hosts Dale Harrison in a three part summer event series to cover the intricacies of Brand and Performance marketing. This is the second part of the first episode, covering how brand and performance can work together as well as common mistakes and limitations of each.Dale emphasizes that brand ads should aim at building durable memory associations with future buyers, who represent a significant 95% of potential consumers not actively in market. He explains the importance of creating brief, impactful brand ads designed to refresh memories. He also highlights the unimodal nature of performance ads, designed to trigger immediate actions among the 5% of consumers in-market. He cautions against including multiple calls to action in any single performance ad to avoid cognitive overload and reduced effectiveness.Matt and Dale also cover the limits of performance ads in forming long-term brand memories and investigate how cognitive psychology plays a part in ad memory retention. They mention performance ads often lack impact due to generic offers, and share compelling insights into how rebranding can erase prior brand memories, highlighting the value of consistent brand assets over time.Tune in soon for part three of this enlightening episode.  Episode topics: #marketing, #demandgeneration, #brand, #B2BSaaS, #digitalmarketing #ads #brandmarketing #performancemarketing ______Subscribe to Stacking Growth on Spotify and YouTubeLearn More About Refine LabsSign Up For Our NewsletterConnect with the hosts:Matt SciannellaDale Harrison

The Performance Marketing Association (PMA) released its third triennial affiliate marketing survey, revealing a booming industry. Data from eight networks, 53 publishers, and over 20,000 brands showed ad spend skyrocketing from $6 billion to $13.63 billion (a 14.42% CAGR), exceeding e-commerce growth and contributing 10% to overall US e-commerce revenue. While cashback and coupon sites remain significant, their market share decreased, likely due to the rise of card-linked offers and buy now, pay later options. These, along with influencer marketing, fueled growth, though the overall increase in market size means some sectors saw proportional decreases in share. The survey also highlighted growth in less directly correlated sectors like finance and telecom, and a slight decrease in ROAS (from 12:1 to 11:1), potentially due to a shift towards top-of-funnel traffic. Publisher sentiment shows concern about Google changes but optimism for the future.

Jordan explains why it's important for brands to focus on becoming trustworthy sources within AI ecosystems, addressing inaccuracies in AI-generated content, and leaning into unique brand assets. He also emphasizes the need to shift from broad outreach to more targeted strategies on platforms where the audience is most active.AI isn't replacing jobs, but it's changing them—making skill development and retraining a priority. The future of SEO will center around helpful, relevant content, deeper personalization, and multimedia formats like video that build trust and engage users.The key is to move from reactive to prescriptive marketing by focusing on serving specific audience needs within the evolving limitations of AI.

Welcome to episode #984 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Steve Pratt knows how to earn attention - and not in the algorithm-chasing, trend-hopping way most marketers talk about it. As the co-founder of Pacific Content (the first agency dedicated to branded podcasts), Steve helped pioneer a model for long-form brand storytelling that respected the audience as much as it served the client. Before podcasting was a thing brands took seriously, Steve was guiding companies like Slack, Facebook, Shopify, BMW, Adobe, and Charles Schwabinto a new kind of media - one built on trust, consistency, and real creative value. That experience forms the foundation of his new book, Earn It - Unconventional Strategies For Brave Marketers. In this conversation, he unpacks why so many marketers are stuck in short-term thinking, how performance marketing is cannibalizing brand, and what it really takes to build content worth someone's time. There's insight here on the difference between being loud and being relevant, on why the future belongs to brave brands with a point of view, and how AI may flood the market with content - but only humans can still make something remarkable. Steve's career started in TV production, moved through digital innovation at CBC, and has now landed at the intersection of creativity, business strategy, and media design with his newest venture, The Creativity Business. His message is simple: the only brands that win long-term are the ones willing to put in the work, respect the audience, and be consistently great over time. For anyone wrestling with content strategy, podcasting, or how to think like a media company - this one's a masterclass. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 1:00:53.
