Today's Essential Marketing News & Tips

Today is apparently National Take Your Dog to Work Day, which is wild because for our (remote) team that’s every day 🐶

🌟 Today’s Highlights:

  • Google’s bringing Veo 3 to YouTube Shorts

  • TikTok’s U.S. ban has been extended another 90 days

  • Did you know you can get my own Lead Gen system?

  • 📊 Stat of the Day: 92% of Gen Xers use social media every day and spend, on average, about 1.5 hours scrolling daily. (Source: WaveMaker)

  • 💡 Today’s Insight: Top types of AI-generated content in marketing

🙅🏻‍♀️ "Lead Gen" Doesn't Work Anymore

The average company stays with a lead-gen service for only 2 months. Why? Because every lead-gen service stops at the opt-in. We don’t.

My Team builds & maintains end-to-end lead gen systems:

🎯 Hyper-specific targeting to attract your dream clients

🪣 Qualification filters so your calendar gets full with buyers, not browsers

🌱 Weekly nurture emails to turn cold leads warm, and warm leads into booked calls

The Truth: Only 2% of your market is ready to buy at any given time. You need something in place to nurture all those you leads have ever & will ever generate.

This isn’t theory, it’s a repeatable system that’s currently filling 30+ businesses’ pipelines with leads.

⚡️ Today’s Headlines ⚡️

🎬 Google’s Veo 3 AI video tool will be integrated with YouTube Shorts. The new integration will let brands and creators generate short-form videos from simple text prompts to reshape how content is made.

🙌 Finally, web analytics built for eComm! Heatmap's new tool gives real-time data, behavioral, and attribution insights that actually make an impact. Get set up in just a few minutes, here!

🇺🇸 TikTok’s U.S. ban got another extension. This marks the third time the ban deadline has been extended for another 90 days, meaning the new deadline for a sell-off from its Chinese parent is expected by mid-September.
