74 Episodes

33 minutes | 14 days ago
Ep 74 | Whole lot of fun, prizes to be won? Jessica Wicks of Jessica Ross.
We've dubbed this episode a 'Clubhouse Special' as Jess joins us. Since the platform caught everyone's attention recently, Jess has dived in headfirst into the app built a following and worked out all of the pros and cons of it. With recruiters gravitating to Clubhouse, we discuss how marketers can use the platform to drive awareness and ultimately revenue for their recruitment agencies and throw around some ideas as to how it could work and dovetail into marketing plans. We also discuss the safety aspect of the platform and how the 'trolling culture' has already made an appearance with Jessica sharing her first-hand experiences. Cheers Paiger for being there and shouting about us as well. Always appreciated.

Having been on the side of sales and now on the side of marketing, Rich offers the insight into what he is seeing working  and offers some brilliant tips and advice to recruitment marketers as to how to be successful.

Ep 69 | Hint. Start shadowing your consultants. Nellie Perrin from Hinterview.
As we stumble into the final throes of 2020, we are joined by Nellie Perrin from Hinterview. One of the big topics of this year (and always will be) will be about the relationship between sales and marketing. Nellie gives us her tips and experiences as to how she has managed to get it to work across a variety of industries. We talk about balancing reactive marketing with the focus on longer-term objectives and, of course, we talk about video. We're all a bit more confident have been 'forced' to embrace the medium over the course of this year but it's here to stay and it is a key marketing tool for individuals and businesses. Go on, give it a listen. Clink of mulled wine glasses to our friends at Paiger for their support as always.

We finish off chatting around why marketing needs to touch every single bit of the business. Why? Because brand is experience. Enjoy, and we'll speak to you soon.

Should marketing be playing a role in winning retained business? We think so.
