Standing out in a crowded space
|
Read Time: 1 Minute How to stand out in a crowded spaceA while back I had the opportunity to interview Tim Davidson the Sr. Director of Marketing @ Directive. With a background in pay-per-click advertising, marketing leadership experience, and a fun-loving personal brand... There was a lot to take away from the conversation. Tim told me stories about how he ran an ad campaign with his face to get a competitive role at a desirable company. Stories about his process building a personal brand on LinkedIn (and the pitfalls along the way) & Stories about what it was like for him developing his skillset and getting into the industry. Overall, the conversation was one of my favorites from the last few months. & I talk to A LOT of marketers. Listen to the full 52-minute conversation here, and I hope you get as much from it as I did.

I (not paying much attention) had a great morning playing on my Gameboy in the corner. While we weren't a poor family, we were not rolling in cash either. We counted money carefully. Going out...
Read Time: 2.5 Minutes New Year, Old Me? Marketing is one of the most distracting professions. There are always new platforms, new strategies, new opportunities, etc. It's so easy to get caught up chasing trends and whatever the "new thing" is. The problem is this causes marketing teams to make the wrong decisions while chasing shiny objects. The grass isn't greener. So as we go into 2024, this is your reminder that most businesses don't need to reinvent the wheel this year. Often if you have...
Read Time: 4 Minutes Storytelling ... it's a forgotten art. Almost everyone knows what storytelling is. They even say they believe in it.
