Are You Focusing Your Marketing Efforts on Efficiency or Effectiveness with Gee Ranasinha
Business Chop
Gee Ranasinha and Audrey Wiggins discussed the relevance of distinguishing between traditional and digital marketing and emphasized the importance of maintaining a professional relationship with clients. They also underscored the need for industry-wide awareness of linguistic and design issues.
The discussion then shifted to the evolving focus of marketing efforts, emphasizing the shift from efficiency to effectiveness. Ranasinha highlighted the challenges of applying logic and process to a discipline like marketing, which is heavily influenced by emotion, context, and behavior. He emphasized the need for comparisons to measure effectiveness and the importance of clarity in measuring marketing tactics. They also stressed the significance of emotional appeal and storytelling in marketing to create a lasting impact on consumers.
They also delved into a discussion about the ethical dilemmas and challenges within the marketing industry. They expressed concern over the abundance of unethical practices and the detrimental effects on small business owners who often fall prey to dishonest marketers. Emphasizing the need for greater industry accountability, they advocated for protecting entrepreneurs from exploitation and stressed the importance of ethical standards in marketing.
Gee Ranasinha is the Founder and CEO of KEXINO, an award-winning marketing agency. Over the past 16 years KEXINO has helped over 400 startups and small businesses in ~20 countries grow awareness, reputation, trust and sales.

Becoming Noticed with Jim James
Business Chop
Based in the UK, Jim James is the Champion of the UnNoticed Entrepreneur. That's because he's been one since 1995 when he set up EASTWEST Public Relations in Singapore. Living in Beijing, China, from 2006 to 2019, he set up a number of other businesses including the import of Morgan Motor company cars, the Beijing chapter of the Entrepreneurs Organization, and played a role as Vice Chairman of the British Chamber of Commerce. Jim also set up the British Business Awards in China in 2008 and played the role of interim CEO of Lotus Cars in China. As a youngster, he lived in Africa and America and studied in America as an undergraduate. As a result Jim has friends and associates around the world, and this is reflected in the guests and listeners of his show, The Unnoticed.
Now he is back in the UK, and in pursuit of the next round of being an entrepreneur. He sold his PR Agency, playing the role of Chairman, and is focused on The UnNoticed Entrepreneur project. The genesis was helping fellow entrepreneurs during COVID, including my sister. Jim is the proud father of two amazing daughters and a handsome beagle called Binkie, who ensures that they go for walks no matter what time he finishes in the studio.

Your Image Matters in Business with Traci McBride
Business Chop
Today on The Business Chop Podcast, Audrey Wiggins will interview Traci McBride.
Traci McBride is the wardrobe stylist of TeeMcBee Image Consulting and is a longtime supporter of nonprofit Dress for Success-Cleveland. She encourages readers to subscribe to her timely e-zine, schedule a style strategy call, or request her to infuse their staff or organization with a passionate, professional punch of style to elevate everyone.
Have you been thinking of making some personal changes or improvements in your life? Why wait until other events happen first?
A typical conversation I have with women is they want to get support with the wardrobe in their closets...b-u-t they were waiting to lose weight, pay off a debt, get their child off to college, find time, save money, make more money, get through the summer busyness, get through the holidays...WOW! A million different reasons for putting off LOOKING and FEELING better!
My experience has always been that we find the time and resources for whatever we really want and feel we deserve, no matter what.
I promise, when you LOOK and FEEL YOUR best and are your most authentic self, you will make more money, lose weight, enjoy the summer busyness and have a more meaningful holiday season.
You will find when your daily routine is streamlined, dressing for your life is effortless, you feel more confident, and self-doubt disappears. What happens then is really transforming: you become more in the moment in your life, rather than worrying about your clothes, and wondering if your shoes were the right choice, or if your suit or dress is appropriate for the event.

Benjamin Friedman, President and Founder of Build, Scale, Grow, (2019) and Audrey Wiggins discussed the importance of open communication in keeping everyone aligned with company goals, with Benjamin stressing the need for founders and leaders to communicate often and set clear expectations to build confidence and trust within the team. Benjamin helps fast-growing startups to scale quickly and smartly by installing the right systems, metrics, and experts.
