Email marketing isn't dead—it's just been sleeping on the couch while you've been chasing the latest social media trends.

Most small business owners think earning media coverage is about luck or having the right connections. The truth? It's about understanding that journalists are humans with preferences, deadlines, and pet peeves—and treating them accordingly. PR maven Nancy Marshall has spent 35 years building relationships with journalists, from local Maine reporters to Al Roker from the Today Show. Her approach isn't about flashy pitches or aggressive follow-ups. It's about showing up consistently, being genuinely helpful, and remembering that every journalist operates differently. Some prefer a quick text, others want a formal email, and a few still appreciate the old-school coffee meeting. Whether you're a solo entrepreneur or managing marketing for a growing business, Nancy's insights will help you earn the kind of third-party validation that money can't buy—and turn those media mentions into real business growth. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/590 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

If you've ever stared at a Google Analytics dashboard wondering what the heck all those numbers actually mean for your business, you're not alone. Most small business owners are drowning in data but starving for insights. They've got conversion rates of 100% (because they're tracking page views as conversions), bounce rates that mean nothing, and reports they never actually look at. That's exactly why I was excited to sit down with Jeff Sauer, a data-driven marketing expert who's trained over 50,000 digital marketers and delivered keynotes in 20 countries. Jeff recently partnered with analytics guru Chris Mercer to tackle one of the biggest problems in digital marketing: the difference between having data and actually using it to grow your business. In this episode, Jeff breaks down his game-changing measurement marketing framework—a systematic approach that puts strategy before spreadsheets and turns overwhelming data into clear action steps you can implement immediately. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/589 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

While most businesses scramble to cast themselves as the hero swooping in to save the day, conversion optimization expert Brian Massey argues there's real power in embracing your inner villain.

In this conversation, Brian breaks down why being the villain in your customer's journey might be exactly what your marketing needs to cut through the noise, attract your ideal customers, and yes, even make the world a little bit better in the process. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/588 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

For many marketers GA4 isn't exactly the analytics platform we were hoping for when Google forced us to make the switch. But while everyone's been complaining about GA4, some smart marketers have figured out how to actually make it work for them. That's exactly what Dana DiTomaso has done. As a digital analytics expert who teaches at the University of Alberta and has helped over 170,000 learners through her LinkedIn Learning courses, Dana doesn't just accept GA4's quirks—she's mastered them. In this conversation, she's going to show us how to stop obsessing over perfect accuracy (spoiler: it never existed) and start using directional data to make better marketing decisions. Plus, she reveals something fascinating: AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are already sending traffic to your website, and most businesses have no idea it's happening. Dana will show you exactly how to track it. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/587 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?
