Alex Boyd | Decoding Human Behavior for Marketing Success

Season 1 · Episode 177

Thursday, April 17, 2025 • Duration 53:18

"How do you speak to your audience?"

Exploring the intersection of creativity, marketing, and the challenges of authenticity in content creation.

Kerry Guard, host of Tea Time with Tech Marketing Leaders, is joined by Alex Boyd, co-founder of Aware, to discuss the influence of feedback on creative expression, the journey through various career transitions, and the importance of understanding human behaviour in marketing.

They dive into the complexities of engagement on LinkedIn, the impact of algorithm changes on impressions, and the ongoing struggle between performance, authenticity in content creation. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the importance of authenticity in marketing, particularly on platforms like LinkedIn, as well as how they balance between performance and authenticity, emphasizing that while it's essential to engage and entertain an audience, and should not come at the cost of genuine representation.

As well, Alex flips the script and puts Kerry on the hot seat discussing the energy required for effective performance, the necessity of understanding one's subject matter, and the value of sharing knowledge without pretending to know everything.

Ultimately, they highlight the joy of content creation and the importance of being true to oneself while engaging with an audience. And, for Alex, petting his one year old cat.
