Events for Megaphone Marketing are a way to bring together industry leaders, marketers, business owners & influencers to share drinks & canapes and of course… talk marketing!
Our first event was fantastic was an expert panel line up which including Morgan Hipworth from Bistro Morgan, Genevieve Day from Day Management & Jessica Thomas from Health Labs with yours truly (Max Hertan) running the panel.
Some of the key takeaways from our panel were:
- With Influencer outreach, instead of one influencer with 200k followers you may get far better results with 20 x 10k followers.
- Use social blade to track engagement and Instagram analytics .
- Instagram is a favourite channel for Genevieve to focus on
- Great content and a great product beats any trick strategy.
- A favourite strategy to grow Instagram is a competition asking fans to tag 2 friends to enter.
- Always think “How can you make the content more Instagram friendly?”
Jessica Thomas:
- As her company evolves and the target audience switches from consumer to businesses some new strategies are needed – retargeting working really well.
- Base CRM – perfect CRM to monitor leads and sales funnel.
- Brand partnerships has been very important in growing her brand.
- Find opportunities to link a cause to your product- ie. Health Labs helps empower female entrepreneurs
