  How to Audit and Optimize Your Content Marketing with Lee Densmer | Marketing Expedition Podcast

  Oct 1, 202645 min

  Lee Densmer is a content marketing strategist who helps B2B teams fix the costly content breakdowns that stall revenue growth. After analyzing more than two dozen established content programs, she identified 40 recurring issues that consistently sabotage performance—and literally wrote the book on how to solve them. &nbsp; With 20 years of experience in B2B marketing, Lee created an efficient 3x5 content strategy to simplify content marketing, helping busy teams do more with less while finally seeing results. Known for her straight talk and clarity-first approach, she gives marketing leaders the tools to cut through complexity, reduce stress, and build content engines that drive growth. 00:00 - 00:20 "So often when I go into a content program there's a person, a leader often, who wants to do something different every week. They want to experiment, they want to pivot, they want to try something new and that is a terrible idea. You make these decisions once and please stick with it for at least six months so you'll know if it worked or not.” — Lee Densmer 00:21 - 00:39 Welcome to Peppershock Media’s Marketing Expedition Podcast 00:40 - 01:34 Lee’s Background 01:35 - 05:02 Marketing Essentials Moment: AI in Business 05:03 - 06:34 Welcome to the show, Lee 06:35 - 08:07 Memorable Travel Experiences 08:08 - 10:39 Diving into Content Marketing 10:40 - 12:30 The Content Audit Process 12:31 - 14:28 Foundational Decisions for Content Programs 14:29 - 16:03 Balancing Team Capacity with Content Goals 16:14 - 18:38 The Value of Transcription Tools 18:39 - 20:43 Overview of Lee's Book “Content Simplified, The Biggest B2B Content Marketing Mistakes and How to Fix Them” - https://leedensmer.com/book/ 20:44 - 24:30 The Three by Five Framework 24:31 - 26:07 Optimizing for AI and Search Engines 26:08 - 26:44 Poderific, baby!

  Seth Greene, founder and CEO of Market Domination LLC , is widely recognized as one of the nation’s leading authorities on growing businesses through what he calls “50 Dream Affiliates.” His company earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 list in 2023. A serial entrepreneur, Seth has launched four successful businesses and built a reputation for turning strategic partnerships into real, measurable growth. &nbsp; Seth is also the co-host of the *Sharkpreneur* podcast alongside *Shark Tank’s* Kevin Harrington.

I think the really short version of what they are is number one, who's your target market and how laser-focused, micro-niche-specific can you get? Where do they hang out? Where are you going to reach them in an affordable, effective manner? Why should they do business with you as opposed to anyone else? Why are you different? What are you going to do for them? And then how are you going to communicate all of that to the right people in your target market in such a way that gets them to pay attention, raise their hand, say they're interested, and then go through a process so by the time they talk to you, they are pre-qualified, pre-interested, and predisposed to do business with you.” — Seth Greene 00:45 - 01:02 Welcome to Peppershock Media’s Marketing Expedition Podcast 01:03 - 02:05 About Seth 02:06 - 07:42 Marketing Essentials Moment: Building Relationships as Revenue Channels 07:43 - 08:55 Welcome to the show, Seth! 08:56 - 10:34 Success Stories in Marketing 10:35 - 12:04 Common Marketing Mistakes 12:05 - 13:41 Innovative Marketing Techniques 13:42 - 14:43 Ideal Client Profile 14:44 - 15:28 Favorite Marketing Tools 15:29 - 17:05 Recommended Resources and Readings 17:06 - 17:41 Poderific, baby!

Having exited multiple businesses and led multimillion-dollar real estate developments, Adam now enjoys the freedom of building successful ventures while exploring the world’s most inspiring places. 00:00 - 00:46 "Well, when it comes to email, there's no true silver bullet. Everyone's always looking for that one thing that's going to get you this amazing reply rate or meetings book or open rate or this or that. And the reality is it's about doing a bunch of things well that give you a one to three percent lift on each of those things. But at the end of the day, it still comes to what's the offer. Like, you know, the old saying, at least I did some real estate development and specifically land development. And one of the things you'd hear quite a bit is you can put lipstick on a pig, but at the end of the day, it's still a pig. So when it comes to marketing, it's like we can do our best to make any offer sound as good as possible. But at the end of the day, the offer is what the offer is.” — Adam Rosen 00:47 - 01:04 Welcome to Peppershock Media’s Marketing Expedition Podcast 01:05 - 02:08 Adam’s Background 02:09 - 06:06 Marketing Essentials Moment: Cold Email Outreach 06:07 - 08:08 Welcome to the show, Adam! 08:09 - 10:08 Success Stories: Working with Big Brands 10:09 - 14:00 Common Mistakes in Cold Email Outreach 14:01 - 15:55 The Importance of Patience in Marketing 15:56 - 18:12 Lead Generation and Newsletters 18:13 - 23:10 Capturing First-Party Data Effectively 23:11 - 23:48 Poderific, baby!

  Why Zamzows Had to Relearn Marketing for a New Generation with Callie Zamzow | Marketing Expedition Podcast

  Sep 10, 202657 min

  Callie Zamzow is a fourth-generation leader of the Zamzow family of businesses, which includes Zamzows , a 92-year-old chain of garden and pet supply stores, Dynamite Specialty Products, a 44-year-old manufacturing and distribution company, and a diverse portfolio of real estate holdings. Rooted in tradition but driven by creativity, Callie brings curiosity, grit, and a deep appreciation for laughter to her leadership. 00:00 - 00:42 "We think of our customer base, and we sort of segregate them a lot of times in ages, kind of where they are in the spectrum of life, because, you know, we're selling things for primarily homeowners, but we also sell things for people who are in apartments and that sort of thing. We think about who we're actually talking to. And that's become more and more difficult, I think, as the population is aging, and then we're having newcomers coming in, and the way that they are communicated, too, like how you actually reach these different people. And then even the tactic, you know, just a regular old radio ad works really, really well for one type of person. There's a whole genre of people who don't even listen to the radio anymore.” — Callie Zamzow 00:43 - 01:00 Welcome to Peppershock Media’s Marketing Expedition Podcast 01:01 - 01:56 About Callie 01:57 - 15:36 Marketing Essentials Moment: Generational Marketing 15:37 - 16:52 Welcome to the show! 16:53 - 19:39 Family Business Legacy 19:40 - 22:51 Transitioning Leadership in the Zamzow Family 22:52 - 25:45 Marketing Shifts: Adapting to New Generations 25:46 - 28:02 Product Range and Customer Engagement 28:03 - 34:11 Community Engagement and Newcomer Outreach 34:12 - 34:48 Poderific, baby!
