Forget the Eiffel Tower, kids—we're climbing the recruitment rollercoaster instead. Upwork's shopping spree in Holland (Bupty? Buptie? Bupkis?), Denmark's going full Face/Off to keep Nic Cage off Viggo's jawline, and the UK is suddenly allergic to Fridays. Joel's out dropping Cole at college, so Chad is joined by Belgium's royal pain Lieven and Scotland's deep-fried-pizza poet Stephen McGrath. Loud Americans, entitled tourists, and the four-day work week—this one's got more punch than a Glasgow nightclub at 2 a.m.
What makes a landing page irresistible? Should your pop-ups always take over the whole screen? And is it actually worth asking for birthdays and half birthdays on your forms?

Today I interview Bella Rose Mortel, a social media strategist and creative copywriter known for building authentic, high-impact digital brands. Currently at beehiiv, she leads content + strategy across LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Instagram and other platforms, blending strategy with storytelling to drive growth and engagement. With a background at Workweek and Morning Brew, plus her own Gen Z–focused newsletter The Personality Hire, she's passionate about making B2B content feel human, relevant, and genuinely fun.In this interview, we discuss the critical importance for creators to "own their audience" through an email newsletter, as social media platforms can be unreliable due to algorithm changes or potential bans. Bella Rose highlights beehive's key differentiators from competitors like Substack, including its 0% cut on paid subscription revenue (only Stripe fees apply), a built-in ad network that offers sponsorship opportunities with no minimum subscriber count (even for those with as few as 100 subscribers), and a new fully integrated website builder. The discussion also covers beehiiv's tools designed to make content creation easier, such as AI writing assistance and various newsletter and website templates, emphasizing its role as an all-in-one platform to simplify growing and monetizing a content business. Bella Rose also shares insights from her dual perspective as a newsletter creator and social media strategist, explaining how newsletters foster a deeper connection with an intentional audience compared to the passive scrolling on social media, and offering practical advice on managing multiple social platforms.Find Bella Rose:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bellarosemortel/Newsletter: The Personality Hire - https://bella-roses-newsletter.beehiiv.com/t/lifestyle Find beehiiv:Web: https://www.beehiiv.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beehiiv/ Sign Up for The Weekly Email Roundup: NewsletterLeave a Review: Apple PodcastsFollow Me on Instagram: @danielhillmedia
What do Michael Kors, Blue Nile, and Typeform have in common? More than you'd think. Daniel's OUT, Tamara's IN. She's joined by Kevin Branscum, a brand leader who's worked across fashion, luxury, and B2B SaaS.

And, Brand can (and should) be an “always on” refresh.

Most of your marketing is going to fail. And that's not a problem…unless you pretend it didn't. Daniel and Jay get honest about falling on your face and getting back up again. Jay breaks down how even “successful” metrics, like a 47% open rate, are still rooted in failure and why marketers need to get comfortable with those numbers if they ever want to grow. Daniel emphasizes the importance of creating a culture where failure is analyzed and shared. And, they explore how holding onto a bad idea can drain budgets, tank morale, and stop better ideas from getting the attention they deserve. How do you pick things up when it seems like a failure? This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about going when the going gets tough.

When Sandy Mangat joined Pocus as its first go-to-market hire, there was no brand, no messaging, and only a Webflow template and a Fiverr logo to start with. Daniel's out, Tamara is IN…and she's got a special guest and startup Marketer Sandy Mangat. They talk about the realities of being a startup's first Marketer: how to decide where to focus when everything feels urgent and why brand and demand aren't separate. As a solo marketer at a seed-stage startup, Sandy had to balance big-picture strategy while building a category, a community, and a cult following from the ground up. How do you start from scratch? Plus, why is “delusional optimism” the best skill to have? Sandy walks us through her mindset.

Templates suck. Daniel and Jay dive into how templates (like the ones you find on Canva and Illustrator) may actually be hurting your content, not helping it. Relying on cookie-cutter templates, whether for email, social media, or design, can make your brand invisible. When everyone's using the same templates, how can you stand out? Daniel argues that people subconsciously scroll past templates on social feeds because they look like everything else. Jay even says breaking patterns and not doing what everyone else is doing is the real key to standing out in social or email. Plus, is it a greater conversation about formulaic thinking? This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about getting creative and thinking outside of the box.

If your content isn't getting clicks, it might not be broken. It might be brilliant. You're just measuring it wrong. Daniel sits down with Amanda Natividad, VP of Marketing at SparkToro and the creator of the now-legendary concept “zero click content.” They break down how to develop world-class marketing taste, why linkless content wins, and what most teams misunderstand about modern content strategy. Amanda unpacks the origins of zero click marketing, how she turned a casual comment into a viral framework, and why content that lives natively on social is more powerful (and measurable) than you think. She and Daniel explore how to reverse-engineer content that sparks DMs, shares, and real-world conversations, not just vanity metrics. And, how do you align your team to define “good” if everyone has differing opinions? If you've ever struggled to justify social ROI, align your boss around modern KPIs, or just want to create content that makes your audience say “holy sh*t, that's me,” this episode is your playbook.

Having thousands of followers seems like the peak of social media. BUT, does that number actually matter? Truth is, while follower count is important, social is evolving past just follower count. It's becoming more and more about engagement, content, and playing the algorithm. How does social proof play a role in whether or not someone engages with your content? Why does having too many followers look sketchy to others? Daniel shares how some brands are creating multiple accounts to get way more views on clips.

Marketing is easy to understand as a Marketer, duh. But to other departments (like Finance, Ops, Sales, etc.), it can be hard to get them to understand WHY your company needs Marketing.

Recorded during HITEC, #NoVacancyNews had the privilege of chatting with Michael Schubach Shubach from Rosen Hotels & Resorts to explore how #hoteltechnology, people-first thinking, and bold ideas could reshape the hospitality industry. ✨ Key highlights from our conversation: • Why Rosen is exploring a 4-day workweek with 5-day workweek pay as a real benefit of AI-driven productivity • How sharing automation gains with employees—rather than only owners—can build unmatched loyalty • Tackling class divides in hospitality by returning more time (instead of promising remote work that frontline staff can't access) • Using technology to remove workplace monotony and open paths for growth, not just cost-cutting • What it means to truly care for your people beyond the usual perks and policies It's not just about doing things differently—it's about rethinking why we do them at all.
Influencer marketing isn't just for DTC anymore and Sarah Adam is here to prove it. As the force behind Wix's growing B2B influencer strategy, Sarah shares how she built a program from scratch to scale, working with hundreds of creators across LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and more. And, there's something that most B2B marketers get wrong about influencer campaigns, why a good brief should actually be brief, and how to think about cost-per-view in an opaque market where creators set the rules. Plus, we find out how Wix measures success, selects creators, balances creative freedom with brand guardrails, and manages long-term partnerships…all without over-engineering or over-scripting. Whether you're an influencer marketer looking for some new strategies or working on your first creator campaign, this is the episode for you.

Do waitlists even matter to customers anymore? Or are they a waste of time? Daniel says it depends, but basically, lists are important in marketing. Getting email addresses of important people (including people that are interested in your brand) should always be a priority. But, there are some instances where a wait list wouldn't make sense, like a free virtual event. Jay and Daniel talk about building hype…and what to do when that hype gets busted. Plus, what's the biggest hacks in DTC vs. B2B SaaS? One is using the term “sold out” for social proof and the other is beta access. The OG upsell has always been a long line. How do you do that with a virtual service or product? This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about waiting…and waiting…and more waiting.

Are we working too much? “Time is a vital resource for us to connect with each other, to connect with the earth and …to come together in solidarity, to try and fix what's wrong.” We have accepted the 5 day work week as the status quo—caught in a cycle of working more so we can spend more, just to keep up with the Jones'. But what if there's a better way to live: For our own happiness, the economy, and our planet? Economist and Sociologist Juliet Schor, has spent decades researching the way we work, and her new book - The Four Day Week - invites all of us to imagine a future where work is restructured to serve human needs, not the other way around.

It makes sense that if you want to cut down on the amount of spam email you get, just unsubscribe from those emails. WAIT! That could make things worse. There is a better way to handle spam emails, and I begin this episode by explaining how. https://www.yahoo.com/news/warning-hitting-unsubscribe-unwanted-emails-115900557.html Predicting the future is a losing game most of the time. Still, a lot of influential people spend a lot of time and money trying to do it. People forecast where the stock market is going, they predict trends in fashion, technology and everything else. It makes you wonder if all that effort and money trying to predict the future actually helps to make it happen. So why is the future so unpredictable? What forces do shape the future? Joining me to discuss this is Glenn Adamson, former director of the Museum of Arts and Design, New York. He has held appointments as Senior Scholar at the Yale Center for British Art and he is the author of the book, A Century of Tomorrows: How Imagining the Future Shapes the Present (https://amzn.to/442HOfb). People have been floating the idea of a 4-day workweek for over 60 years. Yet it is still not the norm. Why hasn't it caught on? Is it a good idea? Will it ever be a real thing? Here with some interesting insight into the 4-day workweek is Juliet Schor. She is an economist, and professor of sociology at Boston College. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, People and 60 Minutes. She is also the author of a book called Four Days a Week: The Life-Changing Solution for Reducing Employee Stress, Improving Well-Being, and Working Smarter (https://amzn.to/4jQSvr0). There are a lot of weight loss programs and strategies available for people. But what if there was one simple, common sense, easy to do tactic that is proven to help people lose weight effectively? There is. It so simple. And I will tell you exactly how to do it. https://www.ornish.com/zine/proven-benefits-keeping-food-journal/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
