Grounded Content - content strategy, marketing, and content creation

Marion Abrams

1 Creator

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.

Viral TikToks, Reels and Tweets with guest Jon Oustaev

Grounded Content - content strategy, marketing, and content creation

05/13/22 • 33 min

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:

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.

The Perfect Pitch: How to Get the Attention You Deserve with Cristina Marcello

Grounded Content - content strategy, marketing, and content creation

10/25/22 • 30 min

A producer, podcaster, and PR expert Cristina Mercello has worked in radio and podcasting, and is currently a booking manager for Podchaser's Connect program. Christina is passionate about helping content creators get attention for their work.

We are always looking for ways to get attention for our content, products or campaigns. One way to do that is through a well-executed PR campaign. A big part of that is making sure you have a great pitch. I spoke with Cristina Marcello, who is a PR expert, about what makes a good pitch. They said that it's important to make sure that your pitch is not all about you, but is about how you can add value to the person you're pitching to... and their audience.

You need to do your research and figure out what their audience is interested in, and then make a connection between that and what you're offering.

"The more you give to other people, the more you help uplift other people, the more you're attracting good. Let's call it energy." - Cristina Marcello

Here are some of the things we cover:

How to make your pitch more effective by adding value to the person you're pitching to.
The importance of research in determining what an audience is interested in.
The difference between pitching to radio and pitching to podcasts, and how each platform requires a different approach.
