10 Best Event Registration Software Tools [+ What Makes Them Great]
I won’t pretend I’m an event marketer. But my mom has been a director of special events for over 20 years (shoutout to her), so I completely understand the importance of good event registration tools. I’ve heard her rattle off the many tasks that need to be completed before, during, and after an event. And she comes from a small team, so it’s very easy for things to feel overwhelming … and quickly. So, I did two things: 1) I sat down with my event pro of a mom to talk about her favorite event registration software, and 2) I […]

What Is D2C Marketing? Here Are 11 Tips I Found For Doing It Right [+ Examples]
When I first heard I had to write about D2C marketing, I did what many professionals do when presented with something they know nothing about — I quietly panicked and then asked ChatGPT. To my surprise, however, I learned D2C marketing isn’t as foreign to me as I thought. And it likely isn’t to you, either. Dollar Shave Club, Blue Apron, and Glossier are all well-known brands built on the business model and considered masterclasses in marketing — let alone D2C marketing. With D2C business sales predicted to reach nearly $230 billion by 2025, here’s what you need to know […]
Personality Content: Strategies for Creating AI-Proof Content
If you rely on SEO and information-based content to grow your audience, it’s time to rethink your approach with personality content. Informational content used to be the go-to method for building brand awareness and driving growth. And it was a pretty simple process: rank for key search terms, attract web traffic, and convert leads. But with AI’s growing capabilities, this category of content has become commoditized — easily generated, widely distributed, and harder to distinguish from the competition. As a result, it’s increasingly difficult for brands to maintain a unique voice and stand out in an oversaturated market. This is […]

6 marketing takeaways from Longlegs’ campaign of terror
Mid-June, 2024. A full page of indecipherable glyphs runs in The Seattle Times, with the only clue a typewritten-style note at the bottom: “Printed at the request of LONGLEGS.” A week later, a user named Mr_Downstairs leaves strings of glyphs in the comments on Letterboxd. Image Source Billboards pop up; a partially obscured face peers down at drivers. In large red type, there’s nothing more than a phone number and a date. 458.666.4355. 7.12. It was all part of an eerily good marketing campaign from indie film distributor Neon, and it racked up a respectable $22 million for Longlegs’ opening […]
Are AI Agents Worth It? HubSpot’s CMO and VP Weigh In
On a recent Marketing Against the Grain podcast episode, HubSpot founder and CTO Dharmesh Shah sat down with hosts Kipp Bodnar and Kieran Flanagan to discuss the rise of AI agents. When I heard the term “AI agents,” I thought of little robots sneaking around like spies, completing tasks for marketers. Obviously, that‘s not completely true (they don’t wear suits), but they are very helpful to marketers and are predicted to greatly improve their efficiency and productivity. AI agents are the latest AI trends to crop in sales and marketing, but are they worth it? Let’s get into some of […]
