How Customer Journey SEO Turns Clicks Into Conversions
Before you decide what to buy, you probably decide where to shop — which means turning to your favorite search engine. With online searches dominating as the starting point of most purchases, customer journey SEO is now mission-critical for every business. I honestly can’t remember the last time I made a purchase without some online research first. Earlier today, I fell down a Google rabbit hole looking for bulk-dried tortellini. Last fall, it was a new MacBook. By the time I was searching for the best deal on a MacBook, I had already done the bulk of my research — […]

Using AI to Get Your Business Branding Right — My Favorite Tips and Tools
I grew up a Nintendo kid (and yes, that includes the original NES console and Duck Hunt Zapper). For those who remember the Nintendo GameCube, you know a memorable brand experience. How could anyone forget this nine-second clip of branding brilliance?

But getting your brand experience right is incredibly hard for any marketing team. Logos, visual identities, copy, websites, social media — “brand” requires […]

Everything You Need to Know About the Principles and Types of Design
A basic grasp of design principles is useful for any marketer — maybe you’re part of a scrappy DIY team and need to do your own design, or maybe you just want a better understanding of what your in-house design team is up to. I’ve worked with many graphic design teams over the years, and in my experience, understanding some of these predefined tenets of design can improve cross-team communication, because you’ll have a better vocabulary to describe the problem(s) that need to be solved. And if you’re using a tool like Canva to tackle marketing design on your own, […]
