Six Pixels of Separation Podcast

Welcome to episode #300 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #21.20 of Across The Sound. Joseph Jaffe is widely regarded as one of the top Marketing Bloggers (Jaffe Juice) and Podcasters (both Jaffe Juice in audio and Jaffe Juice TV in video). He is the author of three excellent books (Life After The 30-Second Spot, Join The Conversation and Flip The Funnel) and recently launched his latest venture, Evol8tion. A long-time friend (and one of the main inspirations behind the Six Pixels of Separation Blog and Podcast), we've decided to hold monthly conversations, debates and back-and-forths that will dive a little deeper into the Digital Marketing and Social Media landscape. This is our 21st conversation (or, as I like to affectionately call it, Across The Sound 21.20). This week, we talk about brands and technology. Is Nike a sporting goods brand or a technology company? After Jaffe waits in line for close to an hour at SXSW to score a Nike FuelBand, you may be surprised by what we come up with.

Welcome to episode #299 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. I was honored to share the stage with Martin Lindstrom at The Art of Marketing last month in Toronto. If you listen to this Podcast and read my Blog but you've never heard of Martin Lindstrom, please drop everything and pick up each and every one of his brilliant marketing books. His last three gems are, Brandwashed, Buyology and BrandSense that should not be missed. Right after the event, Martin was kind enough to spend some time with me discussing everything from ethics in marketing to what we truly know about people and how they react and interact with brands. If you thought I was a massive marketing nerd, you ain't seen nothing yet! Enjoy the conversation... Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast - Episode #299 - Host: Mitch Joel.

Welcome to episode #298 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. We used to watch TV at night and discuss it the next day around the water cooler at work. Thanks to Social Media it's becoming increasingly more popular to share those magical TV moments on places like Facebook and Twitter while you're watching the show. The problem is that now with time-shifting and more and more people watching their favorite TV shows by downloading them from iTunes or watching them on Hulu, it's becoming abundantly clear that TV is becoming a very different medium. In their new book, Social TV - How Marketers Can Reach and Engage Audiences by Connecting Television to the Web, Social Media, and Mobile, marketing and communications professionals Mike Proulx and Stacey Shepatin from Hill Holliday look at the fascinating new world of TV and its convergence with Social Media.

Welcome to episode #297 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. How does creativity happen? Does it take a lot of time? Can brilliant creative just happen? What inspires creativity? Who is a creative? These are the questions and thoughts that we all engage and connect with as Marketing professionals in one way, shape or form at multiple times during our careers. We often lament the creatives as those who get to play all of the time or go to movies and grab coffees waiting for that moment of inspiration. Scratching beneath the surface, we begin to realize that those who we would hail as being the most creative are usually very hard and complex workers. It's a topic that is near and dear to the heart of Julie Burstein. In 2000, Julie created Studio 360 with Kurt Anderson for Public Radio International. It was a show that looked at creative people through in-depth conversation. Her first book, Spark - How Creativity Works, was one of those books that I just could not put down. Currently, she is the host of Pursuit of Spark - a Podcast that continues the conversations she started with her book, Spark. I had the pleasure of watching Julie present at this past TED conference and she was kind enough to spend some time with me, after her presentation, to discuss the topic of creativity and work.

Welcome to episode #296 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. I picked up the business book, The Art of the Pitch - Persuasion and Presentation Skills That Win Business, by Peter Coughter and could not put it down. My agency, Twist Image, was in the midst of a massive new business pitch and the book happened to fall into my lap at the perfect time. I devoured and loved the book. I learned a ton about the new business pitch process, and Coughter does a fantastic job of reframing what, exactly, needs to happen when a company pitches. The good news is that we won the business. The better news is that Coughter agreed to have a chat with me about his book and how to win new business. For over twenty years, Coughter was President of Siddall, Matus & Coughter Inc., one of the most respected advertising and communications agencies in the Southeast. His agency won industry awards and recognition from places like the American Marketing Association, One Show, Clios, Communications Arts, and many others. Today, he is a professor at Virginia Commonwealth University's Brandcenter, and to support his teaching habit, he spends a lot of time on the road working with organizations - from all walks of life - helping them to learn how to sell their ideas better.

Welcome to episode #295 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. While many companies were still lamenting a basic website back in the nineties, Gary Schwartz was already imagining how content, voice and mobility would change how we connect to one another... and the brands that serve us. For over a decade, Gary has been a leader in the mobile industry. He is CEO of Impact Mobile (offices in New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, etc...), is Chair of the Mobile Entertainment Forum and Chair Emeritus of the Mobile Committee for the Internet Advertising Bureau. Recently, he published his first book, The Impulse Economy - Understanding mobile shoppers and what makes them buy. He brings a plethora of experience and insights from the mobile landscape to our marketing world, and it's a true privilege to have him as a guest on the show this week. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #294 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast.What does it take to create and nurture a modern marketing agency in this day and age? The answer is not as obvious as it used to be. From choosing the right services to offer and finding the proper pricing structure, to being able to clearly identify your services to your clients and potential clients, it's a complex business to build and (sometimes) an even harder business offering to sell to clients. Paul Roetzer grapples with this - each and every day - as he builds his own marketing agency, PR 20/20, by trying to use a very different model. The Cleveland-based marketing professional has a deep affinity for inbound marketing and new pricing models, which he shares in his first business book, The Marketing Agency Blueprint - The handbook for building hybrid, PR, SEO, Content, Advertising, and Web firms. We dig deep into some of the tougher questions, and as you will hear, it doesn't always end with a definite answer, but with more questions and more experimentation (in the great tradition of entrepreneurship).

Welcome to episode #293 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Mark W. Schaefer over at Grow Blog is about to publish his second book, Return On Influence - The Revolutionary Power of Klout, Social Scoring, and Influence Marketing, which dissects the fascinating world of scoring an individual consumer's true influence in the online channels. While this is already a very contentious issue, there's something bigger happening is our online world that bears reflection: what, exactly, is leadership? Is it how many people follow someone on Twitter? Is it the success of a Facebook campaign? What about a successful Blog? In this Podcast, Mark and I debate the merits of true marketing leadership and what brands need to know as they continue to struggle with success metrics and ROI. I should also mention that the audio conversation recorded a little strangely (so apologies for non-perfect audio quality). Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #292 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. When I got my first offer to speak in front of a large audience, I wasn't sure where to turn for more professional public speaking and presentation skills training. Many names of individuals and organizations were fed my way, but one name that kept rising to the top was Nick Morgan. I immediately purchased his book, Give Your Speech, Change The World, and it did - in fact - change my world and perception of what a presentation is really all about. I eagerly bought his other book, Trust Me, and have become not only a fan of his every move (which isn't as creepy as it sounds), but also of his Blog, Public Words. In the marketing world, the best ideas don't always win. One of the main reasons is because they're not presented well (in essence, a poor presentation can kill the best of ideas). Being a great presenter is a core capability of some of the most respected business leaders and marketing professionals we've seen to date. Nick Morgan knows how to get you there. Just take a listen.
