Welcome to the Clicks to Bricks Podcast! This is Episode 0, in which we will lay down the foundations of the show and explain to listeners why there is a need for a podcast dedicated to multi-location marketing. Kicking off this podcast, your host Rob Reed and guest Joergen Aaboe are interviewing one another, asking questions about the relevance of the podcast, giving listeners a glimpse of what they can expect, and mapping out the profile of guests that will be featured on the show. The two discuss their former involvement with MomentFeed, how the last decade has culminated in the multi-location landscape marketers know today, and how smartphones have altered the dynamic of marketing.
What emerges from the conversation is the importance of connection to the consumer if you want to remain competitive as a marketer in 2020 and onward. Grabbing the attention of your audience is no longer the top priority; instead, marketers are now competing to keep the consumer interested by finding innovative ways to connect with them.
