Can music influence what we buy? To find out, I dove into the psychology of music
In the first episode of my Nudge podcast, I interviewed the fantastic psychologist Dr. Adrian North, who conducted one of the seminal studies on the psychology of music. Back in 1997, the researchers stocked an English supermarket with four types of French and German wines, all similarly matched in cost, dryness, and sweetness. For two weeks, the store speakers either played German oom-pah music or French accordion music. North and his colleagues would switch the music daily and measure the effect on sales. Turns out, 83% of wine buyers bought French wine when the accordion music was playing, while 65% […]

Married at 28, divorcing at 29 — how I learned to own the narrative
At 28, I thought I was building the life I’d always dreamed of. I got engaged, shared it with my audience, and then brought them along on the journey. Over 10 million people watched my “Get Married With Me” video across my platforms. It was one of the most beautiful moments of my life, magnified by the fact that I had built this level of trust and connection with my community. But a year later, I wasn’t preparing for another celebration. I was preparing for a divorce. The person I had married misrepresented who they were on nearly every level. […]
Best practices for answer engine optimization (AEO) marketing teams can’t ignore
A few months back, I was having a bit of a professional identity crisis. And it’s all thanks to answer engine optimization (AEO) and AEO best practices. Before 2024, I spent the better part of a decade focused on topping search engine result pages — and, frankly, I was great at it. I knew the ins and outs of keywords, schema, and even technical SEO aspects like site speed. But with the rise of AI, those skills were slowly becoming less urgent, for lack of a better word. (Cue marketer existential panic.) Search and consumer behavior have changed dramatically. While […]
Machine learning in email marketing: What drives revenue growth (and what doesn’t)
TL;DR: Machine learning in email marketing uses algorithms to personalize content, optimize send times, and predict customer behavior — driving higher engagement and revenue. You can unify your CRM data and automate workflows to use ML for dynamic personalization, send-time optimization, and predictive lead scoring without a data science team. Email marketing has evolved from batch-and-blast campaigns to sophisticated, data-driven experiences. Machine learning algorithms analyze patterns, predict behavior, and personalize email marketing at scale. Not every ML application delivers results, and teams often find it hard to distinguish between hype and impactful use cases. This guide cuts through the noise. You‘ll […]
Loop Marketing strategy: A framework for stellar AI-era growth
Something’s been throwing marketers for a loop lately. (Eye-roll level pun very much intended.) Instead of turning to Google for the answers to all their curiosities and questions, consumers are increasingly watching YouTube reviews, asking ChatGPT for recommendations, scrolling through social feeds, and messaging influencers instead. Meanwhile, AI search engines are serving up “summarized” direct answers to them instead of sending them to your website. What are we to do? A Loop Marketing strategy can help you navigate this new era of AI and audience behavior. This guide will explain Loop Marketing, introduce you to the playbook, and detail how […]
Why brands should stop overlooking their most powerful influencers: customers
Every January, I sit down to write my predictions for the year ahead in social media and consumer behavior. And this year, one trend stood out to me more than anything else: the rise of customers as influencers. In the past 18 months, we’ve seen people boycotting brands, blocking campaigns, and becoming much more marketing literate. We know how influencer deals work, we see the behind-the-scenes, and in many cases we now view influencers as brands themselves. That changes how we trust them, and how we want to engage. It’s made me stop and think: what if customers are the […]

Content marketing vs inbound marketing (& why they both still matter)
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in years as a marketer, it’s that understanding the key distinctions of content marketing versus inbound marketing can transform how you attract and convert customers. The two strategies are like the Baldwin brothers — closely related but dramatically different, so employing the wrong one could mean the difference between a blockbuster and a bust. (I mean, imagine Alec in Biodome; it just wouldn’t work.) Today, content marketing and inbound marketing actually work together, with content serving as the fuel that powers your inbound engine. But knowing exactly how they compare and work with AI will […]
