Kevan Deep
: Kevan’s built the world’s kindest marketing teams at some of the world’s coolest tech companies. From working at big, renowned brands like Vox to taking (now big, now renowned) brands like Buffer and Oyster from zero to one, Kevan shines in the distinctly creative and generative processes involved in nurturing early- and expansion-stage companies into their cranky teenage years—while helping them figure out who they were always meant to be. He’s the boss you’ve always wanted and the creative enabler you deserve.


Shannon Deep
: Not only is Shannon a world-class brand-builder for billion-dollar tech companies, she’s also an artist, writer, and all-around creator who enjoys stretching across virtually any medium. She’s built brand marketing teams. She’s helped make Super Bowl commercials. She co-hosted a songwriting podcast for seven years. And she recently finished her first book (#amquerying). Those who have worked with her at places like Siegel+Gale, Dashlane, and Oyster would do so again in an instant.

Melanie Deziel's Trust-Building Content Strategy Using The "Prove It" Framework09 Jun 202300:30:50

Everybody hates marketers.

Well, not everybody… but if you look at a Gallup survey from 2020, Americans rate advertising practitioners as only slightly more trustworthy than car salespeople!

Ouch, that hurts.

It’s because people believe marketers are willing to bend the truth and manipulate people to buy things they don’t want. Modern buyers are more skeptical of advertisements and marketing messages than ever.

Melanie Deziel, VP of Marketing at The Convoy and Author of Prove it: How Modern Marketers Earn Trust, argues the burden of proof is on marketers:

"If we don't acknowledge the incredible amount of skepticism and doubt that we're up against, then chances are we're not going to be able to overcome it. It's why modern marketers need to act more like lawyers who bring evidence to prove their brand claims."

Today, Melanie shares the 3-part trust-building content strategy. In this Marketing Powerups episode, you’ll learn:

  1. The 5 types of claims that brands make.
  2. The 3 types of evidence provide compelling evidence for those claims.
  3. A brand that’s doing a good job of using evidence to prove their claims.
  4. One career powerup that’s helped Melanie accelerate her career.

Emma Stratton's SMIT Technique To Declutter and Clarify Your Product Messaging (Founder, Punchy.co)19 May 202300:32:40
Ellohay erethay iendsfray!

If you don’t know pig latin, you probably can’t understand that. (Hint: I said, Hello there friends!)


That’s exactly what most people feel when going to a website with wordy, confusing, and buzzword-filled copy.


Tat's what Emma Stratton, founder of Punchy, often sees:

The truth is, especially in tech and in B2B, what I see more often happening is really good products with messaging that actually makes those good products look bad—undifferentiated, complicated, irrelevant. That's what I see happening with their messaging.


It’s why applying the S.M.I.T. concept in your website copy is important. That means putting your Single Most Important Takeaway at the top.


Today, Emma describes how to make your website copy crystal clear using the SMIT concept.


In today’s Marketing Powerups, you’ll learn:
1. Why muddy or wordy messaging can make good products look bad
2. How the SMIT concept can make your messaging crystal clear
3. An example of the SMIT concept in action.
4. A career powerup that’s helped Emma transition from a freelance writer to a positioning and messaging expert.

Sara Pion's Interview Tips for Marketers to Avoid Working in a Toxic Environment21 Apr 202300:44:24

According to an MIT study, a toxic work culture is the number one reason why people say they’ve left their jobs.

Whether it’s a micro-managing boss or an uncooperative team, a toxic work environment can make it dreadful to go to work on Mondays and prevent you from doing your best work.

Marketers have it worst.

Everyone has an opinion on what the marketing team should be doing, which means people could become over-critical and (sometimes) abusive to marketers.

So how do you avoid working in a toxic environment?

One way is to nip it early by asking smart interview questions. Remember—you’re interviewing the company as much as they’re interviewing you.

Enter Sara Pion, Head of Web Experience at Dandy. She has worked as a marketing leader at some of the fastest-growing tech startups, including Dandy, Voiceflow, Alyce, and Drift. Sara has seen way too many marketers get burned by a toxic environment.

Here’s why:

There are a lot of leaders out there who think that they have a concept and a grasp of what marketing is. And then, if a leader comes in and their ideas do not align with their ideas, there's going to be a lot of friction. Ultimately the CEO in that situation usually believes that they are correct. And that's why the average tenure for marketing leaders is under two years.

Today, Sara shares 5 interview questions every marketer should ask to avoid working in a toxic environment.

In this Marketing Powerups episode, you’ll learn:

  1. Red flags to watch out for during the interview process.
  2. Questions to ask interviewers about work culture.
  3. How to get out of a toxic work environment.
  4. One power-up that’s helped accelerate Sara’s career.

Eddie Shleyner's Copywriting Process for VeryGoodCopy (G2, Gong, Animalz)14 Apr 202300:38:45

Creativity—people think it hits you like lightning when a genius idea appears out of thin air.

So, when inspiration doesn’t strike, it can feel frustrating.

But is that really how creativity works?

Eddie Shleyner, Founder of VeryGoodCopy, says NO!

A better word for creativity is connectivity. Because creativity is kind of an empty word. It doesn't tell you anything about the creative process. Connectivity is a better way to think about it because it tells you exactly have to do—to put things together. Anyone can be creative when you can put disparate things together.   

You don’t have to be an Einstein, Van Gogh, or Beethoven to be a creative genius.

There is no such thing as a “creative gene.” Creativity is a muscle that you have to work out.

And today, Eddie shares five tips and exercises to help you work out your creativity muscle and develop marketing ideas that stand out. 

In this Marketing Powerups episode, you’ll learn:

  1. How to come up with better creative ideas on a deadline.
  2. Why being creative does NOT mean being original.
  3. How to connect the dots to create something new.
  4. Why it’s important to work on multiple projects at once.
