Episode notes

I've just launched a new YouTube channel !! The concept? I take real businesses struggling to stand the f*ck out, provide my positioning/branding/lead gen help, and record it all for YouTube. The first mini-series features three freelance marketers (copywriter Rob, ecommerce designer Laura, and non-fiction book coach Vicky). I hope you'll set aside half an hour to watch it through.

And then, the usual " Subscribe, Like, Share " would go a long, long way too. *** In 2023 a weary customer goes missing in the thickly wooded forest of deceased, indistinguishable marketing agencies. All that can be found are decrepit and horrifying websites with ghastly logos, zombified PPC, and the rotting smell of putrid SEO.

Cover your eyes as we speak with John Keating and Jennifer Sloan on how polarizing your brand and slashing away the status quo can lead to spine-chilling marketing that buries your competition alive.
