About this episode
Aggressive, manipulative, disingenuous marketing that prioritizes quick wins and profit over authentic connection and value is OUT.
Cozy, human-centered, ethical, kind marketing is IN!
In this episode, we break down the concept of "bro-marketing" as I help you steer clear of the obvious (and not so obvious) versions I see business owners tempted to try.
Scarcity tactics, pain points, one-size-fits-all solutions and formulas, clickbait, disguises, inflation, and endless pestering... we'll get into it all!
In this episode:
- What is "bro marketing"?
- What are some examples of bro marketing/sheisty marketing?
- What to do instead of sleazy marketing tactics
- Invitation for your own marketing review
- And more!
Resources Mentioned:
- Alice Karolina's episode on She Built This: How We Sell Matters
- Andréa Jones Mindful Marketing Podcast
- Sarah Heeter's Big Brave Business Podcast (Apple link)
