For workers, this means being able to prove that your work is making an active difference for your company. While that doesn’t mean that you need to be directly responsible...

“Culture” is starting to feel like more of a generality, don’t you think? Companies fall back on pleasantries when describing day-to-day operations, and the one word that always comes up is “culture.” But what is good culture, and why is it so difficult to define? After all, team members need (and deserve) more than a pat on the back and a pizza party to establish company culture. In this week’s e...

“Tell me a little more about your business.” It’s a simple request that generates simple answers — 70-90 percent of sales generated come from workers, focused relationships, and referrals. The conversation gets a little trickier with the follow-up questions, particularly this one: “What’s stopping you from accelerating revenue growth?” This week, we sit down with David Rush, the CEO of SmallWorld...

It’s a little bit of everything, all of the time. Content is EVERYWHERE, and for many, it is EVERYTHING. Trends come and go, and millions upon millions of viewers are seeking the next “viral” video. The next “best” thing. If anything’s changed in marketing (or, rather, content creation), it’s that there are more content creators than ever, making for a busy space that keeps on growing. Add Artific...

The value of creativity only gets stronger as the industry adapts to consumer needs. However, do advances in technology necessarily require more and more complexity? In many cases, it doesn’t! Even commercials on TV and streaming services are utilizing more and more vertical-style videos from the consumer’s POV. As marketers adapt to trends, so must their creative content. What are marketing teams...

How easy is it for a marketing company to effectively produce a video? The answer is a lot simpler than you think — of course, the effectiveness comes down to proper orchestration and thoughtful planning, but even companies equipped with nothing but a smartphone have the opportunity to put out something great. In this episode of the Master Marketer Show, we sit down with Tara Robertson, the Head o...

It’s a hot take to say B2B is boring, but when compared to the glitzy nature of B2C, we can see the concern. Unlike the commercials intended for consumers (the ones with the A-List celebrities that are on 100 times a day), B2B marketing is not exactly glamorous by comparison. Fret not, for our latest guest can confirm that B2B does NOT have to be boring! In this episode, we sit down with Tim David...

How much weight are you putting behind your branding? Is it the core of your marketing, or are you hoping that your product speaks for itself?

What’s your philosophy? Is it kindness, excellence, tenacity, or a mixture of multiple ideologies?

Ah yes — the influencer. From the dawn of social media, influencers have long held the ability to connect brands to viewers and convert viewers to buyers. And so often, it looks effortless.

Let’s talk $$$.    When you have hundreds of millions of dollars to spend (so, lots of $$$), even on work as multi-faceted and demanding as marketing, it’s easy to get comfortable throwing large chunks of change at various ideas and seeing what “works”. But as this week’s guest, the multi-talented Adam Shaw , will tell you, it’s easy to slip into a lazy mindset when the wallet is too heavy. Now th...

What’s one of the buzziest buzzwords in marketing right now? C’mon… you got this… yeah. “Storytelling”. 🙄 The term has become ubiquitous in the B2B space but what does it really mean?

Too many brands put themselves at the center of the narrative, but Winona sa...
