Music Matters! We NEED You! This is Official Playlist for GURU Conference! Please add to this playlist right now (so we know what to play next week). What is the best 80s song ever? We want all the cheeeeeese…”Jay, you are unprofessional” – said lots of people Here is where to add - https://lnkd.in/etV9P_W6 Feedback from having a playlist at our marketing events: Can we turn off the nonsense and get back to business, please? I’m here for professional insights, not entertainment. This is a business event, not a club. You should be embarrassed. The more the world gets generic from AI and the constant sharing of sameness the more we need to be human! How do you find your ‘community’? By doing things that are different and then seeing who wants to hangout. I will get blocked by plenty of people for this post and that is GOOD! Those are not people I want to hangout with… so smell you later! Now back to the best 80s song – obviously it is Brass Monkey BTW this is not the same playlist we shared a few weeks back. We had to do a redo...so please follow this one. thanks! #guruconference #inbound24 #eventmarketing

As a Marketing Generalist in today’s rapid-fire business climate, I wear a lot of hats during the day, and sometimes even at the same time. From strategizing and writing to designing and delivering, it can be challenging to manage a full workload and stay on top of the latest developments and trends. Fortunately, there’s a community of marketing whizzes who are generous enough to bestow their know-how and experience so that I can learn from the best from the convenience of my desktop – while multi-tasking to keep up with my inbox and working through my sophisticated project management system (aka, a pile of post-it notes).   Most recently, I gleaned knowledge-drops at two fantastic virtual events: #Delivered2024 from GURU Media Hub and the Marketingland Festival from #TheMarketingMillennials. There was a wealth of great content from powerhouses Barbara Corcoran, Nancy Harhut, Jay Schwedelson, Daniel Murray and Ari Murray, Melanie De Caprio, and Mike Gunderson – to name just a few. Amid DJ sets and fun networking sessions, I absorbed informative conversations on topics such as formats that deliver a response, the future of direct mail, how to market hard products, and the state of messaging, had some fun with marketing memes, and basked in an unfiltered podcast with Ann Handley. And the fun isn’t over, as I gear up for next week’s #GURUConference and 80's celebration (because 𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘴 𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘞𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘍𝘶𝘯!) – which has been reserved on my calendar since GURU 2023 ended. I hope to see you there!

Over 20,000 marketers read my newsletter every week. This is what I’ve learned after two years of weekly publishing 🧠 [ad] I started the Round Up in September 2022. Tired of being reminded of how social media is rented territory - that could disappear at any moment. Bans, account deactivations, platforms going south, the list goes on. I don’t know about you, but I want a brand built on a secure foundation, hey? So, I took to email marketing and started sharing my weekly rambles - wrapping up the latest social media news, my thoughts and Pretty Little Marketer updates. 96 newsletter instalments later - I’ve learned a thing or two about this email marketing thing. Here’s what you need to know: 👋 An exclusive purpose. What can your readers get that you don’t already provide elsewhere? Why should they commit to sharing their inbox with you? What’s different from what’s shared in your content? 💌 Value their time. Know why they sign up, lock in your USP and provide the goods. Set a standard and keep it. 📸 It doesn’t have to be the best, it just has to be different. Hundreds of newsletters can wrap up the weekly marketing news, why’s mine different? How can I write in a different tone? What do people love about my brand, how can I incorporate that there? Can I spin a unique angle? 👇 But enough about me, looking for more email marketing insights and want to learn from ACTUAL pros? GURU Conference, the world’s largest virtual EMAIL MARKETING conference, is the event for you. Tune in from anywhere in the world, learn from the likes of Amy Porterfield, Sarah-Jessica Parker, Alex Lieberman and more, customise your learning by picking your stream [with insights on email deliverability, data and metrics, copy and design trends, platform tools, and AI] and walk away with actionable takeaways to improve your email marketing… For a grand total of £0?!
