In This Episode:
Should You Gate Your Content?
To gate, or not to gate? Randy and Anna discuss when it’s appropriate to gate content, and what kind of content warrants a gate.
“You can’t ask for someone’s email address if the content you’re going to provide isn’t worth it to them.” — @annabananahrach
Is There Real Value in Instagram Influencers?
When it comes to influencers, Anna thinks that as long as promotion is done in genuine and authentic ways, Instagram influencers are indeed valuable; however, Randy questions whether influencer marketing will provide value over time.
“A TV show teaches us storytelling, it teaches us story arc, you know, there's value in my mind in learning to tell stories versus sitting there and watching [someone] unpack something.”
How Do You Approach Marketing to Millennials?
There are a ton of stereotypes surrounding marketing to millennials—but what’s really important to them? Randy points out that millennials have grown up in a different time with easy access to solutions like Netflix and Spotify, making personalization an expectation for them.
“When we market to millennials, we have to think about what type of experience they expect.” — @randyfrisch
