EPS 136 Understanding your audience’s triggers through research (Guest: Marc Binkley)

#136 Marc Binkley is the Vice President Digital & Marketing Strategy at Anstice, a Canadian-based communications firm that uses human science to solve business problems and create meaningful tools for change. This conversation was originally an Instagram Live which is why the conversation sounds a little choppy and we are reading questions from the audience. Marc talks about why pivoting quickly is a defining factor for businesses in determining their success throughout the pandemic and as well continuing to move through it. It’s important to understand your consumers, how they’re interacting and how they’re engaging with your brand. We talk about emerging trends including long form content including blogs, podcasts, longer video, etc. Marc shares his opinion on budget mix. As we evolve our marketing strategies and look out to the rest of 2021, how should a brand be dividing their budget? Marc recommends looking at your goals quarterly or yearly and work backwards with the budget you’re working with. When deciding what the right media mix is for your business. https://anstice.ca/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcbinkley/
