    Episode #58 – Automated Marketing with Mike Yan of ManyChat

    Episode #58 – Automated Marketing with Mike Yan of ManyChat

    Mike Yan is the co-founder and CEO of ManyChat, which is currently helping over 1 million businesses in 190 countries around the world revolutionize how they communicate with their customers. At the core of Manychat is the ability to enable businesses to leverage Messenger by Facebook, Instagram Automation, SMS, and email for marketing, sales, and support.


    There’s a revolution underway that’s reshaping how businesses around the world interact with their customers, and Mike Yan is leading the charge. As the co-founder and CEO of ManyChat, he’s made it his goal to disrupt the $5BN+ email marketing industry by bringing the convenience of messenger apps to business-to-customer communication.

    The story of ManyChat traces its roots back to 2015. Messaging apps were taking off around the world, and Mike was hard at work trying to write a script that could automate marketing messages to Telegram’s 65M users. The idea had potential, but he’d hit a wall — what had appeared to be a simple concept on the surface required a maze of complex code to execute. 

    Mike knew that if you can’t get around a wall, you go over it. So he came up with an even bigger, bolder idea: a visual-based platform that would allow anyone to create dynamic and engaging chat automations, all without needing to be a coding wizard. A few months later, ManyChat was born. 

    Fast forward to today, and ManyChat has exploded into the #1 Chat Marketing platform in the world. The tools Mike first imagined back in 2015 are now employed by nearly two million businesses in 190 countries, driving sales, qualifying leads, and nurturing customer relationships.

Excellent Podcast

I’m new to The Instagram Stories Podcast, having listened to only the recent (and outstanding) Taylor Lorenz interview. I found that Daniel asked many of the same questions that I would have wanted answers to.

Daniel is prepared, thorough and insightful. His style is informative and friendly. If the Lorenz interview is any indication of the level of outstanding audio journalism, this podcast will be at the top of my weekly playlist.

What what ! ,

A good listen

Part of my Amazon Echo morning routine. Although I am not active on social media, if I were to suddenly change my mind and become a super influencer …I am up to date on all the tips and tricks to get started 😜
Definitely a good listen👍🏽

The BEST way to keep up and SUCCEED using social media

THE BEST GO TO PODCAST TO KEEP AN EDGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

Daniel Hill Media is an excellent way to get an edge on social media and use social media as a tool to build your business or brand. I have been one of the top fashion and beauty photographers for over 10 years now working with big brands here in New York. I started as a photographer before social media…. Yes I know this dates me but I didn’t use social media

I have been listening to Daniel Hill’s podcast every morning on my Alexia by adding Daniel Hill Media to my flash briefing on my Alexia. I highly recommend adding this to your flash briefings too. Personally I have found the flash briefing on Alexia to be a great way to stay current by listing to procured content every morning while I am getting ready, a time that would normally be wasted. So I stay up on how to keep an edge on Instagram while getting ready in the morning.

I recently found Daniel’s podcast on Apple and have been blown away at the extra depth that he goes into into a much longer form. The daily flash briefing gives me a few minutes each day which for me is the best way to stay current daily. Finding Daniel Hill’s larger format sessions which build on the flash briefing news is awsome.

I am a fashion/beauty photographer and started back in the day before social media was important and used just word of mouth to stay brooked for over a decade. Daniel Hill Media has helped keep me up to date and keep an edge being ahead of the IG algorithm.

OVERALL THIS IS A DO NOT MISS IF YOU ARE A CREATIVE.

Thanks Daniel Hill for all your hard work.

Cheers,

James
