Quotes:
“An engaged audience is more likely to buy, spend more, more likely to come back and spend again. The audience that is highly engaged is more likely to recommend you to their friends and colleagues.”
“You don’t engage with people by pushing a message at them. You engage them by getting into some kind of social conversation-interaction with them.”
“Just because we say conversational doesn’t mean to say we stop using some of the techniques that we know work in copywriting and selling.”
“If you talk like that in your advertising, that’s who you are. You can’t pretend to be something different. You are the message.”
Re-quote of the quote “Just Be yourself because everybody else is taken.”
“Don’t try to be someone else. Don’t try to be some kind of clever marketing voice. Be yourself.”
“The more open and natural and transparent you are, the more powerful that connection could be.”
