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. Maybe with your morning coffee? Or lunch break? Or evening onion soup? And then, the usual "Subscribe, Like, Share" would go a long, long way too.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNXaHHVnVntg5gpveB-5_Q***In this episode we are challenging the current model of online advertising and making a case for the traditional methods advertising.Bob Hoffman is my guest, author of the popular blog The Ad Contrarian and has been named one of the most influential advertising bloggers by Business Insider.He’s been the CEO of two independent agencies and has worked with major brands such as McDonalds, PepsiCo, Bank of America, Toyota, AT&T and many more.Today he will explain why digital marketing is broken, what you need to know as a marketer today and why traditional marketing is not dead yet.Topics covered:Creating demand versus fulfilling demandMeasuring customer cost acquisition on and offlinePitfalls of online advertising tech from ad blockers to ad fraud and data leakageCreating a new model for online advertising and regulatory movements in the EUThe loss of healthy skepticism in digital advertising agenciesEthical consideration when choosing clientsBob’s advice to young marketers and his recommended resourcesResources mentioned:The Ad ContrarianThe Battle Begins (10/17/17) by Bob HoffmanBadMen: How Advertising Went From A Minor Annoyance To A Major Menace by Bob HoffmanMarketers Are From Mars, Consumers Are From New Jersey by Bob Hoffman101 Contrarian Ideas About Advertising by Bob HoffmanDave Trott’s Blog, Doc Searls Weblog, Rory SutherlandBob Hoffman’s Website***→ Buy my book: book.stfo.io→ Watch my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNXaHHVnVntg5gpveB-5_Q→ Take my 60-second quiz: stfo.io/q→ See my pretty face on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/louisgrenier/→ Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3p4wL4r→ Leave a review on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7iEF1qovZZiaP1iRtxGARo🐔
