She raised three kids while building WallWear into a 20+ year mural powerhouse, and she did it by simply saying yes to work and showing up consistently.

Eigentlich war Peter Bayer Snowboard-Funktionär. Heute ist er einer der Vordenker der Formel 1. Im OMR Podcast spricht der Österreicher über den rasanten Aufstieg der Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, die vom Schnäppchen-Team zur Multimilliarden-Brand aufgestiegen sind. Es geht um die Social-Media-Strategie, die aus dem Red-Bull-Rennstall das am schnellsten wachsende Formel-1-Team in den sozialen Netzwerken gemacht hat, um die Gen-Z-Strategie und natürlich auch um Speed auf der Strecke. Denn Peter Bayer sagt ehrlich: Ein Titel ist für die Racing Bulls aktuell nicht drin. Aber das heißt ja nicht, dass sie es nicht jedes Mal wieder versuchen – mit teils überraschendem Erfolg.
Matty Dalrymple talks with Dan Blank about SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY FOR AUTHORS, including why fragmented platforms need not mean the end of social media, how human stories stand out amid AI-generated content, why simple narratives and imperfect presentation can build trust, how writers can define core messages and learn directly from readers, when to reset an uninspiring feed, and why choosing one comfortable home base—especially a newsletter—creates room to experiment and learn what resonates.

Cartoonist Fran Sundblad, creator of Tiff & Eve, joins Brad for a wide-ranging conversation about creating character-driven comics, finding an audience on Reddit, and learning when not to chase the algorithm. Fran traces Tiff & Eve from its beginnings in her sketchbook to a comic that regularly reaches thousands of readers. She explains how Tiff and Eve represent two very different impulses — Tiff as the superego and Eve as the id — and shares a terrific character-development exercise: Lock your character in a room and ask what they do next. If you don't know the answer, you probably don't know the character well enough yet. Fran and Brad also talk about finding humor in the characters themselves rather than building every strip around a traditional punchline. That approach has helped Tiff & Eve explore Fran's experiences as a trans woman while remaining first and foremost a funny comic about two friends. In this episode: How Tiff & Eve grew out of Fran's sketchbook Writing two characters as opposing parts of your own personality Fran's “locked room” test for determining whether a character is fully developed Character-driven humor vs. setup/punchline comedy Using comedy to make personal experiences relatable What happens when readers interpret your comics differently than you intended Why Fran refuses to explain a joke Surviving hostile comments, Reddit Cares abuse, and the stranger side of online audiences Why cartoonists should post comics to their Reddit profile, not only to individual subreddits Learning the culture of each subreddit instead of treating Reddit as one giant audience Formatting comics differently for different communities — including designing images so Reddit's mobile crop doesn't hide important information Why fewer clicks usually means more readers The danger of chasing trends, politics, and viral Reddit “meta” events simply for upvotes Why a huge viral hit may produce surprisingly few new followers or Patreon supporters Why effort and artistic complexity don't necessarily translate into social-media success The value of clarity, brevity, and consistency on Reddit Knowing when a topical comic is nevertheless necessary because it's true to the characters Sunday Comix, a webcomic collective and email newsletter designed to help cartoonists reach readers without depending entirely on social-media algorithms Fran's experience offers an especially useful reminder for cartoonists trying to build an audience online: don't confuse attention with audience growth. A trendy comic might earn tens of thousands of upvotes, but the work that builds a lasting readership is the work that gives people a reason to come back for your characters.

Can going viral actually grow your business… or are most brands chasing attention without knowing what to do with it?Joel Macadar is the founder of 8original, a multi-award-winning social media agency that has generated more than half a billion organic views in the last 12 months.In this episode of Building The Brand, Joel breaks down the social media strategy behind viral content, organic growth, TikTok marketing, Instagram content and turning online attention into real commercial results.Connect with Joel Macadar:https://www.linkedin.com/in/joelmacadar/Want more from Building The Brand? Connect here:https://buildingthebrand.co.uk/newsletterHe explains why brands destroy potentially successful content by over-controlling the creative process, how the “road to beige” turns social-first ideas into forgettable adverts and why 8original operates a post-first, feedback-afterwards model designed around speed rather than endless approval processes.Joel also reveals why shares can be more valuable than likes or views, how his team connects TikTok virality with high-intent Google searches and why understanding the psychology behind a social media trend is far more powerful than simply copying whatever is currently going viral. Plus, the changing relationship between football, creators and traditional media - including Baller League, Cristiano Ronaldo, Erling Haaland and the rise of live, behind-the-scenes social content at major sporting events.KEY MOMENTS:0:00 — Social media strategy in 2026: what brands are getting wrong02:17 — How to turn viral social media attention into revenue07:23 — The “road to beige” that destroys great social content09:23 — Why 8original posts first and gets client feedback afterwards12:25 — Why shares can matter more than likes and views16:28 — How TikTok virality can drive high-intent Google searches23:26 — How to spot social media trends before competitors40:02 — From football agent to building a social media agency46:15 — Why live sports content is changing football media54:38 — Baller League, content distribution and the power of speed1:03:54 — Cristiano Ronaldo vs Erling Haaland: personal brand strategy1:13:43 — How AI will change social media marketing1:19:22 — Using ChatGPT and Claude for content creation and marketing1:23:43 — How Push Play uses AI to automate content repurposing1:27:16 — Scaling a founder-led agency by learning to step back

Kaum ist der letzte Shitstorm verdaut, steuern Basti und anredo schon auf den nächsten zu. Denn eine überraschende Femboy-Vorliebe in Bastis Freundeskreis wirft Fragen auf… Nach der letzten Episode hat’s geknallt. Wegen der viralen Clips zu Kaulitz & Kaulitz stehen anredo und BastiMasti plötzlich mitten im Shitstorm. Basti hat Bill Kaulitz (ironisch) als alkoholkrank bezeichnet und das Internet rennt mit Mistgabeln durch die Kommentarspalten. Gleichzeitig meldet sich die Feuerwerksbubble wegen anredos Theorie über die vermeintlich sabotierte Drohnenshow bei den Kölner Lichtern. Langsam fragen sich beide, ob sie Social Media überhaupt noch beherrschen oder selbst Teil des Problems geworden sind. Wie viel Provokation braucht Content in sozialen Medien und wie hält man die Reaktionen danach aus? Zwischen Kritikresistenz, eskaliertem Community Management und einem wilden Algorithmus-Problem beginnt anredo, die sogenannte Social-Media-Strategie zu hinterfragen. Dann folgt eine Geschichte, mit der niemand gerechnet hat: Basti entdeckt in seinem vermeintlich heterosexuellen und eher konservativen Heimat-Freundeskreis plötzlich eine gemeinsame Vorliebe für Femboys. Und zwar erstaunlich offen und erstaunlich konkret. Woher kommt diese neue Faszination? Ist das ein Zeichen für veränderte Rollenbilder, eine bislang unausgesprochene homoerotische Fantasie oder wird hier lediglich ein Fetisch zur nächsten Pornokategorie? Basti und anredo versuchen herauszufinden, was gerade passiert und merken schnell: Nach dem letzten Shitstorm bewegen sie sich schon wieder auf verdammt dünnem Eis. Doch auch in den anderen Tagesordnungspunkten geht es wild her: Basti erklärt E-Scooter zum maximalen Aura-Loss und anredo entdeckt mit WorldGuessr eine vermeintlich brandneue Welt. Dazu kommen das erneute Ende von Punica, eine mysteriöse Paw-Patrol-Gemüse-Kooperation bei Lidl und heiße Gerüchte zu einer Neuauflage von Kevin allein zu Haus. Diese und alle anderen Episoden #rundfunk17 findet ihr unter anderem bei Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Deezer und als RSS-Feed.

Every school is on social media. Almost none of them have built anything like what MIT has. Daniel sits down with Jenny Fowler, Director of Social Media Strategy at MIT and author of a book on organic social media, to break down the playbook behind growing the university's following to more than 7 million people across platforms, entirely organic, in a category most brands would consider one of the hardest to win. Jenny walks through her six M framework (mission, message, medium, management, metrics, monitoring) and why "medium," picking the one platform you can actually dominate, is the piece most brands skip first. She also explains why she refuses to chase algorithm changes, staying the course on strategy even when the numbers dip, because reacting to every shift means the algorithm never actually learns your audience. Plus, Jenny breaks down her "dream team" structure for a social department (a director, a manager, and specialist creators instead of platform experts), why social needs to sit at director or VP level to survive internal pressure, and how she stress tests every post for how it could get misread or trolled before it ever goes live. If you're a Marketer who wants a real playbook for building community instead of just a following, this is the episode for you.

Let's be honest — social media can feel like a full-time job you never applied for.

Brent is joined by Paige Kosinski, co-founder of Odyssey Entertainment Group, an influencer talent management company that has grown from a boutique operation into a mid-size powerhouse. The conversation covers the evolution of the creator economy, the art of matching talent with brands, and the practical steps aspiring creators need to take to build sustainable careers. Whether you are a merchant looking to leverage influencer marketing or a creator hoping to monetize your platform, this episode delivers real-world guidance from someone who lives and breathes this space every single day.Key TakeawaysConsistency beats follower count. Algorithms reward creators who show up regularly, and brands now prioritize engaged communities over raw follower numbers.Start with one clear focus. Creators should establish expertise in a single area before expanding into lifestyle content. That focus gives audiences a reason to stick around.Brand partnerships drive the bulk of creator revenue. Beyond one-off deals, long-term collaborations with aligned brands create stability for both the creator and the company.AI-generated content can backfire. Audiences are quick to spot avatar-driven or AI-produced material, and brands are even adding contract clauses to limit AI use in creative deliverables.The creator economy welcomes every generation. Gen X influencers are thriving on social platforms, proving that audience-building has no age requirement.Personal branding comes first. Monetization follows naturally when a creator invests in building a genuine, recognizable brand with clear content pillars.Cross-platform presence matters. Successful creators post across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest depending on where their audience lives.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Odyssey Entertainment Group01:53 The Evolution of Influencer Management05:11 Matching Influencers with Brands09:03 The Importance of Community and Niche10:07 Engaging Older Audiences11:11 Navigating Different Platforms12:39 Building a Personal Brand13:31 Public Speaking and Influencer Opportunities14:33 The Role of AI in Content Creation17:21 Getting Started as an Influencer18:55 Closing Thoughts and Promotions ResourcesOdyssey Entertainment Group - https://www.odysseyentertainmentgroup.comErica Ver - PianyandHoney - https://www.instagram.com/pianyandhoneyWall Blush Modern Manor Collection - https://wallblush.com/collections/modern-manor

In this eye-opening episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley sits down with CBT News co-founder and automotive industry veteran Jim Fitzpatrick for a conversation that every dealer principal, general manager, and automotive leader needs to hear. "The FTC is going to be saying, look, you can't play games with this. If your salesperson is out there pitching a price on a car... your salesperson is now going to be representing to the consumers what the sale price of that car is." - Jim Fitzpatrick As the FTC increases its focus on dealership advertising, pricing transparency, and consumer protection, many retailers are left wondering: Is my dealership truly prepared? Sean and Jim unpack one of the most important topics facing the automotive industry today, exploring how regulatory changes, compliance expectations, and evolving consumer demands are reshaping the dealership landscape. From pricing disclosures and advertising practices to the growing influence of social media and personal branding, this discussion highlights why old habits could create new risks in today's market. "We're really bringing together the smartest minds in retail automotive or most of them, to bring them together to say, look, let's help dealers figure this thing out." - Jim Fitzpatrick Without giving away all the answers, this episode challenges dealers to think differently about compliance, leadership, training, and accountability. More importantly, it highlights why staying informed and proactively adapting may be one of the biggest competitive advantages a dealership can have moving forward. Whether you're a dealer principal, GM, GSM, compliance officer, or automotive professional, this conversation will help you better understand the road ahead and why industry leaders are paying close attention to the conversations surrounding FTC enforcement, dealership operations, and the future of automotive retail.

Harnessing Regulatory Compliance and Social Media Strategy in Automotive Sales: Insights from Industry Leaders Key Takeaways Social Media Compliance: Dealerships must enforce strict social media policies to ensure compliance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations and protect their brand image. Price Transparency: Aligning advertising strategies with FTC guidelines on fair pricing can prevent costly violations and enhance consumer trust. Training and Policies: Implementing comprehensive training programs and policies can safeguard dealerships against potential regulatory breaches and maintain operational integrity. Navigating the Complex World of Social Media Compliance In the ever-evolving automotive industry, dealerships face a growing demand to maintain transparency and compliance, particularly in the realm of social media. The transcript from a riveting conversation between Jim Fitzpatrick and Sean V. Bradley highlights the importance of ensuring dealership employees adhere to social media guidelines set by the FTC. Fitzpatrick asserts that social media has become crucial in portraying a dealership's brand and customer experience. "Take the influencers and have them talk about the experience, have them talk about the selection," he suggests, emphasizing content that avoids pricing to remain compliant. The conversation underscores the significant role dealerships' social media strategies play in forming consumer perceptions and regulatory compliance. With employees potentially acting as brand ambassadors online, the repercussions of non-compliant posts can be detrimental. Discounted prices or misleading offers shared on personal platforms, as Fitzpatrick points out, can draw unwanted regulatory scrutiny. Dealerships are not just at risk of tarnishing their reputation but also face hefty fines. Simply put, ensuring a strategy that focuses on non-monetary aspects of the dealership experience can protect both brand and financial standing. Price Transparency: A Path to Building Consumer Trust Price transparency in dealership advertising is another crucial theme woven throughout the dialogue. The FTC, under the Biden administration, has intensified its focus on what it terms "junk fees" in various industries, including automotive. "Maybe the managers are saying, well, in order for us to be compliant, we're going to price ourselves right out of the marketplace," Fitzpatrick notes, acknowledging the balance dealerships must strike between competitive pricing and regulatory adherence. According to Bradley, the importance of consistency across advertised prices and what consumers actually pay when they walk into a dealership cannot be overstated. Misleading pricing not only disrupts consumer trust but also exposes dealerships to severe penalties. With the FTC reportedly sending out 97 warnings to dealerships about these practices, the industry is on high alert. Dealerships must ensure that their advertising reflects the actual purchase price, minus incentives, to maintain compliance and consumer confidence. Comprehensive Training and Policies for Sustainable Operations Both Bradley and Fitzpatrick adamantly express the importance of robust training and policy establishment to mitigate the risks of regulatory infringements. Fitzpatrick underscores the need for ongoing employee education, suggesting that training programs specifically tailored to reinforce compliance norms can be a dealership's strongest defense. "If you don't have ongoing training in this area…you have no defense," he mentions. Bradley concurs, emphasizing the necessity of consistent managerial oversight and the implementation of structured communication protocols, such as computer use policies. These measures not only ensure that the dealership aligns with federal regulations but also empower employees with the knowledge they need to uphold the company's reputation. Comprehensive, routine audits and training can preemptively address and rectify potential compliance issues before they escalate to external disputes or regulatory scrutiny. Navigating the intricacies of compliance in the automotive industry requires a proactive and strategic approach. By fostering a culture of transparency and accountability through comprehensive training and controlled social media strategies, dealerships can fortify themselves against regulatory pitfalls. As the conversation between Bradley and Fitzpatrick poignantly illustrates, these measures not only safeguard against financial penalties but also contribute to building a resilient, consumer-focused brand reputation in a competitive industry landscape.
