The Location Station podcast is all about helping small businesses and location-based brand marketers stay ahead of the curve with their marketing.
Launching mid-January 2017
We’re kicking off with ten episodes in January. Here are some of the fantastic guests we have lined up so far:
- Microsoft’s search marketing expert, Purna Virji
- Marketing Artificial Intelligence Institute founder, Paul Roetzer
- Leading Facebook marketing expert, Jon Loomer
- Adam Franklin, social media speaker and author of Web Marketing That Works
- ex-Facebook and Twitter employee/brand storyteller, Nick Bowditch
- And David Jenyns, author of Authority Content
Local Marketing?
If I asked you what ‘local marketing’ means, how would you respond? You might say, ‘Oh, local marketing is for small brick and mortar stores, businesses who just need a basic website and an active Facebook page.’ Well, yes it is for those businesses. But we believe local marketing is so much more. We believe that every business and brand needs to adopt a truly localised, personalised marketing strategy if they want to compete in 2017 and beyond. Look at the raging success of Pokemon Go’s mobile, augmented-reality app experience. You think some local businesses benefited off the back of Pokemon Go’s success? You bet they did. This is just one example of how location technology is influencing our experiences with brands.
Our show is not just another small business marketing podcast. We’re not aiming to give you entry-level, vanilla information that helps you build a ‘solid presence’ online. We’re not interested in helping you simply ‘exist’ in your market or markets. We’re hoping to provide a practical resource that helps you innovate and create systems within your business to produce outstanding marketing. We really want our small business and corporate listeners to be on the cutting edge of location-based marketing technology. We encourage our podcast guests to bring their A grade stuff – not just cliche tips and basic ideas.
The Goal
Our goal for each episode of The Location Station podcast is to create a WIN-WIN-WIN scenario:
- Our listeners WIN by learning how to market their business or brand better
- Our guests WIN by gaining exposure in podcast directories, social and in search engines
- We WIN because we get to make new friends, learn from others’ experiences and have awesome content to share with our audience.
Below is a full summary of our show and episode topics. We hope you listen to a few episodes and share with anybody you feel would benefit from hearing our message.
Cheers!
