#22 Identifying the Gaps in Your Marketing Efforts with Laurie Kelly

Today I chat with marketing expert Laurie Kelly about creating content that your audience wants to consume and identifying where you may have gaps in your current marketing efforts. Today I chat with Laurie Kelly, a marketing expert with 17-years of experience in the marketing world. Laurie is the chair of the RevGenius marketing channel on Slack. We dive into demand generation, the new trends in marketing and why we shouldn’t get caught up in them. At its core, marketing has always remained the same. You need to identify what types of content your clients want to consume and feed it to them.  Additionally, Laurie says “you don’t want to necessarily feed somebody who is not going to be eating. We want to make sure we are feeding those who are actually hungry and coming to the club.” Everyone in an organization has a role to play in marketing, regardless if it’s in your job title or not. That shift in mindset is essential if you want to create a cohesive approach to marketing and identify where the gaps are. In this episode we discussIdentifying what content clients want to consumeDemand generation vs. lead generation How to see your marketing from your clients' point of viewHow to identify gaps in your marketing efforts Timestamps 1:47 How do you market to marketers?5:15 What do your clients want to eat?
