On this episode of the Rethink Marketing Podcast, Colin Jeffries and Paul Frodge explore the evolution of the Four Ps of marketing—Product, Price, Place, and Promotion—originally established in the 1960s well before the digital age. Isn't it high time we adapt these principles to modern marketing challenges? In this fourth and final episode of a four part series, we move to the next New 4 Ps with 'Platform.' Our platform and technology selection must engage customers where they want to encounter us and provide interactions at their desired pace and frequency. As marketers in 2024, we all must answer this question: with what technology do my customers want to engage with me? It is a complex question, and paramount that we get it right!

Organizations can differentiate themselves through their culture and the intentional hiring of individuals who embody their brand values.

We must understand our customers' specific pain points and how a strong brand promise can differentiate businesses in a competitive market.

On this episode of the Rethink Marketing Podcast, Colin Jeffries and Paul Frodge take a deeper dive into autonomy bias. It starts with a foundation of transparency and progresses into productization to provide customers with a clear menu of services. Successful marketers understand and play into humanity's default of craving control. We want to find the right number of options because the human brain is also easily overwhelmed with too many choices. So how do we strike the right balance between letting customers make their own selections and not overloading their brains?

On this episode of the Rethink Marketing Podcast, Colin Jeffries and Paul Frodge discuss the dangers of projecting personal preferences onto larger groups and the impact it can have on marketing strategies--and performance. How do we recognize actual buyer trends and avoid getting stuck in the echo chamber? As marketers, we need to stay close to customers, use research resources, and engage with other marketing leaders to gain insights into broader trends. As we evaluate our own experiences, how do we keep an open mind that we may not be evolving at the same pace as our ideal customers?

On this episode of the Rethink Marketing Podcast, Colin Jeffries and Paul Frodge recognize that marketing teams often struggle with differentiating themselves from competitors and catching up to the status quo. This conversation explores the challenges of innovation and go-to-market strategy in marketing. It's important to identify what truly sets a business apart and how to build a moat to protect that differentiation.

On this episode of the Rethink Marketing Podcast, Colin Jeffries and Paul Frodge challenge the acronym "Customer Relationship Manager." Does a CRM actually manage relationships? At this point in history, a single genuine relationship is dramatically less valuable than hundreds of pseudo-relationships. Balancing one-to-one and one-to-many interactions is crucial in managing relationships. Sure, CRM tools can be an effective way to automatically remind ourselves to manage relationships at scale, but, ultimately, it is the power of human-to-human connection that wins. How do we use technology to enhance and augment human connections?

On this episode of the Rethink Marketing Podcast, Colin Jeffries and Paul Frodge explore the advantages and disadvantages of niching. There are applications for individuals and businesses as we seek to balance deep expertise and a wide offering. Niche expertise can be valuable in industries that require specific knowledge, such as healthcare or financial services, but a more generalized skillset is organizations that need someone who can see the forest through the trees. Different personality types--and organizational structures--fit niching better than broad knowledge, and vice versa. Join the conversation as we dive in!

On this episode of the Rethink Marketing Podcast, Colin Jeffries and Paul Frodge recap the viral moments and media highlights of the Paris Olympics. We saw speed-to-social come in clutch for many brands as the power of storytelling was on full display. In a world where audiences are segmented and divided every which way, having a few weeks of solidarity and unity as we cheered for favorite competitors was a breath of fresh air. Brands should also be effectively leveraging these sentiments and viral moments to build authentic connections with their target audiences. This conversation explores how--and much more!

Depending on the structure and lifecycle stage of the organization in question, there are countless challenges and consequences to navigate as the marketing department takes on various roles.

On this episode of the Rethink Marketing Podcast, Colin Jeffries and Paul Frodge converse about the prevalence of posting about holidays and observances on social media.

They also highlight brands that are doing a great job on social media and provide recommendations for marketers. The conversation touches on the challenges of pushing boundaries, the importance of taking social media seriously, and the value of authentic and original content.

On this episode of the Rethink Marketing Podcast, Colin Jeffries and Paul Frodge converse about the delicate balance of offboarding customers who are good but not ideal. Rather than grandfathering in customers or simply losing money on servicing legacy accounts, sometimes the best option is to let them find another provider. Each business's target customers will go through lifecycles and maturation phases, meaning it is natural for businesses to phase out customers that fit the old model but not the current ideal profile. Further, knowing numbers like margin and opportunity costs can be key in determining the fit of each customer with our businesses. Sometimes we just have to recognize that it's not them, it's us!

On this episode of the Rethink Marketing Podcast, Colin Jeffries and Paul Frodge are joined by SEO expert Brianca Hadnot to chat through the massive changeup in how people are searching. Hint: they are increasingly starting with video! How should SEOs be thinking about showing up on TikTok and YouTube rather than simply looking at appearing on Google?
