7 Deadly Sins of Content Marketing Automation with UberFlip CEO, Yoav Schwartz

Sound is part of a universal language that can convey emotion, communicate information, and help us understand how to navigate our daily lives. It can also be a powerful tool for creating brand recognition. 

Today's guest is Collen Fahey, U.S. Managing Director Sixieme Son, an audio branding agency exclusively dedicated to sound identity, audio branding architecture and in-store sound design. 

Collen explains that audio branding is not about jingles or licensing popular music. It’s the  art of creating a brand¹s distinct audio identity that expresses its personality and values while managing all of the necessary customer touch  points. 

The conversation expanded my view of using audio for branding and I hope it will inspire you as well.

Have you ever used Google Translate to convert website content from one language to another? I have and while Google does an amazing job of attempting translation, I just didn't know enough about the language and cultural differences to know if the translation accurate or unintentionally offensive. Now imagine doing that on a much larger scale in multiple languages across multiple cultures. Things would go bad very quickly.

Well, today's guest is Heidi Lorenzen, Chief Marketing Officer for Cloudwords, a Marketing Globalization Cloud.  It takes all of a business’s marketing material and automatically prepares it for use in any other locality – regardless of language and local customs – and with complete attention to brand guidelines.

During our conversation, Heidi explains how to expand your global reach, avoid costly communication mistakes, and increase the productivity of your marketing team using Cloudword's streamlined team communication dashboard.

Global Content Marketing with Heidi Lorenzen, Chief Marketing Officer for Cloudwords

Your online reputation can make or break your business. Just like profit margins, what people say about your company online is important to its survival. Every day, people go online to write reviews or read reviews on sites like Yelp, Urbanspoon, TripAdvisor and Facebook. Small and medium-sized businesses rely heavily on word of mouth to get new customers or increase sales, so building an online reputation can have BIG consequences. That's why more and more businesses are turning to agencies and third party service providers for reputation management.

Today's guest is Brendan King, CEO of VendAsta, a software development company that helps small businesses monitor, manage and build their online reputations. VendAsta offers their reputation management platform through a white labeled Business Center and APIs, but as Brendan points out in our conversation, reputation management is more than just monitoring what customers are saying about you in reviews, social media or any other online source. It is about managing that information and building your digital presence to strengthen your brand.

Listen in as Brendan explains exactly what online reputation management means and how you can become an active part of the conversation your customers are having about your business.
