If you run a small agency, I am prepared to bet good money you have heard someone say 'you need to work on the business and not in the business'. Am I right? I am equally confident your next question is, how? With the competing interests of clients, employees and your cash flow, it's not always that easy. But fear not. I've got your back. It is time you looked at the Entrepreneurial Operating System, or EOS for short. EOS is a framework developed to help business owners structure their organisation and management systems to facilitate growth. In this episode of Through the Line, I talk with Tim Watson, a UK based EOS Implementor. Tim is an expert at helping business owners to understand and use the EOS framework, a skill he has learned from applying the principles for businesses of all shapes and sizes. Listen in as Tim introduces the core elements of EOS, such as the Vision Traction Framework and Rocks. If you run a business, this is well worth an hour of your time.

The Importance & Value of Creativity with Neil Quick 35:21

35:21

In the marketing and advertising worlds, we often hear about the importance of creativity. A great deal has been written about how creativity is a big driver of marketing effectiveness, and it’s hard to argue with the data - see Paul Dyson's work evidencing how greta creative delivers a 12x profitability multiplier in advertising effectiveness, or WARC's Effectiness code. So, what does it take to be creatively excellent? How do you get from good to elite in marketing communications. That's where Neil Quick, my colleague at Oystercatchers and guest in this episode of the show, comes in. Neil has been in advertising for 35+ years, working on brands including, Guiness, Harley Davidson, Co-Op, a whole raft of household icons in the P&G House, and many more. In the show, Neil and I explore why brands should invest in creativity and what it takes to excel. If you work in the world of marketing, advertising and communications, you'll probably learn something new and it will give you a taster for working with us as we take our Creative Skills Bootcamp training around the world.…

60% of the World's population is now active on social media. It's probably time we learnt how to sell to them there then. In this latest episode of Through the Line, I'm joined by social selling expert Tim Hughes to explore the new world of sales. No doubt Tim is an expert in this space.

Marketing to the C-Suite with Rin Hamburgh 35:42

2 years ago35:42

A common challenge for B2B marketers is how to reach a C'Suite audience. After all, they're the decision-makers, right? So we really need to get some content in front of the CMO, CFO, CRO, C whatever O, but they are notoriously hard to reach, let alone influence. Thankfully, the team at copywriting agency RH&Co did a little research into the type of content CxOs want to read, which they pulled together into a handy report for B2B marketers. Rin Hamburgh, the agency head, joined me on this episode of Through the Line to take me through the research. One of their key findings was that marketers underestimate the CxO's desire for things to be simple. They want complexity of thinking presented in a way that is simple and engaging, and tied to the bigger picture. They don't want you to sell to them, nor do they have time for waffle. Click below and listen to the show if you want to find out more about engaging the C'Suite with your marketing.…

Measuring Marketing Performance with Gabe Hughes 42:22

Have you ever been asked to justify your marketing spending? How about whether your marketing is actually working? I will be amazed if you haven’t. All marketers need to justify their existence at some point; otherwise, we get labelled with derogatory pap like ‘the colouring in department’. Thank goodness for experts like Gabe Hughes. According to Gabe, we should all be able to assign value to our marketing. To do this, there’s a marketing measurement trifecta that includes digital attribution, econometrics, and incrementality or A/B testing. By using these models, marketers can get to grips with the marketing that works at a brand level and also sales performance, including which channels and campaigns are adding value. Gabe is a true expert on marketing measurement. In the show, we cover everything from data being the new oil to the value of different types of attribution models and the pros and cons of GA4. I promise you there is value in this show if you are new to marketing measurement or just want to enhance your understanding of the options available for measuring marketing performance.…

Social Media Strategy with Claire Hoang 40:44

Remember social media? Despite being out of the limelight, social media is no less important. In fact, as my guest on this show, Claire Hoang, suggests, it's even more important; many of our audiences are now social media natives. They have never known a world without social, so it's no time to lose our heads and focus on another shiny penny. In this episode of Through the Line, Claire takes me through how brands can utilise social media to engage their audiences and build brands. In a wide-ranging conversation, Claire and I look at everything from the importance of native content, supporting organic with paid social, the importance of attention, brand building rather than pushing product in an always-on world, brand safety and even touch on regulating social media. If you're in any way involved in social media strategy, you'll find some value in this episode.…

Neuroscientifically Optimising Websites 31:32

How important is your website? I'm going to hazard a guess that the answer is very. Since the advent of the internet, websites have moved on at quite a pace. Where once we had simple brochure sites, we now have complex sites with lots of content and many opportunities for a browser to convert into a sales funnel. It could be starting a trial for a SaaS product, donating money to a charity or buying a new watch on a DTC-branded e-com site. They generally all have one thing in common: conversion. Want to find out about some fresh ideas for optimising your website using neuroscience? Listen in to the show.…

In the 20+ years I have worked in marketing, there's been one constant: change. The marketing industry is pretty fast-paced, whichever discipline or side of the client-agency world you occupy. This is partly what makes it a great space to build a career. But it can also be a challenge. Not everyone is comfortable with change or able to manage it well. How, then, do you build a resilient marketing team? List to my conversation with Jo Twiselton of Twist Consultants as we explore everything from communication, leadership and the impact of the pandemic to emotional agility and whether or not office-based workers should go back to five days a week in the office.…

How do you put a price on ideas or creativity? It’s a perennial challenge faced by marketing, advertising and PR agency owners.

Alastair is an advocate of agencies charging based on the value they create rather than the time it takes to deliver it.
