Ep. 34: Remixing Marketing Ethics w/ Tarzan Kay

Do you have strong emotions about email marketing? Most of us do, whether positive or negative. Do you sometimes wonder if email is still a fundamental part of the conversation (IT IS)? There has been a strong cultural shift recently in where marketing and ethics intersect. Today I chat about this intersection with Tarzan Kay, a former copywriter-for-hire who specializes in emails that are fun to read, and more addictive than Netflix. Join us as we dig in deep on persuasion as a social justice issue and the ins and outs of fitting marketing into your anti-racist business.

Listen now to hear more about:

• The moment that led Tarzan to look closely at her own business practices
• How marketing can fall into an abuse of power narrative and what that looks like
• Where cults and online business can be similar, why they are not the same, and how to determine the difference
• How cultural appropriation in marketing desensitizes us and creates dangerous patterns
• The importance of acknowledging unique challenges and differences in business instead of making presumptions
• Three things to look at for the future of equitable and effective marketing
• Trudi and Tarzan’s take on how often you should email your marketing list per week

And so much more!
