    AI Tips, Tricks, and Tactics | Bathroom Break #61 🚽
    Jun 23 2025
    It’s no secret that AI is super helpful. But how do Daniel and Jay use it? It’s more than just about asking ChatGPT questions or telling it to summarize blocks of text. In Daniel’s case, he uses it to repurpose podcast transcripts into multiple forms of content. (Work smarter, not harder, besties.) It’s a great way to experiment with different formats and tones depending on who your audience is. Jay mentions you can even use it to optimize your website. What’s the difference between engine optimization and SEO? How do you get your website to pop up the way you want it to? He breaks it down…and even says it’s the #1 thing to focus on. Plus, what do they think of Love Island’s format? Like AI, it can be A LOT. This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about using AI to your advantage. 🚽 Follow Jay: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/schwedelson/ Podcast: Do This, Not That Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

    Attribution is a Lie | Bathroom Break #60 🚽
    Jun 16 2025
    Attribution is broken, and Jay and Daniel are here to call it out. This episode dives into why marketers rely too much on dashboards, how long buying cycles mess with data, and why the last-click model is misleading at best. Daniel shares how adding a simple “Where did you hear about us?” question changed everything. Jay explains why the best companies sit in on sales calls and focus on actual revenue, not spreadsheet battles. And, they both agree: marketing attribution isn’t a math problem. It’s an alignment problem. This Bathroom Break is a spicy take on a not-so-sexy topic. Get ready to rethink your whole reporting setup.

  • Go-to-Market Plays #10: The Psychology of Pricing

    Go-to-Market Plays #10: The Psychology of Pricing
    Jun 11 2025
    That “middle” option on a pricing page? It’s not there by accident. It’s there to mess with your brain…in the best way possible. This episode’s guest, Tamara Grominsky, is back to break down one of the sneakiest (and most effective) psychological tools in marketing: price anchoring. From B2B SaaS to steakhouse menus, she shows how marketers use decoy pricing to nudge people toward the offer they actually want you to buy. And, we dig into the difference between setting a price and positioning it, because pricing is more than just a revenue lever. It’s a storytelling tool. Plus, we explore ways you can apply this today by adding decoy tiers, using visual hierarchy, and writing copy that reframes value without touching the numbers. If you’re a marketer who wants to sell more without changing your product, just how it’s perceived, this one’s a masterclass. ActiveCampaign turns your ambition into impact by orchestrating your marketing through Active Intelligence and AI agents - powering your imagination with billions of data points, activating fully-realized campaigns and strategies from your ideas, and validating what works - so you can drive real results.

    Test This With Your Content Today | Bathroom Break #59 🚽
    Jun 9 2025
    Ebooks, webinars, white papers…B2B needs more exciting names to use for content. It’s time to test the waters with it. Here’s what Daniel and Jay suggest. Daniel points out that even using “festival” for his annual big virtual event is more enticing than just a webinar and it seems to work much better. Jay suggests instead of an eBook, try playbook or guide—he even mentions that from his experience, using “guide” increased his downloads by 30%. And, Daniel shares a hack about writing newsletter headlines. Should you start with headlines before you write the actual content, or vice versa? This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about using less boring terms and getting those downloads and signups UP. 🚽 Follow Jay: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/schwedelson/ Podcast: Do This, Not That Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

    Patagonia isn’t just scaling mountains. They’re scaling through affiliate strategy. This episode’s guest, Cricket Treanor, went from the sales floor to HQ’s affiliate marketing program. At Patagonia, their mission is centered on the environment, and their clientele is adventurous. So, when it comes to partnerships, they’re thinking outside the box: cash back with Rakuten, listicles of the “best jackets”, and speaking out about social issues, to name a few. What should you do as a brand when you don’t lean heavily into loyalty and deals? And, Cricket debunks some misconceptions about the affiliate space. It’s more than just loyalty; it’s really brand awareness. Affiliates aren’t taking sales away from other channels. Where do they fit into the marketing funnel? Plus, Patagonia is more than just selling products, they’re aiming to bring environmental awareness and sustainability efforts to their audience. How does the buy-back program contribute to KPIs? In a world of overconsumption, how do you get customers excited about new products when overconsumption contradicts the brand mission? If you’re a marketer who wants to learn more about how partnerships, affiliate strategy, and digital marketing all play a role in scaling, this is the episode for you.
