Monday, July 15, 2024 • Duration 01:16:36
Marketing Distilled sits down and interviews marketing consultant and author Aaron Templer.
Aaron Templer
Aaron Templer is an unapologetic eclectic. By day he is a 20+ year senior marketing professional. Aaron founded and owns Three Over Four, a full service, boutique marketing firm that works with people and organizations that have values at their center.
His first book, Leading in a Social World, is available now. You can learn more about the book and order it at www.leadinginasocialworld.com

Aaron also likes to spread ideas as a keynote speaker, sitting on and facilitating panels and workshops, and by way of an occasional adjunct faculty gig on the topics of the social web, branding, the creative mind, and marketing communications.
Aaron spoke at a recent Cincinnati AMA Ignite event where he didn't pull any punches about the dangers and ethical concerns on Artificial Intelligence at this years conference talking about AI.
Marketing and the Ethics of AI
Marketers have AI all wrong. While unions strike and artists file lawsuits over AI job- and value-displacement, marketers wring our hands about so-called AI threatening marketing jobs and making our marketing departments obsolete while we … wait for it … use AI to do marketing.
Operating under this strange dichotomy, marketers have fallen hard for unprecedented hype and are rushing to be the first to master AI tech, hell-bent on self-fulfilling a fate of our own making — all for a tool that, as one scientist puts it, is nothing more than algorithms that are “haphazardly stitching together sequences of linguistic forms … according to probabilistic information.” Or as a user on Mastodon put it, “mansplaining as a service: superficially plausible but totally fabricated nonsense presented with unflagging confidence.”
Implausibly, we’ve decided to pay a steep ethical price for participating in this illusion:
• We're now just stealing content (content that we’ve created for our brands and clients, astonishingly).
• We're publishing content from and giving juice to a biased system that causes real harm to many groups, a system that one scholar calls “the civil rights issue of our time.”
• We're choosing not to accept the significant environmental impact of our actions during a climate and humanitarian crisis.

How to Create a Killer Marketing Strategy
Monday, May 6, 2024 • Duration 27:17
Introduction
If you're in business you know you need to market what you do or what you sell. Without sales of your product you won't make money or last long in your business. If you don't provide your services to clients or customers they won't experience the benefit that you provide. Most businesses are in the business of selling their products at a profit, or providing their services so that more people can experience the transformation you provide.
This sounds simple enough, but what I find is that most businesses don't think through how they will market themselves and grow their business. Business owners and managers often focus on the operations, products, or services they provide, but don't go far enough to work on the business's marketing plan. If they do, it's likely that they decide to have a website and a social media presence. That's it.
In this episode though, I'll guide you through a process to create a killer marketing strategy. This strategy can be used for a product or a service. At the end you'll be able to work through these steps for any aspect of your business. Ready to get started? Let's dig in!
How to Create a Killer Marketing Strategy
You begin with your business first, not your customer.
You know what your company's objective is.
You know your customer and how to talk to them.
You know how to execute your plan.
You know how to analyze the results and adjust.

Twitter (X): @MKTGDistilled
LinkedIn: @MKTGDistilled
Have you ever stepped inside a business hoping to buy from them, only to discover you're just another transaction the staff had to deal with? I think we all have had that experience. I experience this nearly every time I go to a big-box store. I'm just a number, a transaction, and worse, a walking dollar sign as I navigate the aisles and shelves. As a consumer I'm sure you'll agree that this type of experience is less than ideal. How can you avoid this cold, soul-less, walking dollar sign approach to your business?
That's the subject of this episode of Marketing Distilled, I'll cover personalization in marketing. I'll talk about what it is, how you can incorporate it into your business, what to avoid, and some examples of how I see companies do this well, and how companies have really messed up in their execution of being more personalized in their marketing.
What is personalization?
How Does Personalization Benefit me and my customers?
How to get started personalizing your marketing
How to Avoid the pitfalls of personalization
Conclusion
To conclude this episode, you've learned about the power of personalization in marketing. You've learned what it is, the benefits you have as a business, and the benefits you give your customers. You have an idea of what you need to do in your business to start if you haven't already. Finally, you have a cautionary tale on the pitfalls of personalization.
