11/07/23 • 37 min
Buckle up, folks, as this one’s spicy! The team starts by discussing how to build the best possible marketing team, and striking the balance between collegial and competent. Landing pages are dissected to assess whether they’re worth investing in, and they also share how you can use your data to engage an audience and build custom relationships.
Finally, MQLs are put on blast as a broken, redundant metric that often completely fails to serve a company’s objectives. It’s a passionate conversation that you won’t want to miss!

December: The not-Christmas Christmas special
The last podcast of 2023, so it’s only fitting that the team take a look at some of their favourite Christmas adverts of all time. From John Lewis to Aldi, and the iconic Coca-Cola, what is it about Christmas adverts that pull at our heartstrings?
For those who want a more ‘work’ focused discussion, they also talk about increasing engagement on social media, the dubious new ‘B2H’ marketing term, and the increase in ephemeral content and how you can use it to build out your brand personality.
Happy holidays from everyone at Brew Digital and we look forward to speaking with you again in 2024!
