This year was an AMAZING year of podcast guests.Today, I wanted to reflect on and recap 12 of my favorite lessons from this year.1. Creative Thinking as a Competitive Advantage - Million Dollar Mindset (Ep 231)This episode was the most shared episode of the year. It ended up in a few forums and got a lot of love. What helped Will and the team grow Organifi from $18M annually to over $100M? It wasn't just hard work. It was creative thinking and problem-solving.Learn the secrets of Moneyball, the Hollywood Black List, and more!2. You Can 13X Through Creative, Data-Driven Marketing - Brendan Bannister (Ep 221)In a similar vein to the podcast with Will Hughes, this interview with Brendan Bannister was a banger. Brendan ran paid media for William Painter during their years of meteoric growth. We talk about the power of design and simplicity. 3. What You Don't Know About Your Customer Is Costing You. The Missing Piece to Your Attribution, CRO, and Marketing Is Customer Insights - Trevor Crump (Ep 250) / Jeremiah Prummer (Ep 262) I'm completely sold on the idea that when done properly, customer surveys uncover tremendous insights that will shift how you advertise, position, and optimize your products. I cover my 4 favorite questions to ask in post-purchase surveys. 4. Why Your Price Is Likely Wrong and What to Do About It - Byron Myers (Ep 255)The way you set your initial price is not the way you determine your optimal price. There's an optimal price for rev maximization and one for profit maximization. How does demand and conversion rate shift when price increases or decreases? After you get some data, you need to get scientific. Chart out your demand curve and conversion rate to find your ideal price. This isn't static, though. You should be testing at least 2 times per year or likely every quarter. 5. Customer Value Optimization Trumps CRO Every Time. And It Informs CRO. - Drew Sanocki (Ep 245)Not all customers are created equally. You have some whales (your most valuable) and some minnows (your least valuable). What's more important than almost anything else you do is identifying whales and attracting more of them. This is a key part of understanding that there are only 3 ways to grow your business:Get more new customersGet each customer to spend more (raise your AOV) Get customers to buy more often (increase LTV) 6. Organic Growth on YouTube. 3 Types of Content. - Liz Germain (Ep 234)YouTube is the 2nd most visited site on the planet. Users spend a TON of time on the platform. If you're good at creating content, you can build a large following and drive awareness and traffic for your brand. In this episode, I talk to YouTube pro, Liz Germain, about the 3 types of content you must create to build an organic following.7. Brand is Everything - Person Rutherford (Ep 260)Want a huge exit? Want all of your advertising efforts to improve? Want greater retention and higher LTVs? Want to charge a premium? You need to focus on brand building.The good news is you can do this profitably.If you want customers to seek you out by name, tell others about you, and feel pride in associating with your products, you need a BRAND. Preston Rutherford, one of the co-founders of Chubbies who had a 9 figure IPO, knows all about this. Brand building can't be done overnight. It's a long

YouTube is a different beast. It has arguably greater reach than Facebook, with more ad inventory available. But it's not easier to scale on. And it's not easier to measure. For brands that get it right, YouTube can accelerate growth like no other.Take Dr. Squatch as an example. They scaled from $3 million per year to over $150 million per year, in large part due to the success of their YouTube ads. The same goes for Manscapped, William Painter, Organifi, and DOZENS more.This episode is unique because Jacques Spitzer and I interview each other! Jacques is the CEO of Raindrop (the creative agency behind Squatch, Manscapped, Shady Rays, and more) and the podcast host Marketing People Love. OMG and Raindrop have collaborated on several campaigns (including NATIVE), with Raindrop handling the creative side and OMG handling the media and strategy. In this show, we discuss:Why most brands get YouTube creatives wrong and how to fix it.Why measuring YouTube performance is harder than most and why you're probably not measuring YouTube properly.How to truly achieve “exit velocity” with YouTube.Getting the proper view of brand lift, search lift, and halo effect from YouTube ads.Creative breakthroughs and much, much more.

Brendan Bannister, the CEO of Naturalabs.io, is one smart marketer.  We first met in 2018 when he was the CMO and Creative Director at William Painter. After taking my YouTube/Google course, he scaled ad spend on YouTube from $2k per day to $100k per day!  We decided to start meeting and swapping ideas, war stories, and things we were testing. We soon realized the value of sharing this knowledge with others and decided to record a session and bring it to the world!  In this episode, we dive into CRO, creatives, data-driven marketing, R&D for marketing departments, and the golden years for YouTube and Facebook Ads and how they achieved 13x growth for William Painter.  Here are some highlights:  How the famous da Vinci quote, “Simplicity is Ultimate Sophistication” should be a guiding principle for marketers. Is media buying dead? If so, what is taking its place? How good brands are sort of like algorithms. “Design is hack” and what that means for your marketing efforts. The role “brand” plays in your ability to scale. Why Brendan is now living and working full-time in Dubai. Plus more!

What's the secret behind the runaway success of Dr. Squach, Manscapped, William Painter, Ruggable, Lume, and more?   Product design that people love is part of it.They also leveraged FANTASTIC creatives. They didn't just create ads that converted; they had ads that viewers loved.   This allowed for scaling. They entered the rare space of being able to scale profitably to 10 million, 20 million, several hundred million views - profitably.   Dr. Squatch rode the wave of incredible creatives from a $3 million annual run rate to hundreds of millions in yearly sales.   How did they do it? They tapped into Raindrop's creative genius and its CEO Jacques Spitzer.   Raindrop is one of my favorite creative shops and the creators of the videos for brands listed above, plus Native (also an OMG Client), Worx, Happy Egg, and more.   Here's a look at what we cover in the episode: Why you shouldn't start a video project by deciding what YOU want to say. Follow Jacques advice instead. How you're likely assuming way more attention than your prospects are giving. How ads that scale can completely change the game. What people are really buying when they buy your product. Do shoppers actually care about your why? What branded performance creative is and why it makes scale and brand lift so much easier.

They care about opportunities that are available to them to solve their problems.”

Genre: Free Audiobooks, Love, Love Story, Audiobooks, Classics, Classic Fiction, Shakespearean Tragedy Best Free Audiobooks of All Time: Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare (complete free audiobook). Summary & Background: The plot is based on an Italian tale translated into verse as The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke in 1562 and retold in prose in Palace of Pleasure by William Painter in 1567. Shakespeare borrowed heavily from both but expanded the plot by developing a number of supporting characters, particularly Mercutio and Paris. Believed to have been written between 1591 and 1595, the play was first published in 1597. In the 20th and into the 21st century, the play has been adapted in versions as diverse as George Cukor's 1936 film Romeo and Juliet, Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 version Romeo and Juliet, and Baz Luhrmann's 1996 MTV-inspired Romeo + Juliet.

Our next foray into Luhrmann territory is his version of the 16th-century play: WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S ROMEO + JULIET (1996). Sam goes off on one about one of his pet topics, and we take things further by discussing the playful and inventive qualities of the play brought out by Luhrmann — along with his innovative use of pop culture and the art of the soundtrack.Next WeekThe next Baz Luhrmann film sees us jumping into the next decade, with AUSTRALIA (2008), available here: https://www.amazon.com/Australia-Shea-Adams/dp/B001UG56ES.This Week's MediaQ — THE WINGED SERPENT (1982): Larry Cohen, Michael Moriarty, Candy ClarkBROEN IIII (2018): Hans Rosenfeldt, Sofia Helin, Kim BodniaRecommendations THE USUAL SUSPECTS (1995): Bryan Singer, Kevin Spacey, Gabriel Byrne DANGEROUS MINDS (1995): John N.

Shakespeare's primary sources were a 1562 Arthur Brooke poem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tragical_History_of_Romeus_and_Juliet) and a prose work, published later in the 1560s by William Painter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Painter_(author)). Rob mentions Bertolt Brecht (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertolt_Brecht) as a touchstone for the opening presentation of the drama; for more on Brechtian stage mechanics, see here: https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/english/documents/innervate/09-10/0910jonesebrecht.pdf. Rob refers to ‘smash cuts' a couple of times — if, like Sam, you felt you needed to look this up, then this may help: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SmashCut.

Patrizia Barbuiani a Radio Petruska racconta del suo nuovo lavoro teatrale WORDS IN PROGRESS – Romeo & Giulietta, in scena nei teatri in Svizzera e in Italia. Informazioni su Patrizia Barbuiani, sulla compania teatrale TEATROX e sulla produzione a http://www.barbuiani.com Opus TeatralLetterarioMusicale da Ovidio a Shakespeare alla ricerca della storia dei due amanti veronesi fra tragedia e commedia. Costumi SETTIMA BONELLI Scenografia MARTIN WIESER Luci ANDREA COSENTINO Fotografia FIZZO Photo Book Film Video ALESSANDRO PREMOLI Produzione TEATROX | Markus Zohner Arts Company UNA STORIA UNIVERSALE Dal remoto Oriente questa storia che lungo i secoli è filtrata dall’est all’ovest, dal sud al nord, che si è trasformata in Giulietta & Romeo e poi in Romeo & Juliet, viene adattata e rivissuta in un nuovo affresco teatrale e in musica. Gesto, parola, danza, immagini, composizioni musicali moderne, accompagnamento dal vivo per questa nuova accattivante produzione che fa della tragedia una commedia e della commedia una tragedia. Un percorso teatrale e musicale che rende omaggio a quella creatività universale, che come una fiaccola lucente, passa di mano in mano, da luogo a luogo, da epoca ad epoca per illuminare il cammino umano. La vicenda di questo amore infelice, ostacolato dalle famiglie, ha radici affini in tutto il mondo e la sua comparsa si perde nella notte dei tempi. Resa celebre dal grande drammaturgo inglese William Shakespeare questa storia è nata in tempi lontani ed è stata tramandata nelle sue varie sfaccettature dapprima in modo orale fino a fondersi con differenti soggetti e sfumature in scritti di differenti autori. Attraverso un approfondimento sui testi che hanno preceduto l‘opera di Shakespeare lo spettacolo parte ad Est dalla culla greca, dalla vicenda di „Piramo e Tisbe” tratteggiata da Ovidio (43 a.C-18 d.C.), passa per l‘assolato Sud in Italia dapprima con la novella di „Ganozza e Mariotto“ di Masuccio Guardati detto il Salernitano (1476), poi nella definitiva stesura della novella „Giulietta e Romeo“ ambientata a Verona da Luigi da Porto (1530), si sposta a Ovest in Francia nella traduzione di Pierre Boaistuau (1559), risale a Nord in Inghilterra nella rielaborazione in prosa di William Painter e nel poema narrativo di Arthur Brooke (1562), fonte diretta del Bardo di Stratford, che ne ha tracciato uno dei suoi drammi più interpretato ancora tutt‘oggi, Romeo and Juliet. PRIMO QUADRO Ovidio „Piramo e Tisbe“ Dell‘amore infelice di due giovani, Piramo e Tisbe, osteggiato dalle rispettive famiglie narra il poeta latino Ovidio (43 a.C-18 d.C.) nelle sue Metamorfosi, una sorta di arazzo affascinante in cui molte parti delle letterature greca e latina sono utilizzate e rifuse con unità di stile. Da queste due figure leggendarie e mitiche dell‘antica Grecia prende spunto parte della storia. SECONDO QUADRO Dante Alighieri „Divina Commedia“ I nomi delle due famiglie in lotta, Capuleti e Montecchi, erano già noti nel Trecento, inserite per la prima volta da Dante nella sua Divina Commedia (Purgatorio, VI, 105). I Montecchi sono veronesi, i Cappeletti (diventati poi Capuleti) sono in origine bresciani, anche se i novellieri futuri porranno la dimora poi in un’unica città. Il contesto storico in Dante non fa riferimento alle vicende dell’amore contrariato tra gli amanti di queste famiglie, che non appaiono. Piuttosto è un discorso politico contro le faide tra Guelfi e Ghibellini delle diverse città-stato che insanguinavano e dividevano l’Italia. TERZO QUADRO Masuccio Guardati „Ganozza e Mariotto“ Il percorso di un tema universale come quello dell‘amore infelice di due giovani approderà poi in seguito in una prima struttura della trama nella novella di „Ganozza e Mariotto“ di Masuccio detto Salernitano, composta nel 1476, ambientata a Siena. Sia il tono che la trama dell’opera mostrano delle notevoli differenze dall’opera di Shakespeare. Masuccio Salernitano insiste più volentieri, almeno all’inizio, sull’aspetto erotico e spensierato della loro relazione, ben lontana dall’aspetto di sacralità che acquisterà in seguito. L’ambientazione di Masuccio è molto più solare e mediterranea. QUARTO QUADRO Luigi da Porto „Giulietta e Romeo“ Luigi da Porto nella sua Historia novellamente ritrovata di due nobili amanti, pubblicata nel 1530 circa, diede alla storia molto della sua forma moderna, rinominando i giovani Giulietta e Romeo e portando l’azione da Siena a Verona. Nello spettacolo vengono inseriti anche alcuni stralci della traduzione di questa novella in francese elaborata da Pierre Boaistuau nelle sue Histoires Tragiques (1559), che a sua volta venne tradotta in inglese in versi, con il poema narrativo Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Juliet, scritto nel 1562 da Arthur Brooke. QUINTO QUADRO William Shakespeare „Romeo and Juliet“ Alcuni frammenti verranno proposti in ordine cronologico inverso rispetto al dramma. Si partirà dalla fine tragica per risalire al primo incontro fatidico di Giulietta e Romeo durante la festa di Carnevale. Atto unico durata 75 minuti senza pausa
