Customer Reviews
A marketing podcast that helps you to move the needle in your business
I loved your episode with April Dunford and how she build a 7 figure solo consulting business. I loved how she decided that after working with folks on positioning, she doesn’t believe that a consultant can come in and do your positioning for you. It was great hearing how she operates with a methodology, challenging people on the team & coming up with resolutions. - Erin Curran
One of the best interviewers around
Bonjour bonjour! Everyone Hates Marketers is one of the only pure marketing podcasts I listen to, then re-listen to. Louis brings on brilliant guests — and he does his research. Not only that, he’s an incredibly challenging interviewer. In a world where too many podcast hosts blow smoke up their guests butts and let them get away with vague statements, Louis stands out (his entire raison d’être) by digging deep, pushing back against his guests where he thinks they can go deeper or be clearer, or where he flat-out disagrees. This podcast is entertaining and I learn a bunch of stuff every time I listen.
The only marketing podcast I re-listen to
These episodes are so good that I find myself coming back to them over and over again. I learn new stuff every time. So much wisdom and absolutely no fluff.
