Unlocking The Science Of Advertising: Tips For Small Businesses

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

In this episode, Brad Friedman and Skip Wilson talk about the fact there is actually science behind advertising and the many benefits of a fractional CMO.

Skip Wilson's journey in advertising began at the age of 16 as a copywriter. He was trying to impress a girl, so he started looking for writing jobs. Over the years, he ventured into web design and entrepreneurship, ultimately founding his own web design business. His career took an exciting turn when he joined CNN Special Project while in college and worked on the iReport team, honing his prowess in digital media and building new platforms.

Skip's talents and vision led him to Clear Channel Radio, where he played a pivotal role in establishing and expanding the digital division. His dedication and expertise propelled him to the position of Vice President of Digital Media for iHeartMedia where he worked for over a decade.

Eventually, Skip decided to embark on a new venture, creating DRAFT Media Partners, an advertising execution company that now serves over a hundred clients across four locations. As a bestselling author and the host of “The Advertising Podcast,” Skip Wilson continues to make his mark in the advertising world. In 2023 his company won “Most Intuitive Software Developer” at the Innovation in Business MarTech Awards, and this year they won the top spot as “Best Marketing Software Developer” at that same award show.

Marketing and digital advertising professionals looking to get real, predictable results and improve their business operations will benefit from Skip's expertise and practical insights.

In this Episode:

  • Skip talks about the pros and cons of having a fractional CMO.
  • Skip says fractional CMOs make that type of internal help available to more companies.
  • Skip believes one of the benefits of a fractional CMO is that the business owner is getting an unbiased opinion.
  • Skip says there is actually a science of advertising.
  • Skip compares your advertising strategy to dieting and exercise.

Quotes from this Episode:
“Your typical fractional CMO is going to give you the same type of thing as an internal CMO.” – Skip Wilson
“Advertising is getting a specific message to a specific audience to achieve some sort of specific singular result.” – Skip Wilson
“You can just do a quick Google search of what should a click through rate be in your industry? What should a conversion? What should a landing page be converting at?.” – Skip Wilson
“I think the biggest problem when I see business owners doing their own ads, is a reliance on the ad to sell. And no ad could ever sell.” – Skip Wilson
“There's nothing worse than not having solid follow up strategies or not asking for the appointment.” – Skip Wilson

Why Last-Click Attribution Fails In Today’s Multi-Channel World

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

Brad Friedman and Vibhor Kapoor chat about the pitfalls of last-click attribution, and how this leads to botched budget allocations and stagnant growth.

Vibhor Kapoor is the President of AdRoll, a marketing and advertising platform for business-to-consumer brands. Vibhor’s charter at AdRoll includes driving AdRoll's revenue growth and overseeing product, strategy, sales, operations, and marketing.

With almost three decades of industry experience, Vibhor brings business leadership expertise in SaaS and Cloud platforms. Most recently, he was a Senior Director in Adobe’s Digital Media Business, leading marketing and GTM efforts to incubate new categories in experience design and developer platforms. Before joining Adobe, Kapoor was a Vice President of Marketing at Box, leading product marketing, evangelism and demand generation for their API platform. He also spent a decade at Microsoft in leadership roles across marketing and product management and was an early member of the team that built Microsoft’s Azure business. Earlier in his career, Vibhor spent several years at General Electric and Hewlett-Packard in product management, sales and commercial operations.

Vibhor holds an MBA from Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University in Illinois and a Bachelor in Technology from Indian Institute of Technology in Varanasi, India.

In this Episode:

  • Vibhor talks about digital marketing bringing more data into play with marketers.
  • Vibhor says it takes up to 56 touches to get someone to purchase something in the retail space.
  • Vibhor discusses the need for multi-channel marketing and meeting users where they are.
  • Vibhor explains some of the thinking behind the marketing mix.
  • Vibhor also talks about doing great marketing and advertising in a privacy-first manner.

Quotes from this Episode:
“It's really about delivering the right message, to the right person, at the right time.” – Vibhor Kapoor
“You should be spending on brand awareness on an ongoing basis if you want to maintain relevance.” – Vibhor Kapoor
“The right way to do this is for you to look at how much value to attribute for each engagement that you've had in the customer's journey.” – Vibhor Kapoor
“Greater awareness, which means we need to be smarter in terms of preserving the privacy and still being able to serve them relevant content.” – Vibhor Kapoor
“I think if you want to build a sustainable brand that resonates with your customers, you need to think what is called full funnel, which means think about meeting the users where they are in their stage of you know, awareness, research, consideration, and purchase.” – Vibhor Kapoor
