Andy Didorosi — Marketing Stunts, Unconventional Campaigns, and Fighting Complexity
06/01/21 • 75 min
On the show today is Andy Didorosi. Andy was the Head of Marketing at Basecamp and the founder of The Detroit Bus Company.
I wanted to bring him on because Andy is behind the Hey Email Research Lab which produced the famous Email Dumpster Fire marketing stunt, he has a long history of entrepreneurship and creative projects, and has strong opinions about what it takes to stand out today.
You'll hear about how they drove millions of impressions by literally setting emails on fire in a dumpster, how to think outside the box and do unconventional marketing campaigns, and how to fight complexity when it's so easy to keep tacking on more and more projects.

Sponsored by SavvyCal — SavvyCal is a new scheduling tool that removes the awkward scheduling dance of finding a time to meet. Looking back at the times when we used to exchange 10 emails to find a time to meet feels like the dark ages. But we still have a long way to go. Most of the other scheduling tools of today put the burden on the recipient, which can be even more inconvenient than trading emails in the first place. Using a scheduling tool should be just as easy for the recipient as it is for the sender. That's SavvyCal. Create a free account at savvycal.com/eim and also get your first month of a paid account free by using the code EIM.
🙌 Thank Andy for coming on the show with a quick tweet
