Our favorite marketing trends expert (and GC member!) Mary Charleson is joining us again to help us create more success in 2022
The pandemic caused considerable shifts in consumer behavior. Over the last 18 months these changes have presented both challenge and opportunity for business. While we’ve yet to see what will remain permanent in a post pandemic era, there are certainly hints of what to expect based on extracting insight from macro trends already emerging.
This presentation will look at five key consumer post pandemic trends and how they are apt to impact business longer term. We’ll consider challenges and opportunities associated with each, so you can leverage the insight for your marketing. We’ll also look at the changing landscape of social media amidst these shifts, and consider two big trends there, likely to have the most impact on your social media marketing over the next several years.
Buckle up, it’s going to be an informative and fun ride!
Collaboration unlocks new opportunities for businesses that could otherwise not be achieved on your own. When businesses come together, they are able to achieve goals that might have previously seemed impossible to achieve. For collaborations to be successful, like any relationship, there needs to be rules that guide these partnerships and how the parties involved in the collaboration relate to one another. Some of the things to take into account for successful collaborations are:
Friday’s joint partner event was the place of inspiration, connection and collaboration.
“Collaboration Requires Connection” – Blaney Teal
Starting us off all was Blaney Teal of MBX. Blaney who shared her top 3 steps for making the connections necessary for building our success…
1) Look for people who have values that match yours – successful connections happen with those that see, live and want to give back in similar ways to your own.
2) Go into a connection with an abundance mindset – There is more than enough to go around and the truth is not every potential client is going to be a match. Connecting with people in the same niche creates more opportunities for referrals and the widening of both your networks.
3) Use LinkedIn to make new connections – This is the perfect place to research exactly who people are. It is a great option to find new speakers for your event and widen your network reach.

“The audience doesn’t care if you’re feeling confident or nervous.
They care about getting value from your presentation.” – Suzannah Baum
For many of us the very idea of getting up in front of a room full of people whether that be on a live stage or in a Zoom meeting can be extremely overwhelming. All of a sudden we go from knowledgeable to questioning everything we thought we knew. Asking ourselves questions like; who’s going to listen to us and why should they even bother?
The reality is our audience no matter who they are or where we are presenting to them don’t care if we have it all together inside. They are there to learn and gain valuable knowledge and insight from us as their teacher in that moment.
