A lot of marketers think launch starts on launch day…and they’re very wrong. In this new miniseries called Go To Market Plays, Daniel and Tamara break down go to market strategies in ten minutes or less. Tamara insists the best launches start months in advance, not just when you hit publish. Plus, Daniel and Tamara talk about launch seeding. People put too much pressure on launch day when it should really include moments before and after, so you’re not relying on just one day. Tamara gives an example from the Notion AI launch, too. And, how does being an early adopter of a product lead to brand loyalty? It’s all about how your product makes people feel. If you’re looking to launch something soon and need to clean up the strategy for it, this is the episode for YOU…and it’s short and sweet. ⌛ Follow Tamara: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamaragrominsky/ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

How do you get people to actually open emails AND engage with you? Daniel and Jay have some tips for you to take. First, you have to treat every email like it’s the receiver’s first email ever. Unlike social, you can’t just phone it in, so you HAVE to make it good right off the bat. Should you kick the non-engaged people off? Jay says that you should, because having a highly engaged list is better than a bigger one who doesn’t really interact with your content. And, Daniel suggests putting read times in your pre-headers could be the secret sauce to enticing readers. Can you test read times, emojis, and other creative things in pre-headers? Absolutely. This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about doing a little more with emails and seeing more impact. 🚽 Follow Jay: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/schwedelson/ Podcast: Do This, Not That Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

AI isn’t just a search engine and it isn’t just for research. It can be your secret weapon. Daniel’s sharing five prompts that can help YOU with generative AI. It’s more than just typing in a request and waiting for it to spit something out. Start building on your original request with questions like, “What emotional triggers are popping up?” or, “Why should people buy my product?” This gives you an opportunity to dig deeper and be more unique. Plus, how can ChatGPT help you with positioning? It’s a great way to reveal cracks and potential misfires in your already-existing strategy. And, it’s time to get your ICP in their feelings.

Money doesn’t grow on trees, we all know that. But, you don’t need to break the bank to see results. Daniel says that if you start boosting Instagram posts with $10 to $20 a week, you can still see meaningful results. Lots of people are under the impression that Instagram and Meta costs a ton of money, and that’s just not the case. Plus, you can even save some money if you want to network at industry events—without paying outrageous amounts of money in ticket fees. Jay shares how an exhibit hall hang out could be what you need. And, how do microinfluencers play a role in all of this? Sending them your product may be the right move.

Have a dog? If you’re a Millennial or Gen Z, there’s a good chance you’re already owning your first pet. But do you have pet insurance? According to statistics, you probably don’t. This episode’s guest, Trey Ferro, is in the business of making sure you and your pet are insured. From unexpected vet visits to making sure your pup is fully vaccinated, pet insurance can help you have peace of mind. But how do you market such a “complicated” product? The answer is personalization. Offering tiers and personalized quotes is a step in the right direction.

What do you get when you mix hats, social media channels, and a bunch of dads? Bart Szaniewski and his buddies created Dad Gang with the mission of bringing dads together with cool hats.

Hats were being sold faster than they could make them. How can you develop FOMO in your audience? It’s as easy as creating a sense of urgency for your next drop.

Think about all the acronyms you use as a Marketer: BOFU, TTM, CAC, the list goes on. You and your coworkers might know what they mean, but the general population doesn’t. So, this episode is all about the importance of keeping things simple and easy to understand. Daniel mentions his general rule: make sure your copy is written so simply that a five-year-old can read it. If you’re talking over people’s heads or using language they can’t understand, it won’t convert. Jay mentions that you don’t want to embarrass anyone, so avoiding acronyms and complicated language is a great start. Plus, how does describing a dish at a restaurant relate to content marketing? Jay gives an example.

Daniel’s solo and he’s gonna teach you how to write better. You need a hook or something that’s going to really capture attention. (Most people decide if they’re gonna read something within the first two seconds.) Then, cut the fluff. You don’t need flowery language or fancy writing to get the job done. Plus, do you really need a stronger opinion, or will your audience read anyway? Daniel says yes to the former and reveals why.

Healthcare is a HUGE industry. Marketing it is even bigger. How do you make sure it's effective? This episode’s guest, Andrea Becker, has seen it all during her 25 years in the healthcare marketing industry. And the KEY that hasn’t changed is trust. People’s health is no joke, and neither is access to care, information about symptoms, and tips and tricks. How can you build trust within your content? How do you make your content stand out amongst all the noise and (sometimes fake) information? Plus, the biggest challenge of healthcare marketing is that there’s SO much, including insurance companies and laws about advertising, that varies by area and even social media platform. And, healthcare marketing is using AI to its benefit. But it’s nothing to freak out about; Andrea reveals nothing will ever really be fully automated in the industry. If you’re a marketer who wants to learn more about the healthcare space and how it differs between generations, countries, and more, this is the episode for you.

Think about your company’s merch and swag bags. They could use a refresh, right? Who wants another mug with your logo or a battery pack that won’t charge anything? Jay reveals the biggest mistake when it comes to merch: contests. Why? You need to give people the perception that they actually have a chance to win the item. Plus, Daniel talks about how your items need to BE creative if you want to be seen as a creative brand. If not, there’s a good chance it’ll end up being unmemorable and in a landfill somewhere. This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about giveaways, fun little trinkets, and how you can get everyone excited about repping your brand. 🚽 Follow Jay: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/schwedelson/ Podcast: Do This, Not That Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

How do you create trust between your brand and its audience? How do you get people to truly know what you’re all about? Google something right now. What’s the first thing that pops up on the page? In the past, you’d say a website link or shopping suggestions. But now, you get AI summaries, suggestions, and more. We’ve got Marcus Sheridan to break down what’s happening and how SEO is transforming alongside AI capabilities. If your business is built on solely Google Ads and Google Search, it’s time to venture out and seek AI-focused strategies. And, Marcus talks about the buyer's journey and how it’s evolving. Gone are the days of needing a quote and requesting via form. Instead, companies are realizing that being upfront and transparent about cost are doing much better than those who don’t—and it’s all a part of a customer-featured self service model. Plus, how should companies measure and track success? The reality is that we can’t actually measure as accurately as we’d like to, BUT there’s so many ways to reframe success. If you’re a marketer who wants to level up your brand’s AI game and keep up with what’s happening with the latest in UX/CX, this is the episode for you.

We have an “in.” And she’s giving us the deets on everyone’s favorite platform, LinkedIn. Unlike other platforms, LinkedIn is all about businesses, professionals, and industry information. So when all of these things come together, there’s so much to talk about. Alex Rynne, Senior Content Marketing Manager at LinkedIn, has seen it all in her 10+ years at the company. From profile faux pas to scaling B2B brands, she’s seen it ebb and flow. What are the mistakes that brands are making? Why should (or shouldn’t) a brand have a page?

Now that events are back in-person, are you going to them? This episode’s guest, Aya Robinson of Opry Entertainment Group, shares why going to events in your community is more than just about showing up. It’s a way to interact with and learn from the people near you. For example, when Aya moved to Nashville, she was able to attend events with associations like the local American Marketing Association chapter. It’s a great way to meet new people if you’re new to the job or the area in general. Plus, outreach is a huge part of growing local organizations. If you’re in charge of your organization or club, how do you expand? Who should you contact? The answer is usually the marketing teams at related companies.

It’s the fastest, cheapest way, especially for Peter Thomas Roth’s products. Also, let’s talk about TikTok shop.

Do you really have to love what you do, so it won’t feel like working? Are you overthinking everything in your life? Does anyone actually care about the Oscars or are we all just pretending to care? This week, Jay and Daniel discuss ridiculous (and even downright stupid) sayings about life and work—and how living your life by them may actually be unreasonable. Loving your job 100% of the time actually leads to negativity. Overthinking things isn’t necessarily bad or good. Not everything is meant to be scaled.

Take a look at your tech stack. It needs some cleaning, right? Spring is weeks away, but Daniel’s already thinking about spring cleaning: decluttering your tech stack should be at the top of your list. It cuts dead weight, makes things more efficient, and saves money in general. What are you using? What are you NOT using? Take some inventory of what’s going on and what you can consolidate. Plus, many teams are running multiple automation tools when you really only need one. Which one should you ditch? And, your tech stack shouldn’t just work for TODAY. Think about the future. When you scale, will your stack follow? Or will you need to move to something else? What your team says about the tools also has a ton of weight on these decisions.

The secret ingredient to success in the food industry isn’t a secret... it actually lies with your customers. In this episode, Daniel chats with Jessica Serrano, the mastermind behind the New York chain of locally farmed and fresh, fast-casual restaurants. From using in-season ingredients to making items from scratch, it’s proved to be a hit.

Don’t believe everything you hear: YouTube (especially with its Shorts feature) isn’t dead or going downhill anytime soon. Just ask this week’s guest, Avi Shenkar. YouTube is a great platform for a mix of news and behind the scenes content. From product reviews to education, the creative opportunities are endless. What’s the REAL best cheesesteak in Philly? Avi tells us how he learned from a video that it’s not Pat’s or Geno’s. (And without viewing that video, he wouldn’t have had the best cheesesteak ever.) Plus, you can reformat your textual content, like articles, into videos. Everything is a remix, and that’s a way to grow your content library, share your thoughts, and circle back. However, there’s a balance between quality viewers and people who’ll view your content briefly. How do you get them to stick around? And, brands are making a huge mistake on YouTube—find out what Avi has to say about it. If you’re on the fence about scaling your brand on YouTube or exploring video options for your brand, this is the episode for YOU.

You’re not going to click with every client. So, what’s the right way to break up with them? Daniel and Jay share their experiences with parting ways with clients—sometimes, they ask for too much or the vision just isn’t there. Maybe communication is lacking. Any way you put it, it’s time to say goodbye when value isn’t on the same page.

Who gets final say in contractual obligations?

Lots of things in marketing are changing every day because of AI—especially SEO. Some people thought AI would kill SEO, but the truth is that SEO isn’t going anywhere. We just have to learn how to partner with AI to get the job done. As long as there are search engines, there’ll be SEO, so we gotta make sure we roll with the punches. What’s the difference between using AI and using a search engine to find information? The key is keywords: while people are searching via AI in an experimental way, SEO thrives off of keywords. You gotta make sure you’re optimizing for that to drive traffic. Should you ask AI for sources? And if you do, will it provide credible ones? Plus, we’re in the age of chatbots and relevancy.

Let’s be real: your designers are NOT mind readers. So, if you want designs that look good AND convert, you need a solid playbook. What’s your goal? What’s the project about? What do you want it to look like? Who even ARE you? These are the questions your brief has to answer, plus more about your intended audience and where you’ll be placing things. And, you need to define success. Throw those vanity metrics out the window—be upfront about what you really want to accomplish. Plus, you have to be realistic about timing.

Podcasting is IN. Are Daniel and Jay a bit biased by that? Yes. But it’s a great way to network with people in your field, pick your brain (or theirs), and learn new things you’ve never even thought about.

What do customer acquisition and funnel hacking have in common? You gotta have the latter to do the former—and Joey Steger’s got the guide to do it this year. We’re talking ad spend up and down the funnel. Ideally, you want to spend a lot at the top, but you should also think about how much you’re spending in the middle and at the bottom.

This week’s guest is Matt McGarry, the Newsletter Guy, whose mission is to bring these ideas to life. You need a value prop and template before you start. How long should it be?
