  • I've seen from personal experience that the right marketing can absolutely transform a business and produce growth that completely changes lives. And agencies are one way to deliver that marketing. But there are also alternatives.

    Today we're going to talk about three main things:

    How to know whether or not you should choose a marketing agency, freelancers or building an in-house team

    If you do choose to go the agency route, how to find the right one

    And, if you find the right one, how to get the most out of them.

    In today’s podcast, I talk about each point in detail, to help you make the right choice for you and your business.

  • In May last year, Google announced the next evolution of its search engine, something called SGE or the Search Generative Experience. This was pitched as something that would transform the way that people use Google, allowing us to have conversations with the search results all powered by generative AI. Well, here we are more than a year later.What happened to SGE? One moment you couldn't move for those letters, but now we rarely hear them. In today's speedy video I give you a run down of what happened to SGE, and what you should be doing about it's successor.
