In this episode…

Who is Jennifer Sutton and whom does she serve? (1:05).
Branding defines the "what" and "why" of a company. Marketing determines "how" the message is conveyed. Advertising focuses on "where" the brand is promoted. Each requires intentional effort and investment. (1:34)
How does setting clear objectives for a marketing campaign impact the messaging and the actions you want people to take? (8:27)

Major phases of a marketing funnel and why has the concept been misunderstood? (12:46)

People often think about targeted ads on platforms like Facebook and YouTube, but what about local sponsorships? (19:12)

Broader reach with short bursts of advertising has a lower cost per thousand but offers less targeting. More expensive advertising targets likely customers, resulting in a higher cost per thousand. (23:59)

When planning media, consider long-term tactics like billboards, which stay up for years and build awareness over time. However, moving audiences from awareness to consideration and preference requires varied strategies.(24:01)

How often must people see an ad to register? Pre-pandemic, it was 7-12 times; post-pandemic, it rose to 20-30 times. Today, a compelling message, integrated with the medium, can achieve results with fewer exposures. (29:52)
