  • Positive Thought Leadership about Your Potential

    Positive Thought Leadership about Your Potential
    2024/09/20
    What if the magic behind the Cinderella story isn't a prince and a fairy godmother but rather strategies for tapping into our potential? On this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, the Little Bird Marketing podcast, host and CEO, Priscilla McKinney, talks with guest and published author Joanna Bloor about her book, Tales of Potential: The Cinderella Story You Haven't Heard. Bloor, who examines how things work behind the scenes, discusses her experience of writing a book that presents a different perspective on potential and future. She describes how she overcame initial reluctance to put her ideas on paper, resulting in a work representing her viewpoint and contributing to thought leadership in the field. Bloor and McKinney explore various elements of the Cinderella story that Bloor uses to illustrate her ideas about realizing one's potential. These include Cinderella's interaction with her fairy godmother, which Bloor interprets as a demonstration of holding one's own in front of a powerful figure, and the intentionally left-behind glass slipper, which she views as a marketing technique. Bloor discusses the importance of having a supportive squad and a decision-making "hive-mind," drawing parallels to collaborative efforts in achieving goals. By reframing these familiar story elements, Bloor presents an alternative way to consider personal narratives and potential futures, offering her perspective on what thought leadership entails and outlining marketing strategies for personal branding. "When you're sharing a story about yourself or your ideas," Bloor states, "You're blind to any other version of it." If you still need to grasp the best growth strategy framework to accelerate your career, your best marketing strategies have failed, or you need LinkedIn profile tips to help you get noticed, this is the episode for you! Joanna explains that the initial part of writing your own story, changing the narrative, and having your happy ending has to start with a bit of self-exploration. In fact, she urges everyone to start by finding out how people are describing you in the rooms where you are not present. Listen to her TWO-WORD EXERCISE, which is the best way to unlock your future.

  • Why Have a System for Effective Content Marketing

    Why Have a System for Effective Content Marketing
    2024/09/06
    It’s time to rethink how businesses use marketing. On this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, the Little Bird Marketing podcast, host and CEO, Priscilla McKinney, talks about our proprietary SOAR™ - Strategy, Organization, Accountability, and Repeatability - system, a structured approach to marketing. While many businesses use systems for everyday tasks, like shopping lists and calendars, many abandon this systematic thinking when it comes to marketing. The SOAR™ system, on the other hand, is designed to help businesses create a sustainable lead generation system. It is broken down into three main elements: understand, unlock and unleash. The "understand" phase focuses on laying the groundwork by clarifying who the target audience is, establishing clear goals, and evaluating existing marketing assets. In the "unlock" phase, emphasizes the importance of organizing content into clusters to establish authority on specific topics in search engines. And finally, the "unleash" phase involves implementing paid promotions to amplify organic success and analyzing results to determine what's working and what isn't. Throughout her discussion, McKinney emphasizes that a good marketing plan should help identify which activities to stop rather than simply adding more initiatives, promoting what she calls "radical simplicity" in marketing strategy. "Marketing isn't just about creating pretty graphics or clever taglines,” McKinney explains. “It's about creating a sustainable, measurable system that generates leads and helps your business grow." McKinney then explains how the SOAR™ system can actually be implemented in the workspace, depending on a company's needs and circumstances, such as if a company has or does not have a marketing department. She also shares a success story about implementing the system with thinknow, a multicultural market research firm, where they developed five different ideal client buyers and reorganized their content strategy, leading to tangible results within six months.

  • How to Use AI to Improve Your SEO Content Strategy

    How to Use AI to Improve Your SEO Content Strategy
    2024/09/06
    AI's potential in SEO lies not in replacing human expertise but in enhancing it strategically as part of a comprehensive content marketing strategy. On this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, the Little Bird Marketing podcast, host and CEO, Priscilla McKinney talks with guest and Orbit Media CEO Andy Crestodina, about the role of AI in modern SEO strategies. Crestodina, known for leading with value and always being helpful, brings over two decades of digital content marketing experience to the table. As the co-founder of Orbit Media, a web design company in Chicago, he's been at the forefront of content marketing and SEO trends, making him the perfect guest to shed light on this timely topic. Crestodina delves into AI's strengths and limitations in content creation. He explores the importance of human creativity in crafting compelling content and explains how AI can be leveraged effectively in the content auditing process. Crestodina discusses using AI as a tool to enhance human-created content rather than as a replacement for human expertise, a crucial consideration for any content marketing agency. "AI can offer an interesting perspective," Crestodina notes, "but if you don't give it the right persona first, what it gives you back is very watered down, generic, and undifferentiated. I joke that AI might as well stand for Average Information." They also discuss the future of SEO and content marketing in an AI-driven world. Crestodina offers practical advice on how marketers can adapt their marketing strategy to incorporate AI tools effectively while maintaining the human touch that makes content resonate with audiences. Listeners will gain valuable insights into balancing technological advancements with tried-and-true marketing principles, including how to conduct thorough marketing analysis to inform their AI-enhanced content strategies.

  • Digital Marketing Strategies are Nothing without Great Project Management

    Digital Marketing Strategies are Nothing without Great Project Management
    2024/08/09
    Is project management the secret sauce to organizational triumph? On this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, the Little Bird Marketing podcast, host and CEO, Priscilla McKinney talks with guest and TrueSense Marketing VP, Ann Campea, about the often-overlooked role of project management in business success. Campea, a fellow podcaster and experienced project management professional for companies like Apple, Amazon and Hasbro, has a diverse background that includes launching products, creating retail spaces, implementing data systems, and managing employee onboarding processes. She touches on TrueSense Marketing's unique approach to serving non-profit clients and enhancing their missions through targeted marketing strategies,including content marketing strategy and digital marketing strategy. Campea emphasizes that a project manager's primary responsibility is to pave the way for team success, often going unnoticed when things run smoothly but bearing the brunt of criticism when issues arise. Using a sports analogy, she compares the unsung heroes of business to the unsung heroes of football - the linemen, who are only noticed when a holding penalty is called. "Now, the value realization [that comes] back to your organization,” Campea explains. “Is really understanding the connectivity between what you do on a day-to-day, and how that ladders up the overarching organization's goals." McKinney and Campea also discuss time management strategies for busy professionals, the balance between ambition and realism in the workplace, and the role of AI as a complement to human skills rather than a job threat, exploring some of the best marketing strategies for businesses today, including podcast marketing strategies.

    Market Insights: Driving Global ROI Through DEIU with Dawn Bryan
    2024/08/02
    Can unity be a meaningful and quantifiable statistic in business? On this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, the Little Bird Marketing podcast, host and CEO Priscilla McKinney, talks with guest and Senior VP of Global Practice at The Kaleidoscope Group, Dawn Bryan, about the practice of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Unity (DEIU) in the corporate world. Bryan, a seasoned business and marketing strategy consultant with 30 years of international experience, discusses how these concepts translate into tangible business outcomes, examining the shift from mere tolerance to active unity in cross-cultural teams that actually enables positive change and measurable growth in organizations worldwide. Bryan and McKinney then examine the nuances of cultural anthropology in business settings, discussing how understanding and leveraging diverse perspectives can lead to innovation and improved performance. They address the challenges of implementing DEIU strategies in a globalized business environment and offer advice for leaders seeking to foster unity within their organizations, providing insights for effective marketing strategy, talent development and change management. They discuss the practice of Diversity, Equity and Belonging (DEIB) which is commonly found in this space. They discuss where it misses the mark and why unity is a better goal. "Belonging is a feeling," Bryan explains. "But unity is not a feeling, but rather an action." She knows from experience as she has lead senior leaders through vision and strategy work, management training through people leaders empowerment trainings, and many other programs to help leaders and teams come together across lines of difference. This is the core of the work at The Kaleidoscope Group. The pair also discuss the ideal B2B buyer personas for DEIU initiatives, and how often the positive business impact of solid DEIU work is communicated, exploring the use of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure Return on Investment (ROI) in DEIU efforts. While building an accepting and positive culture has many positive outcomes, they specifically discuss the increased production and buy-in for goals and how this contributes to increased likelihood of accomplishing business goals.
