    Transforming Trade Shows into Engaging Brand Experiences w/ Todd Gregory

    In this episode of the podcast, host Jeremy Shere welcomes Todd Gregory, the Regional Director for the Americas at Fifth Ring, a global B2B marketing agency. They discuss strategies for maximizing ROI from trade shows, which are often costly yet crucial for networking and business growth. Todd emphasizes that many B2B companies mistakenly view trade shows as isolated events rather than integral parts of a broader marketing strategy. He critiques the common reliance on foot traffic as a success metric, noting that not all visitors are potential customers. Instead, he advocates for creating memorable experiences that engage attendees, such as immersive booths and interactive displays. Todd shares a successful example where a company created an exclusive, intriguing booth that drew in crowds, leading to significant lead generation. He also highlights the importance of follow-up strategies post-show, including personalized outreach and nurturing leads through multiple touch points. The conversation underscores the need for companies to think creatively about their trade show presence and to integrate their efforts into a cohesive marketing plan that extends beyond the event itself. Todd invites listeners to connect with him for further insights on trade show consulting and marketing strategies. Connect with Todd: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jtoddgregory/ Hosted on Acast.

  7. What you can learn from dog training about training and leading people w/ Joanna Bowzer

    What you can learn from dog training about training and leading people w/ Joanna Bowzer

    If you have a dog, you know that we tend to treat dogs like people. Furry, barking, chewing, slobbering people ... But you know what I mean. We know dogs aren't the same as people, but their behaviors and personalities are so aligned with human behaviors and emotions that we treat them like people. Anyhow, I bring this up because I came across a LinkedIn post the other day about what you can learn from dog training about training and leading people.   The author of that post is my guest today! Joanna Bowzer is director of marketing at ClearVoice, a content production partner for brands of all sizes.

  8. Writing in your boss's voice w/ Oleksii Klochai

    Writing in your boss's voice w/ Oleksii Klochai

    I think most B2B marketers would agree that it's important for a company's leaders to be visible on social media, sharing ideas and stories. But most CEOs and other leaders don't have time to write articles and LinkedIn posts and such, and so the task falls to a copywriter, who does some research and, ideally, interviews the CEO and then tries to write something in their voice. The degree to which this process works to produce content that comes across as authentic and impactful depends on the skill of the writer, of course. But it also depends on the collaboration between the writer and the CEO, specifically the degree to which the writer is able to help the CEO articulate their thoughts and shape them into a coherent piece of content.   To explore the ins and outs of this collaboration, my guest is Oleksii Klochai, founder of Wizard on Demand, a content marketing firm for technical products and services. The B2B Content Show is brought to you by Connversa, helping busy CEOs and business owners create a month’s worth of difference-making video content in 60 minutes. Hosted on Acast.
