From Twitter Chat Queen to AI Marketing Pioneer: Maria Elena Duron’s Visibility Playbook
Manage episode 491071569 series 3654798
In this episode of Founders Future, with host Jae Encarnacion, we sit down with Maria Elena Duron, founder of KLI Brand and a pioneer in digital marketing since the early days of Twitter. Maria shares how she grew one of the world's top 3 Twitter chats (BrandChat) into a thriving agency that’s helped over 12,400 small businesses master visibility—not just on Google, but across AI platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity. She reveals why her "bullseye" clients are exhausted entrepreneurs who’ve hit a wall with DIY marketing, and how KLI Brand’s diagnostic approach (combining SEO, AEO, and GEO strategies) gets them measurable results in weeks.
Maria pulls back the curtain on her unconventional growth playbook—prioritizing email marketing and LinkedIn over ads ("Bandwidth is our bottleneck")—while preparing for a major 2025 rebrand to "Smart Brand System." She offers golden insights on AI’s role in marketing ("It’s not a trend, it’s a transition") and why consistency—not silver bullets—wins the visibility game. For founders feeling overwhelmed by digital marketing’s rapid evolution, Maria’s advice is razor-sharp: "Listen to your clients’ exact words, not what you think they need."
