Q: How did you get your start in the business?


A: I wanted to get paid to write but not be a journalist. That soon led me to eMarketer where I transitioned from an editorial role to PR. The rest is history.


Q: Tell us about what you are doing now?


A: I'm consulting, working mostly with the agency @WITHINco leading their marketing. I also run the 2,500-member Serial Marketers community.


Q: What makes for good advertising?


A: It's created to achieve a specified goal, and it achieves it.


Q: What makes for bad advertising?


A: People on Twitter don't like it. Kidding. Bad advertising is something that delivers no form of value to the advertiser.


Q: What trends in Marketing are you keeping an eye on?


A: The biggest trends that matter will be about post-pandemic shifts in consumer behavior. Almost everything else right now is a sideshow or is heavily impacted by that.


Q: What is the best platform for watching videos? Why?


A: It may not be the best, but I like how Disney+ became comfort food for my family and me. They extended their brand to video so well so quickly.


Q: What is your favorite video series?


A: Cobra Kai. It is the best bad TV perhaps ever. #teamjohnny


Q: How do you stay up to date on what's going on in the industry?


A: My Slack community. Twitter DM groups of some creators I connect with. A few great email newsletters. Some other communities.
