Why do Parasocial relationships matter? Parasocial relationships are the one-sided connections we form with media personalities and they've becoming central to how brands engage audiences. A great article with our Brand Integration Lead Michelle Fry (Guest) in B&T today about the Mamamia Out Loud podcast ecosystem and the parasocial relationships that have propelled it's growth in the last ten years. Key things to know: 🔐 Stronger Connections Mean Stronger Brands Our audience view the MMOL hosts as “friends in their ears,” which builds trust and loyalty for the brands they recommend. Research backs this up—over 60% of consumers report higher brand trust when personalities they follow endorse products. ↕️ A Two-Way Street Engagement is core to MMOL. From Facebook groups to DMs, our 'Outlouders' interact every day, and this two-way connection goes beyond listening—it’s about being heard. For brands, this is an opportunity to become part of their lives, not just their feeds. 🌏 The Power of Real World Interactions No topic creates as much discussion (or interstate drama) amongst the Outlouders as the ✨ Mamamia Out Loud Live Tour ✨ From sequinned audience meetups to goodie bags and giveaways, this tour is all about connecting in real life - for the audience and our brand sponsors.

Ever been told to avoid conflict at work? Think again. 💥 Turns out a bit of friction is essential for team success. Yvette Bay and Nicolle Stuart from Mamamia’s People and Culture team saw Amy Gallo talk about Healthy Conflict at SXSW Sydney last week. Here are their top takeaways: 💥 There’s no such thing as a conflict-free team We’ve been conditioned to think that good teams never disagree, but conflict is crucial for growth. What matters is how you handle it. ⚔️ Healthy conflict = better work Avoiding conflict leads to “artificial harmony.” It feels good in the moment, but it kills creativity. Leaders need to create space for disagreement and ensure we critique ideas, not people. 🌳 It’s ok to bail Stuck in a heated discussion? Resist urgency to solve it. Leave the conversation and agree to come back with options. 📸: unrelated but fun photo from SXSW #SXSWsydney #HealthyConflict #PsychologicalSafety #MamamiaAtSXSW #Leadership #sxswonlinkedin #LinkedInLearning #Feedback

This post might get us shadowbanned on LinkedIn but here goes 😬🤷♀️ YouTube is the ultimate social platform for marketing in 2024 📱🤳 …according to Jordan Barclay. Holly Yates from Mamamia Direct and Independent Media Sales Team was on the ground at SXSW Sydney and attended ‘Why YouTube is the Best Social Platform for Marketing’ hosted by Jordan Barclay CEO and founder of Spawnpoint Media. Here are Holly’s key takeaways: 🚀 YouTube dominates streaming While streaming makes up 40% of total TV viewing, YouTube leads the way, even surpassing Netflix. With more people turning to YouTube, it’s clear that this platform is a powerhouse for marketers. 💡 It’s not just about clicks YouTube, like TV, is all about long-term brand building and affinity—not quick conversions. Think big-picture engagement over instant performance metrics. ⏱️ Longer exposure time YouTube keeps users engaged for an average of 2-3 minutes per video, compared to just seconds on other social platforms. This deeper engagement means more time for your message to land with your audience. 🔥 Stay ahead of the trends YouTube allows brands to pivot quickly, start trends, and stay relevant in a way traditional TV can’t match. As the speed of culture accelerates, YouTube is a critical tool for staying on top. This is especially timely for us at Mamamia as we expand into the world of vodcasts. Many of our podcasts are now weekly vodcasts, connecting with a completely new audience.
