Storylines Live Episode 1 Card

Jason Falls is a leading digital strategist, author, speaker and thinker in the digital and social media marketing industry. He also founded and serves as executive producer of the Marketing Podcast Network. In this episode of Storylines Live, we spoke with Jason about the importance of harnessing your story, influence marketing, and the best ways to drive action from your strategy. 

Key Takeaways

  1. Storytelling is essential for successful marketing because it creates an emotional connection with the audience. 
  2. Strong, long-term relationships are more valuable than short-term successes. 
  3. While traditional influencer marketing focuses on individuals with large followings, “influence marketing” influences audiences to take action, which expands the scope of what can be achieved. 
  4. Brands are now more focused on engaging content and authentic connections, rather than just purchasing followers. 
  5. User-generated content has become a cornerstone of modern marketing; it is more cost-effective and impactful, as it resonates with audiences and can be repurposed across different platforms. 
  6. Personal experiences and memories can influence and enhance one's marketing efforts.
