PPC Ponderings Podcast
Kirk Williams
While many PPC Podcasts are in interview format, we'll be taking more of an investigative look at key themes in the world of Digital Advertising in our Core episodes. Episodes will be split into Core episodes with a journalistic approach and production, and Bonus episodes with an interview format of the experts used in each Core episode. Taken from the chapters of Kirk Williams' (PPCKirk) book: Ponderings of a PPC Professional, much has already shifted in the PPC landscape, and we'll interview smart PPCers and dig into themes in a fresh way to give you an insightful and interesting look at the changing world of PPC Marketing.

Building a PPC Community - with Miles McNair, PPC Mastery - S2, E6
PPC Ponderings Podcast
07/14/23 • 56 min
Miles McNair is a PPCer many in Europe and around the world know about, but who is lesser known in the community of US PPCers. We're here to help change that! Miles is one of my favorite PPC people to follow because he has two strengths that he uses well: (1) deep PPC knowledge and experience, (2) incredible content creation skills. Miles came from nowhere and has been working towards establishing a massive PPC online community... much of that around Performance Max. This is a longer episode, as Kirk and Miles chat all things from PS5 games, to PMax strategies, to LinkedIn content sharing.
So sit back, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy our conversation with Miles.

Ep 5 - Privacy, Security, & Digital Ecosystem Confusion
PPC Ponderings Podcast
06/29/22 • 32 min
Let's throw caution to the wind and wade into the giant, legally confusing territory of digital privacy. In this episode, we talk with two privacy experts. While neither is an attorney (they both wanted us to point that out), both have extensive experience pondering the reality of digital privacy, as well as privacy's lesser known but more important sibling, digital security.
We talk data rights, privacy definitions, and why the ecosystem that is the internet has to stop being ignored in this debate as zero-data enthusiasts push for increased legislation. How did Apple's iOS14.5 impact businesses and privacy? We'll hit these questions and more in this important episode.
Episode Interviewees:
- Bethany Singer-Baefsky , Director of Privacy at iRobot
- Simon Poulton, VP of Digital Intelligence at Wpromote

Bonus: The iOS14 Kaboomski, Testing Frameworks, and Inventory Management During a Supply Chain Crisis with Chris Johnson of CTC
PPC Ponderings Podcast
05/09/22 • 57 min
In this episode, we dive deep... and I mean Marianas Trench deep, into the brilliant brain of Chris Johnson (of Common Thread Collective). A common name, for an uncommon guy, Chris showed a mastery on a multitude of Ecommerce topics and we dig into them in this bonus guest episode with him. We discussed iOS14.5 and how brands may have overreacted to reporting issues, thoughts on inventory management during a supply chain crisis, and the importance of recognizing where specific ad channels are in the buyer journey.
As a reminder, Chris was interviewed in our last Core episode on the Supply Chain crisis, so if you haven't caught that one yet, make sure to give it a listen first.

Why Are Google Reps The Way They Are? - with Ben Kruger, Google - S2, E1
PPC Ponderings Podcast
04/05/23 • 45 min
In this first episode of the PPC Ponderings Podcast, Kirk chats with Ben Kruger. Ben is a Googler with an opinion. After connecting on Twitter and LinkedIn for months, Kirk and Ben decided to have *the* conversation about Google's relationship with advertisers, the Google Rep Program, advertiser adoption hesitancy, and more. We think you'll enjoy this one since it's a candid, yet respectful conversation. Look at it as a discussion between two new friends with some major differences, but who are open to learning from each other.
