Got Marketing?

I have frequently said that I’m no fan of the 50-page strategy doc with pretty charts and graphs that sits in a draw. Strategy can be scary, but it doesn't have to be. Strategy can actually be elegantly simple.  A few years ago, I came across a strategist on Instagram who I now quote all the time. In fact, my go-to definition for strategy is “an informed opinion about how to win”. He is Mark Pollard, and he joins me on the show today. Mark is a strategic trainer and author of “Strategy is Your Words”.  We're going to break down one of my new favourite strategy frameworks, the Four Points, which was created by Mark, and talk about where people tend to get stuck. We're also talk about strategy versus creativity, and what it means to be a creative strategist.   Got Marketing? is brought to you by Mia Fileman, a professional marketing strategist and the founder of Campaign Del Mar.    Connect with Mia Fileman: www.instagram.com/campaign_del_mar https://www.linkedin.com/in/miafileman/   Connect with Mark Pollard:   https://www.instagram.com/markpollard/ https://sweathead.com/   Free resources Free Marketing Calendar and Planning Session

Coach is another word that the gurus have tainted with their shady tactics and self-serving messaging. They are selling hot garbage and diluting the value of genuine, qualified coaches who are invested in empowering people to make meaningful changes.  If you want to work with a coach, there are key signs you should look out for to ensure you aren't just setting your money on fire. That's exactly why I've invited Penny Locaso, a transformational coach and therapist, to the show today. Penny is the founder of HackingHappy.co and a recent graduate of Campaign Classroom. In this episode, we talk about the coaching industry, where it's going wrong, and Penny's checklist for choosing a coach that is right for you. We're also talking about how Penny uses customer avatars to build deep and meaningful connections with her clients, and of course, we talk about the gurus.

If you've never done it before, working with a production company can be a daunting and a difficult thing. They speak another language, there's a lot of jargon to learn and a lot of misunderstandings about what really goes into creating fabulous video content.   As a lot of our listeners are planning campaigns, Today are going to discuss all things pre-production, production, and post production, and bust some myths about video production.   The person to have this chat out with me is none other than Tiffany Manzie, the Chief Executive and Producer at Global Headquarters here in the Northern Territory.     This podcast episode is a very special one as it was recorded live in the Global Headquarters studio.

Humans are inherently social creatures. Our desire for connection, community and belonging is hardwired into us on a physiological level, and through a marketing lens, it's really important to understand that the psychological phenomenon influences our purchasing decisions. If we're weighing out whether to buy a product or service, we naturally want to hear about other people's experiences. Did it meet and exceed their needs? Was it worth the investment? Do they recommend it? We could harp on until we're blue in the face about how wonderful our product or service is. But this only gets us so far. This is where social proof comes in. Today's episode of the Got Marketing? podcast is a very special one, because it is a live webinar I recorded with Lillie Brown, the Marketing Manager of Creative Plus Business. In the session, we discussed how you can harness the power of social proof in your own business, and it was such an exciting conversation.

We talk a lot about online business on this show, because that's what I do now, but I actually spent the first decade of my career in fast moving consumer goods brands like Black Swan Dips, Kraft and Bic. Recently, I have noticed that a lot of brand managers of these FMCG are joining our online programs, so it was probably about time to do an episode about it. I have invited my fellow FMCG-escapee Melissa Packham on the show to talk about this, and my weird love of super markets. Melissa Packham is a Brand and Marketing Strategist and the founder of Brand-Led Business. She empowers brand owners to make their impact with conscious brand and marketing strategies. Mel is a repeat offender, this is her third episode on the Got Marketing? Podcast!   This episode is part one of two on FMCG with Melissa Packham. Come back next week for part two.

Marketers are fantastic at convincing you that you need marketing, so business owners launch a business and dive straight in. However, the fastest way to go bust is when you grow too quickly without the suitable systems in place. Your marketing is only as effective as your systems. That is why I invited Nicole Smith, a lover of everything system design, to the Got Marketing? podcast for a chat. Nicole is the COO, Business Operations Specialist and Systems Designer from The Artisans Business Solutions. She works with businesses to bridge the gap between how they are currently working and how they want (need!) to be working so they can grow.
