    Mastering Digital Marketing & Social Media with Neal Schaffer

    Here are three things you’ll learn in this episode: Why social media success requires adapting to platform shifts instead of fighting them. Neal explains that every platform eventually changes its algorithm and features, and businesses that cling to the “old way” quickly fall behind. Instead of resisting, he encourages marketers to embrace these shifts—like the rise of short-form video or LinkedIn’s content focus—as opportunities to reach audiences in new ways. How to create content that resonates with audiences while staying true to your brand. From his perspective, it’s not about chasing trends blindly—it’s about understanding what your audience values and then expressing your brand’s expertise in formats people are engaging with. Neal highlights the importance of consistency, authenticity, and offering real value so that your content builds trust over time. Neal’s perspective on AI, the creator economy, and the future of digital marketing. Neal shares that AI won’t replace marketers but will empower them to be more creative and efficient. He also points out that brands need to think more like creators—because consumers today engage more with personalities and authentic storytelling than with polished, corporate messaging. For him, the future of digital marketing is about combining human creativity with smart use of new technologies.

    Building Authentic Connections in Marketing with Priscilla McKinney

    Here are three things you’ll learn in this episode: Why authenticity and human-first strategies are more effective than traditional “spray and pray” marketing. Priscilla explains how mass outreach and generic campaigns often fall flat because they lack connection. She emphasizes that successful marketing isn’t about reaching the most people possible, but about showing up in a way that feels real, personal, and trustworthy. How brands can create meaningful touchpoints that build lasting trust with their audience. Drawing from her own experiences, Priscilla shares how small, intentional actions — from thoughtful follow-ups to genuine conversations — leave a stronger impression than flashy, one-off campaigns. She highlights how building trust requires consistency and care at every interaction. What Priscilla believes is the future of marketing and how you can adapt today. Priscilla looks ahead at where the industry is heading, noting that automation and AI tools will continue to grow, but the brands that thrive will be those that keep humans at the center. She offers advice on how marketers can balance tech with empathy to stay relevant and impactful.

    Respecting the Game of Marketing with Chris Rodriguez

    Here are three things you’ll learn in this episode: Why thinking outside the box with playful exercises can sharpen real-world marketing strategies. Chris joins Shannon in a fun game called Market Me This, where he has to market an absurd product — caffeinated toothpaste. Through this exercise, he shows how even playful challenges help marketers practice quick, creative thinking, and how those same skills apply to real-world campaigns. How patience, process, and integrity create sustainable success for agencies. Chris shares iExcel’s journey as a “middle-class” agency — scrappy but growing. Instead of focusing only on revenue goals, he emphasizes building processes, refining systems, and leading with humility. He explains why respecting the long game, without rushing or caving to outside pressure, leads to sustainable growth. Why sharing knowledge instead of gatekeeping builds stronger relationships and a lasting brand reputation. Chris explains how he openly shares strategies with prospects and peers, even when there’s no guarantee of business. He believes solving puzzles and adding value builds trust, and that no one can truly “steal” your idea because execution is what sets agencies apart.

The unique challenges of corporate marketing vs. agency life—and how to navigate both.
