Did you know your thumbs travel two marathons a year scrolling through social media, news articles, and shopping sites on your phone? 👍

Katelyn Bourgoin, CEO of Customer Camp, explains why creating thumb-stopping content is tricky:

"A lot of marketers struggle with getting people to stop scrolling. There are a lot of people who are competing for that kind of initial attention. If you can't capture people's attention in five seconds, they're already gone and doing something else."

It’s why Katelyn came up with the 5 F’s of creating un-ignorable content to help you grab your target buyer’s attention and get them to pay attention to your marketing.

In this Marketing Powerups episode, you’ll learn:

1. The 5 F's of attention.
2. Real-world examples of each of those F's.
3. One piece of tip that helped accelerate Katelyn's career.
