Tactical & effective meets grounded & honest in content creation, marketing, and content strategy. Real, practical, no B.S. advice, along with conversation about the lines between persuasion and manipulation in strategic content and marketing. I search out insights, strategies and tactics from the most accomplished thinkers and doers in the field. My name is Marion Abrams. And for my entire 30 plus year career, I've been working behind the scenes telling stories, selling products, promoting people, and communicating ideas. I'm coming out from behind the mixer and getting on the mic to talk about something I'm really passionate about, and I truly believe in. The idea is that you can market, message, tell stories, sell brands, products, people, ideas, nonprofits and events, authentically. That's what I mean by grounded content. I've worked in production in video as a shooter, a writer, a producer, a director, and editor, as a social media manager and consultant. And as a behind the scenes Podcast Producer. I've worked on network shows, documentaries, commercials for clients like Blue Cross, the US Ski Team, the Vermont lottery, National Grid, and Land Rover and seen my work on all the major networks. In 2014, I partnered with Joe De Sena. He's the founder and CEO of Spartan, which is now the world's largest endurance brand. He came to me and said let's do a podcast. Together we designed the concept, strategy, and format for the "Spartan Up podcast." We built it from an audience of zero to more than 40 million downloads and views and over 800 episodes. We've had lots of incredible guests you've heard of, and many you haven't heard of yet. Today, I'm starting my own podcast "Grounded Content", holistic, authentic, grounded, effective content. I interview leaders in the content marketing, marketing, and messaging business, and share my own experiences to help you create content that's effective, grounded, authentic, and purposeful. Whether your goal is to sell a product or to express an idea.

Tom Schwab of Interview Vallet is an expert on what it takes to get valuable bookings on podcasts. In fact interview valet has a success rate of 50% on their podcast guest pitches. We talk about the value of getting on podcasts, of having great conversations, how you should choose podcast guesting opportunities, and how to get ideas to go viral.

He says "The best things in life that I have ever gotten did come through a funnel. I love automation, there's a point for it. But it's got to start with a human conversation. And I think if we look at our most valuable relationships, our most valuable customers, our most valuable partnerships, they all started out with a conversation."

The Value of Live Video with Chris Stone

Grounded Content - content strategy, marketing, and content creation

06/30/22 • 35 min

How do you think about your content?

What comes first, the business, or the creative? For those of us who create content for a living, you can't have one without the other.

You may know Chris Stone through his show with Jim Fuhs called Dealcasters. It's a show for content creators on Amazon live. We talk about all of that, how he and Jim are using Amazon live as a platform for Dealcasters and how they became profitable in about a year.

But we talk even more about the human side. What does it mean to be a content creator? What does it mean to be on a journey of continuous improvement?

One of the things we realized is that creating your own content is like the best sports video analysis. It's a fast track to self development, if you let it be.

"if you want to get better, you got you've got to do it. You've just got to do it. You've got to watch yourself. You've got to listen to yourself. And don't beat yourself up for it."

The Formula for Shareable Content with Michael Roderick

Grounded Content - content strategy, marketing, and content creation

03/12/21 • 43 min

How do you create content that others will share? What if they would share the content without even being asked? Michael Roderick has discovered a framework that you can use - whether you want to be talked about (in a good way) when you leave the room, get people to share your podcast, or need to accelerate the spread of your message. Of course, as always, it's within the context of grounded, genuine conversations and we touch on the big picture philosophy and ethics behind the tactics.

Viral TikToks, Reels and Tweets with guest Jon Oustaev

Grounded Content - content strategy, marketing, and content creation

05/13/22 • 33 min

5.0

Do you wonder how to future-proof your content? Should you be riding the waves or planting your feet firmly and staying grounded? The answer is both. Stay curious and grounded. Stay on top of the information about new platforms, new trends, and new technology, but grounded in your essential self, your essential message your essential brand.

Jon Oustaev shares his insights about

Finding success on Instagram Reels
Growing on tick tock
Why the first three seconds matter and what to do with them
The four E's, what they are, and why they matter.

We also talk about a post that went viral. It was based on a fake Elon Musk tweet meme. A post I made about that viral tweet on LinkedIn the other day spurred some really interesting conversation that got me thinking about where the lines are between fake tweets, jokes, memes, misinformation, and fake news. It's something important to think about and to be talking about. Here are the links if you want to chime in or just read along:
