Message Points: Being Nice Literally Pays Off

5/9/2022

When was the last time you sent your competition a nice message on social media?

A few days ago? A few weeks ago? Never?

Research shows you might want to consider some nice messages to your competition, and if it's genuine - it could lead to a boost in sales.

When was the last time you shared content from your competition in your content? You may think that's an automatic opportunity killer, but it's not.

Trends in digital marketing are changing, and you have to adapt, but you also have to adjust to the changing world around it. You have to find seams of opportunity to remain relentlessly relevant. Not doing so could lead to irrelevance.

If you host a podcast, do you talk like yourself or like someone else? Hopefully, you don't "talk" like a broadcaster and annoy your listeners.

Learn more about these topics in today's episode of Message Points.

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?

A. 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. His combined experience in content strategy and sales/marketing/customer service alignment plays a significant role in helping his clients.

He's joining us today to discuss what it means to remix content, why multiple departments have to work together and how a comprehensive approach to content can generate new opportunities.

Message Points: SEO and Social Disconnects

Today's episode of Message Points is all about disconnects and how to solve them. For example, there is a disconnect between the common beliefs about SEO and what's happening today. Many brands believe people follow them on social media because of their great content, but that isn't entirely true. Communicating the same way with everyone can cause a disconnect between you and your audience. And asking the wrong interview questions can disengage your podcast audience and your guest.
