  • Bonus Episode Here!

    And... This one hurts for one of our hosts. Having to produce episodes where we talked so much about football... when your team has lost (with seconds left in overtime)... is a little painful!

    It's a bonus episode where Jen and Megan not only talk about the BIG game (revisit of this 4 years ago), but we also compared the social media accounts of the 49ers and the Chiefs! Taylor's boyfriend has influenced those Chiefs numbers a smidge...

    Both teams have great social media presence! We will both fight another day.

    Rita Oak is the artist we mentioned who posts her drawings - check out her Twitter.

  • Short-form video is all the rage! On this episode we talk with a Meta Ads expert who is using short videos to teach.

    The enemy of done is perfection and that is one of our biggest takeaways from our chat with John Loomer -- just start.

    Learn about...

    - The importance of getting started and not overthinking: John emphasizes the key to creating effective short-form video content is to simply get started without worrying too much about perfection. The goal is to learn and improve with each video, so it's essential to not overthink the process and just start creating.

    - Consistency and long-term trust are crucial: Consistency is super important with short-form video content. Focus on your brand's messaging and create content your ideal audience will find interesting. Building long-term trust with your audience should be more important than chasing short-term gains.

    - Find the right tools and workflow for you: John uses the editing software ScreenFlow for creating short-form videos. But, every marketer has their own preferred tools, so it's important to use what you're comfortable with to help you achieve your goals. Finding a workflow that works for you and your brand is key.

    Our guest...

    Jon Loomer is a Meta ads educator who started jonloomer.com in 2011 and his private community PowerHittersClub.com in 2014. Jon focuses on the most advanced Meta advertising topics, helping his community look good and reach their goals along the way. Jon is an accidental marketer who started his business with hopes of creating the freedom he wanted to spend as much time with his wife and three sons as he could, dedicating countless hours as a baseball coach (now retired!). He’s now taking short-form video and AI head-on as we head into this next crazy phase of marketing.

  • Do you know what "zero click content" is? Our guest on this show coined the phrase and her approach to content development is super interesting. You might be reconsidering your social media strategy after hearing her on this one!

    "But if we're posting valuable content -- that people can consume just bite-sized pieces of -- or get that discrete value from just by scrolling through, we're going to increase our impressions. And then over time, ultimately, drive more traffic to our site or increase conversions from those impressions."

    The creator economy continues to evolve and Amanda Natividad will help us to be refreshing! Join us to explore a modern way to approach content marketing.

  • Our guest on this one is a repeater - her episode was the 4th most downloaded all-time at the time of publishing this (episode 88 - on personal branding)! She knows her stuff and is an absolute delight.

    There is nuance in how we approach opposing views online. How we approach it with our marketing is even more nuanced.

    "I think the biggest thing right now is we're in a really crazy space that we've never been in before, with everyone having access to so much information, so much misinformation, so much disinformation, that it is really, really hard for marketers to accurately and effectively not just target the group they want to speak to, but reach and break through."

    We get pretty deep about how marketers should look at inclusive strategy & language, authenticity, and awareness.
