Ep 074: Jumpstart Your Organic Content With AI And A Human Touch

by Brad Friedman

Jumpstart Your Organic Content With AI And A Human Touch

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

Join Brad Friedman and Kate Bradley Chernis as they chat about being a female CEO in a male-dominated world. And how to transfer the skills you learned being a line cook and a DJ into running a company that developed a product that helps businesses pump a ton of content out on social media.

Kate Bradley Chernis is the Founder & CEO of Lately – A.I. that learns which words will get you the most engagement and re-purposes video, audio and text into dozens of social posts containing those words.

As a former rock ‘n' roll DJ, Kate served 20 million listeners as Music Director and on-air host at Sirius/XM. She’s also an award-winning radio producer, engineer and voice talent with 25 years of national broadcast communications, brand-building, sales and marketing expertise. What she learned in radio about the neuroscience of music helps fuel Lately's artificial intelligence.

Before founding Lately, Kate also owned a marketing agency that got Walmart a 130% ROI YoY for three years.

In addition, Kate's appeared as a guest speaker on hundreds of sales, marketing and entrepreneurial podcasts and has led presentations for Walmart, Ericsson, SAP, National Disability Institute, IRS, United Way Worldwide, SaaStr, SXSW, Content Marketing Institute, HubSpot, Hootsuite, Harvard University, Columbia University, NYU and others.

In this Episode:

Kate talks about turning listeners into fans and customers into evangelists.
Kate talks about her crazy ideas getting Walmart 130% ROI YoY for three years.
Kate talks about female founders of startups vs. male founders.
Kate talks about dressing up as someone else when she was going to pitches.
Kate also talks about how Lately uses artificial intelligence to learn your brand, or individual voice.

Quotes from this Episode:
“I'm in the business of leveraging the human or turning listeners into fans or customers into evangelists.” – Kate Bradley Chernis
“Male investors will never say no to a female entrepreneur because they don't wanna say no to you specifically. But they'll always take the meeting, especially if you're good looking.” – Kate Bradley Chernis
“I've had one guy literally show me a series of cartoon penises during our meeting.” – Kate Bradley Chernis
“Now I've seen plenty of white guys just walk into a room. They've got no product whatsoever, no revenue, and they're raising $10 million.” – Kate Bradley Chernis
“The more you explain yourself, the less confident you sound.” – Kate Bradley Chernis
