Ep 081: We Rely On Demographics and Psychographics. But, Valuegraphics?

by Brad Friedman

We Rely On Demographics and Psychographics. But, Valuegraphics?

The Digital Slice Podcast is brought to you by The Friedman Group, LLC

Join Brad Friedman and David Allison as they chat about Valuegraphics, David's project to map and measure the core human values of everyone on Earth.

David Allison is a consumer behavior expert, an advisor to global brands, and a leading advocate for discarding demographic stereotypes. He founded the Valuegraphics Database to help organizations create exponentially better customer engagement and point the way to a less divided world.

His work makes it possible, for the first time in history, to identify the shared values of any group of people. He shows organizations as wide-ranging as the United Nations, Wall Street hedge funds, and global consumer brands how to harness the enormous passion and power those shared human values will unleash.

In this Episode:

  • David talks about his project to map and measure the core human values of everyone on Earth.
  • David talks about the challenge of brands solely relying on demographics when trying to impact their audience.
  • David talks about the fact that all the data brands collect come from exactly the same place.
  • David talks about the prefrontal cortex in your brain being the CEO of your life.
  • David also talks about the fact that values are driving everything on earth.

Quotes from this Episode:
“So, you know, it's time for demographics and psychographics to move over, make room on the bench, cuz now there's Valuegraphics.” – David Allison
“Millennials like avocado toast. Boomers suck at technology. Women are irrational. Men are, you know, and so on, and so on, and so on.” – David Allison
“You gotta put a fence around 'em because the fact of the matter is that not all products are meant for all demographics.” – David Allison
“We wake up in the morning, the first thing we do, every decision we make all day long as human beings is driven by our values.” – David Allison
“You know, COVID made us sit at home and think about what's important. And now we're reacting to the world in a more obvious way than we ever have before based on our values.” – David Allison
“So there's only 56 values. There's the first thing we found. There's only 56 things that are important enough to enough people that it, that they drive how we live our lives.” – David Allison

Ep 065: Find Your Purpose, Get Happy And Make The World A Better Place

by Brad Friedman

Find Your Purpose, Get Happy And Make The World A Better Place

The Digital Slice Podcast is brought to you by The Friedman Group, LLC

Join Brad Friedman and Courtney Smith Kramer as they chat about finding your purpose and how it relates to our quest for happiness. Success is currently defined in today’s paradigm as an outcome of achievement, status and recognition, which of course, we all deserve. Still, without purpose, we are left with a constant chase for happiness. Courtney believes that if we know what our purpose is, or at least what gives us meaning and what we stand for, then we shift the paradigm to be in a self-induced state of happiness that drives decisions to make achievement, status and recognition flow more freely and with greater joy.

Courtney Smith Kramer is one of the only 3% of female creative directors in the United States and was named a “Top 200 Global Marketing Influencer” and “Top 20 Agency Strategy Global Influencer” by Onalytica, a UK-based Influencer firm.

In her career, she has built campaigns for global brands like Plantronics, Cisco, Pitney Bowes, MasterCard, International Culinary Center, IBM and Netflix DVD.com, to name a few. She also served as Global Head of Marketing for the Co-Active Training Institute in a 4-year tenure. Today, Courtney is helping purpose-driven brands as an outsourced Creative Director and CMO, and inspiring positive change by helping leaders realize their own value and worth in the world.

An accomplished creative strategist, writer and designer, she has earned hundreds of creative awards in her career and was featured in the Print International Design Annual. She has served as a juror for numerous ADDY Awards, W3 Awards, Davey Awards and the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC), and is a former national AAF and World Brand Congress board member.

Courtney has founded two companies with her husband, Bryan Kramer (TED speaker, bestselling author and founder of the H2H Human-to-Human business movement); Silicon Valley marketing consultancy purematter, and H2H Companies, which offers group and private coaching for leaders.

Her first book, “Be Your Creative Sexy Self: Humorous Stories to Help You Live a Happier Life” launched in July 2020 at the #1 spot in Business Humor on Amazon.

Currently, Courtney is working as a fractional and outsourced CMO/Creative Director with purpose-driven companies contributing to solve a greater thing – the environment, self-worth and value, social justice, etc.. But, her true passion is being curious about the things we can’t see but have placed meaning on – spirit, mysteries, universal laws – peppered in with play, adventure and major wanderlust.

In this Episode:

  • Courtney talks about purpose driven companies
  • Courtney talked about defining your purpose.
  • Courtney talked about the importance of know what your guiding light is.
  • Courtney talked about how to build a brand personality.
  • Courtney also talked about creativity needs a container, and why group brainstorming is a terrible idea.

Quotes from this Episode:
“And if things matter, then your actions have to follow that belief or that value or that purpose or whatever you're willing to take a stand for instead of complaining about it, or taking inaction about it.” – Courtney Smith Kramer
“If every single person takes responsibility for doing a part, then that's where we're gonna gain some momentum.” – Courtney Smith Kramer
“It's just brands that know that they wanna go out and do some good. They want to leave the world in a better way than it was today and they're doing their part.” – Courtney Smith Kramer
“So if I can spend my days every day, creating things in the world that are making a difference for purpose driven brands, I'm a happy camper.” – Courtney Smith Kramer
“Creating is a sacred act to me that means it's the connection between spirit and self.” – Courtney Smith Kramer
“The choices that we make that are meaningful to us create our legacy that we leave behind in this world. - Courtney Smith Kramer

[Book Review] X: The Experience When Business Meets Design

Consumers often take for granted their interaction and experiences with the products in their lives. Whether it's sitting in your car and driving it, tasting the food and drink at your favorite restaurant or holding your smartphone in your hands or to your ear, your belongings shape how you live your life. And, whether you realize it or not, you react to them. Many take this for granted because we live our lives in the physical world, experiencing it through your senses and reacting to it with your emotions and thoughts. (more…)

Brands As Robots: The Future Of Tech Personalization

In the future, you will have personal relationships with the brands that surround you. What does that mean exactly? It means the massive shift from outbound marketing to highly personalized inbound marketing will reach its logical conclusion: brands will become personalities (think of the endearing droids in Star Wars), who can consolidate all of the objectives of content marketing into a simple 1:1 interaction between the customer and the brand.
