We talk a lot about how to separate your company from the pack and cut through the noise with your marketing. Today, we take it up a notch. We talk to the VP of Creative at one of the most buzz-worthy brands of all time: Liquid Death. With a revenue last year of $263 Million, they received a $1.4 billion valuation due to their counterintuitive marketing strategy. You canât argue with success, so we break down some of Liquid Deathâs branding and marketing techniques. Then, we show you how your carrier can apply them to start killing it at advertising!Powered by CDLLife & HOT SEAT SERVICESGuests:Andy Pearson, VP of Creative, Liquid DeathSponsored by:TAFS, incTenstreet

Is the future of the trucking industry POSITIVE or NEGATIVE? We take a GROUNDED approach and ask drivers, former drivers, a director of recruiting, Tenstreet, and Charles Gracey! No, not the Charles Gracey youâre thinking of.
Paul and Charles also have some slightly heated moments about the FTC rule banning noncompetes and if itâs a good practice or degrading to call your drivers âassets.â
All this and more in the Season 3 premiere of Sense Per Mile!

We talked to Kevin Hall, CEO of CDLLife during S2 E25 ("Reputation (Sense Per Mile's Version)") and he had a lot of insights that we weren't able to discuss in the episode. So we decided to hope back on and pick his brain a little bit more.
-
What is reputation really? Why is it important? How do you build it? If you have a good reputation, how do you maintain it? If you have a bad reputation, how do you fix it? How is it even decided if your trucking companyâs reputation is good or bad? We answer all of your questions in todayâs episode!"

The stereotypes surrounding Gen Zâlazy, entitled, and stuck in their momâs basementâoften overshadow the potential they hold, especially in industries like trucking. As the active driver population ages and efforts to recruit Millennials wane, the spotlight now turns to Gen Z. Is there a way to get them behind the wheel? In this episode, we break down the situation with a marketing agency founder that specifically targets Gen Z for several Fortune 500 clients. We also talk to a recruiting director within the demographic to shed light on what Gen Z truly seeks in an employer and how the trucking industry can adapt.Donât miss our LIVE coverage at MATS!
