Press can be one of the best options in your marketing tool belt, provided you understand what you're doing. Products that are relevant to what's in the news, along with carefully curated press releases, can net you HUGE ROI with organic traffic. And if that's intimidating to you, hire a PR agent to help! They can help. Trust us.

035: Email Is NOT Dead: Why You Need To Seriously Consider Pivoting To First Party Data ft. Jason Oates
Kyle Kostechka interviewed the Chief Business Officer at LiveIntent, Jason Oates, about the role of programmatic email advertising in marketing, the death of the third party cookie, and how brands can pivot and start to develop their own first party data.
Primarily, the email address. A mobile ID and phone number are not enough. Email is the largest human identifier EVER created. Enrich your email address to authenticate other IDs and own your own data!
Email is not dying; it's thriving more than ever before. Email is like oxygen, EVERYONE needs it. It is larger than all internet activity combined and it's the number one way brands can communicate with customers.
E-comm brands should be leveraging programmatic ad platforms that have over 25000 publishers, because it's still a performance marketing platform.
Performance marketing is not a pricing model, it's an outcome.

033: Artificial Intelligence Will Never Replace This One Uniquely Human Skill ft. Chris Haddad
AI copywriting tools have rapidly changed the marketing landscape forever. Businesses are tripling their writing output, creativity, and conversions. However, world class copywriter Chris Haddad argues emotional storytelling is the one skill robots will never be able to replace (at least not for now 😎).
Chris argues that AI has the inability to empathize with human beings. And THAT'S where the money comes from; fears, shame, insecurities, and lack of self esteem are concepts AI have not yet mastered.
If you can understand empathy on a fundamental level, you can connect with any audience on the planet.
