Ep 35Hey B2B, how's your Content Marketing?

This is not your Mother's "Old School" marketing. This is "Content Marketing" and as you play with the big boys, there are some things you should know before you get started. Here's a wake-up call. Nobody cares about your product, they only care about their problems and how your product or service can solve those problems. Do you know how to dig deep and really define your solutions? Do you understand the process of building the message, or messages that will speak directly and connect with your best prospects? Content marketing fuels the three most important elements you've got. Those include "search", "social", and "Outbound". If you get any of these wrong, your competition gets your business. Listen and learn how you can change that.Ad Speaks Houston is a Houston audio production of Radio Lounge: Houston voice acting training classes , Houston podcast production studio

Ep 33"Early to Bed, Early to Rise, Work Like Hell and Advertise" - Jim McIngvale Speaks

He came to speak to the winners at the AEFH Scholarship Awards Luncheon, held annually as part of the American Advertising Federation Houston's educational outreach efforts. Jim McIngvale gave the room a whole bunch more about life in general, and how a focused attitude can beat the ups and downs the world deals out. He taught us how to "shine a light" on the issues, whatever they may be, to "get over" the bad days and get back up to make tomorrow a success. You might have heard this story before, but even so, it's worth a second listen. This is one of those speeches that would be a great family sit-down. Tell the kids to put down their devices and open their ears. Mac's message has no generational barriers, only great advice.Ad Speaks Houston is a Houston audio production of Radio Lounge: Houston voice over classes, Houston podcasting studio
