How To Use Humor In Your Marketing To Stand Out And Get More Sales
Download MP3I've just launched a new YouTube channel!! The concept? I take real businesses struggling to stand the f*ck out, provide my positioning/branding/lead gen help, and record it all for YouTube. The first mini-series features three freelance marketers (copywriter Rob, ecommerce designer Laura, and non-fiction book coach Vicky).
I hope you'll set aside half an hour to watch it through. Maybe with your morning coffee? Or lunch break? Or evening onion soup? And then, the usual "Subscribe, Like, Share" would go a long, long way too.
Not everyone is naturally funny, but every business can make an impactful change to their marketing strategy by infusing humor. Allie LeFevere joins the show today to discuss how to create an endearing audience by making them laugh.
Allie is the co-founder of the humor marketing agency, Obedient, and co-host of the podcast, Fangasm. Allie shares her story of how she created Obedient and why companies should consider avoiding a “water-downed” campaign that appeals to the masses and start to create compelling memorable marketing campaigns.
