Marketing im Kopf - ein Podcast von Luis BinderIn dieser Folge wird über verschiedene Unternehmen gesprochen, da Markennamen genannt werden, handelt es sich um UNBEZAHLTE WERBUNG!In dieser Folge: In der heutigen Podcastfolge von Marketing im Kopf geht's um das Buy-Grid-Modell, das erklärt, wie Unternehmen Kaufentscheidungen treffen. Vom ersten Problem bis zur Lieferantenbewertung. Wir sprechen über die drei Kaufarten, die acht Phasen des Beschaffungsprozesses und darüber, warum es fürs Marketing entscheidend ist zu wissen, wer im Unternehmen wirklich mitredet. Vom Techniker bis zum Management.____________________________________________Marketing-News der Woche:Wohin sich Media-Budgets 2026 verschiebenDas neue OWM-Trendbarometer zeigt, dass viele Unternehmen für 2026 mit stabilen oder sinkenden Media-Budgets rechnen, zugleich aber stärker in Wirkungsmessung, Daten und KI investieren wollen. Kampagnen müssen sauber getrackt, klare KPIs festgelegt und Tests entlang der Customer Journey eingeplant werden, statt nur das Budget hochzudrehen.Konsumlaune im Minus: Weihnachtsmarketing wird selektiver⁠Das HDE-Konsumbarometer meldet für November eine sinkende Stimmung, und auch das GfK-Konsumklima bleibt deutlich im Minus. Für Händler und Marken bedeutet das: Weihnachts- und Sale-Kampagnen funktionieren nur, wenn sie klaren Mehrwert kommunizieren, zielgenau ausgesteuert werden und nicht ausschließlich auf Rabatte setzen. Digitale Werbung und Social-Media-Marketing sollten stärker auf Nutzen, Orientierung und Vertrauen einzahlen.⁠Purpose-Marketing: Haltung als Prüfstein für Marken⁠Purpose ist keine schöne Überschrift für Imagefilme, sondern ein Maßstab für tägliche Entscheidungen. Wer in Social Media und Kampagnen große Worte macht, aber im Produkt oder beim Service anders handelt, riskiert Vertrauensverlust. Der Purpose muss sich konkret in Angeboten, Customer Experience und Performance-Kampagnen zeigen. Sonst bleibt er ein Buzzword.Fakeshops buchen Anzeigen bei Google & MetaLaut einer aktuellen Analyse des Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverbands schaltet rund jeder zweite Fakeshop Werbung bei Google oder auf Meta-Plattformen. Für Marketing-Teams stellt sich die Frage nach Brand Safety, seriöse Tracking-Setups und transparente UX.____________________________________________Vernetz dich gerne auf LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/luisbinder/⁠ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marketingimkopf/Du hast Fragen, Anregungen oder Ideen?

Episode 192: Automate Your Lead Generation with our FREE online course: https://go.digitaltrailblazer.com/auto-leads-course-freeMany online business owners create Facebook groups but struggle to keep them active and alive - no engagement, no conversations, and eventually, a dead community that isn't driving sales calls or clients. In this episode, Shivani Sharma teaches us how to maximize engagement in Facebook groups and revive abandoned communities using strategic challenges, consistent live content, and proven frameworks that turn group members into paying clients. She shares her approach to running regular challenges with VIP upgrades that create urgency, build relationships, and convert community members into high-ticket buyers.About Shivani Sharma: Shivani is a blind six-figure business coach on her way to scaling to seven figures.

We sit down with videography‑driven marketer Joe Goodchild to unpack how dentists can turn simple, authentic reels into real enquiries and booked e‑consults without spending on ads.We start by tackling the mental barrier that keeps clinicians from posting: fear of judgement. Joe shares why short, honest videos outperform polished graphics, how modern algorithms sample content from new accounts, and the small production tweaks that make a big difference—like filming facing a window for clean, flattering light. We get practical about audience targeting too: speak to specific patient scenarios and desired treatments, not generic tips that vanish in the feed.From there, we map the platform strategy. Instagram remains the best organic home for dentists thanks to Reels and a broad user base that increasingly includes older patients. Facebook still helps reach implant demographics, though expect limited organic reach. TikTok can deliver big top‑of‑funnel visibility; use it to push traffic to Instagram or straight to your site rather than chasing DMs as the sole KPI. Then we rebuild the conversion path: write a clear bio stating who you help, where you work, and how to book, and replace crowded link trees with one decisive CTA. Joe breaks down why a direct e‑consult link outperforms open‑ended DMs, and how Calendly's custom fields, reminders, and short slots keep bookings smooth and show‑ups high. We round things out with a take on branding: use colour and consistency, but avoid repetitive grid patterns that turn into wallpaper—variety and clarity keep viewers engaged.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

As Duolingo's first-ever social media hire, she helped grow the brand from 50,000 to over 16 million followers, turning a dusty owl costume in the office into one of the most recognizable (and meme-worthy) characters on the planet. She opens up about how she built a culture of creativity rooted in improv, boldness, and trust. She shares how her team turned social media into the heartbeat of the brand and why “fear is the most expensive mistake” in marketing. You'll learn: > The wild origin story behind Death by Duo, the campaign that hit 1.7 billion impressions with no paid ads. > How Zaria uses improv comedy principles to fuel creativity, collaboration, and confidence. > Why giving social teams approval power and autonomy is the key to moving at the speed of culture. Whether you're a marketer, creator, or someone who just loves a good brand story, this episode will change the way you think about creativity online.

Send us a textIn this episode of Imperfect Marketing, host Kendra Corman sits down with Berlyn, founder of Planted Marketing and creator of The Greenhouse community, to explore what it truly takes to build a strong and sustainable brand in today's digital-first world. From simplifying your marketing strategy to embracing what works best for you, this conversation is full of practical insights for business owners at every stage.The Evolution of a Modern MarketerBerlyn shares her journey from photographer to agency owner—how creativity, curiosity, and a desire to make an impact led her to launch Planted Marketing in 2020 and later, The Greenhouse in 2025. The Greenhouse supports solopreneurs and small business owners in the DIY phase of marketing, helping them grow confidently with practical strategies and community support.Building a Strong Brand FoundationWe dive into the three essential pillars every business needs before they dive headfirst into digital marketing:Clarify Your Brand Identity: Beyond logos and colors—define your mission, values, and why. Putting this on paper creates alignment across everything you do.Own Your Online Space: Your website is more than a link in bio. It's your home base for traffic, email collection, and long-term growth.Create a Marketing Wheel: Don't rely solely on one channel. Develop a balanced strategy across multiple touchpoints—like SEO, Pinterest, LinkedIn, or email—so your business doesn't collapse if one channel falters.Simplifying the Marketing ProcessWith endless platforms and strategies available, Berlyn emphasizes the importance of choosing what fits your strengths:Do you love creating videos? Lean into Reels or TikToks.Prefer writing? Focus on blogs or newsletters.Thrive in conversation? Build through networking and community events.Consistency, not ubiquity, is the goal. You don't have to be everywhere—just show up where you enjoy creating.Community as a Growth EngineCommunity building, both online and offline, is a key growth driver. Berlyn highlights:Using social media as a nurturing tool—not just for visibility but for deepening relationships.Engaging authentically through DMs, comments, and Threads to strengthen visibility and trust.Creating systems to stay connected beyond initial meetings—through intentional engagement, coffee chats, or follow-up messages.Email Marketing: The Underrated PowerhouseBoth Kendra and Berlyn agree—email is your most valuable marketing asset. Social media algorithms change, but your email list is yours to own. It's the most reliable channel for building ongoing relationships, sharing updates, and staying in front of your audience.The Rise of AI in DiscoveryBerlyn shares a surprising trend: businesses being found through ChatGPT search—even without formal SEO strategies.Her advice? Make sure your keywords and messaging are consistent across all platforms. Even a single optimized landing page can make a difference in how AI tools surface your brand.Key Takeaways f Looking to leverage AI? Want better results?

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Tim O'Hearn, author of the book Framed. Tim O'Hearn is a software engineer who works in quantitative finance. He is also an entrepreneur and freelance writer.   As a sports journalist, he covered the 2024 World Athletics Cross Country Championships in Belgrade, Serbia. As a prolific creator of user-generated content, he has written hundreds of book reviews and thousands of other entries such as restaurant reviews, product reviews, blog posts, and comments-section polemics.   Framed: A Villain's Perspective on Social Media is his first book.   In her book review, Carole O'Neill stated: I read this book with a notebook by my side. There was so much information I felt like I was taking a full semester course. Framed: A Villain's Perspective on Social Media was my daily tutorial and Tim O'Hearn was my professor.   He grew up with the internet using first, Myspace, then all the way thru Tiktok. And believes everything on the internet today can be traced back to Myspace. Because of that, O'Hearn feels he's experienced being a puppeteer as well as a puppet. Facebook surpassed Myspace between 2009 and 2012. During that period search interest in both “hits” and “web counter” dropped off steeply.   Although he thinks the content about social media is misleading, this book is the best offering of coverage on Social Media Marketing. His tutorial explains how social media platforms have the same complicated relationship with spam bots that the U.S. Postal Service has with junk mail.   Before you reach the thirty pages of footnotes, you will learn about the “dead internet theory;” how external participants use software to wield godlike influence in the digital world; how he was accused of using, “What if I told you that I could get you more Instagram followers,” as a pick-up line to impress women; and, so much more.   This book cannot be read in one sitting. Especially if you want to retain all the opinions he has to offer. So read it once or read it several times. But read it.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Tim O'Hearn Website: https://tjohearn.com, timohearn.beehiiv.com LinkedIn: @tohearn   Purchase Framed on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4g7tiZn Ebook: https://amzn.to/4m5c7sK   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?
