If you're relying on the same type of content in your marketing strategy, you are likely missing out on several opportunities to connect with your audience. Not everyone likes to read content or watch a video, and consumers create their own buyer's journey. So, what can companies do to remix their content in ways that boost results and beat the competition?

Lee Judge (CMO and Co-Founder of Content Monsta) helps companies create engaging audio and video content that can connect with different audience personas at different points in their buyer journeys.

When consumers don't like something, they rebel against it. When they do, companies have had to change how they communicate with them. Once the internet and social media entered our lives, another rebellion began.

Now, consumers do everything to avoid ads - block, fast forward, mute and pay extra. So, what are companies supposed to now, and why are some not willing to change?

Globally recognized keynote speaker, author and university teacher Mark Schaefer wrote about these questions and challenges in his book Marketing Rebellion: The Most Human Company Wins. On today's show, he'll talk about what it means to be a "human" company that remains relevant in today's radically-changing times.

If simply posting and automating is all you had to do to maximize success in social media, there would be no such thing as social media experts or conferences. This episode of the podcast wouldn't even need to exist.

While social media does take more effort today, most of that effort should be something you want to do anyway - communicate with your audience and build relationships with them. Not to mention, platforms are developing new ways to communicate through audio and video. They've made it easier than it was ten years ago.

Christine Gritmon is a brand consultant, social media trainer, and speaker tasked with developing Social Media Pulse - an extensive online community for social media managers, experts, insiders, and more.

She joins us today to discuss what it means to give more and get more out of social media.
