  • Challenges and changes affecting marketers across social channels
  • What should brands be thinking about over the next few months?

In this episode…

There’s a demand for content now more than ever before, yet content is more expensive than ever. To help fulfill that need, some brands are turning toward off-brand, third-party content, while others are averse to giving up their brand control. Amidst this debate, Tom Logan shares advice and best practices for using content to grow your brand. 

Tom says that it’s crucial for brands to generate diverse, high-quality content from a variety of sources. But what’s most important is the ability to test and learn. Every single piece of content should be heavily decided on by using data because it’s much more consistent — and successful — than judging by a gut feeling. Data is the key to building an enduring brand. 

In this episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant is joined by Tom Logan, Co-founder and CEO of Cohley, to talk about on-brand and off-brand content generation and marketing. Tom discusses how one type of content can double your sales, why data is vital to your brand’s success, and why you shouldn’t rely on one specific channel. Plus, Tom guides brands through the strategies and changes they should be considering for the future.

  • How to sell your products to optimize brand growth 
  • How to determine if your brand needs a Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) policy
  • Daren’s advice for expanding your sales internationally
  • What to consider when growing your brand

In this episode…

Unauthorized sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon and Walmart compromise a brand’s value and undermine sales. But, with hundreds of resellers and few regulations in place to mitigate these sellers, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain brand control. So, how can you protect your brand? 

One of the most important things to consider when dealing with unauthorized sellers is that online platforms won’t remove them for you. It’s essential to establish a robust legal framework for defining and creating authorized selling channels for your brand. Once you’ve set clear guidelines for authorized selling, you can implement a Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) policy to ensure long run sales and brand protection. 

In this episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant sits down with Daren Garcia, Partner and Brand Protection and eCommerce Attorney at Vorys eControl, to discuss protecting your brand through online sales control. Daren shares how you can regain control over your brand, how to determine if a MAP policy is right for your brand, and some legal tips for handling unauthorized sellers on the marketplace.

Are you an Amazon seller who wants to drive more traffic to build your brand? Scaling your brand is about taking chances and figuring out what works and what doesn’t — so what can you do to optimize and manage your brand?

John Ghiorso says that to overcome the dilemma of a typical four-wall retail strategy, brands need to understand the Amazon environment to be successful. If you have a foundational approach to retail platforms, you can find tremendous opportunities for growth as you move away from traditional methods. But use caution when establishing a marketing strategy. John recommends installing a budget and following how consumers perceive products. 

In this episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant sits down with Founder and CEO at Orca Pacific, a Media.Monks company, to discuss viewing Amazon as an opportunity to optimize your brand. John talks about the shift in brands considering Amazon as a growth platform, why establishing a budget is crucial for tremendous success, and using targeted marketing strategies to upscale products and increase ranking.
