Content as Duct Tape and more

“My Apple Watch thinks I’ve been exercising because of my heart rate”

^ Exact words said by Christopher Willis (Acrolinx) when he joined us on Cuppa Press. 

Chris and Brett McGrath (the Juice) were the perfect guests to kickstart season 2 of Cuppa Press and you’ll find out why when you see it yourself! 

A lot of tea was spilt (ever used content as duct tape for a bigger marketing problem?) and lots of laughs were shared on this episode. 

We touched upon topics such as:

• role of content in end-to-end customer experiences, 
• explaining commodity content and linguistic analytics engines to five year olds, 
• using your content’s tone of voice to romance audiences into liking your service 
• trading lives with Paul McCartney 

And that’s just scratching the surface!

Tune in to watch us put out fires, breakdown things to a five-year-old, look beyond the obvious and for better or for worse, let curiosity get the best of us. 

Never Have I Ever

This segment is a twist on the popular party game, but hopefully, nobody gets into an existential crisis here. 

In this segment, Chris and Brett were asked a couple of questions. If they’ve done the action in question, you’ll see them a sip out of their mugs. If both of them haven't, you’ll see Akshaya take a sip from hers.

If they did take a sip, the cup accompanying each question in the graphic below will become empty. And if they didn’t, well, it remains as it is.

Curiosity Room 

In the Curiosity Room, we explore questions that are not often explored. And hopefully, here, curiosity doesn't get anyone killed - or worse, expelled.

Topics we explored in this episode:

• Brett’s gripe with content syndication
• Why content is a powerful medium to align marketing and sales teams
• A common myth about content marketing that Chris wholeheartedly disagrees with
• Are marketers settling for hacks and mediocrity over value?

Explain Like I’m Five 

Fans of the Office know how this ends, beautiful you aren’t one of them, this philosophy forces the most complex terms be broken down into simple concepts that can be understood even by a five year old!

Brett and Chris got one marketing term each that they then explain like they would to a five year old.
