  1. How to Start Advertising on Podcasts with Kelli Hurley, VP Head of Content and Podcast Partnership Sales at SiriusXM

    Show notes

    Kelli Hurley, VP, Head of Content and Podcast Partnership Sales at SiriusXM, sits between brands and podcast creators on every deal. She calls the job a combo of diplomacy and psychological warfare.

    Before SiriusXM, Kelli helped build the Westwood One Podcast Network, so she’s watched creator Marketing grow from simple host reads into video, social, and live events.
    She tells us where a brand should put its 1st podcast dollars when it has SOME budget (but not TV budget), why some creator briefs can kill a deal before it starts, and the 1 measurement problem the whole industry STILL hasn’t cracked. Plus, the Marketing hill she’d die on, and why it changes how you should think about brand safety.

    If you’re a Marketer who wants to make creator partnerships actually pay off, this episode is for YOU.

    ㅤ

    Follow Daniel on LinkedIn and check out The Marketing Millennials podcast for sharp, no-fluff marketing insights. Subscribe to Ari Murray’s newsletter at https://gotomillions.co/ for sharp, actionable marketing insights.

    ㅤ

    LinkedIn posts that look almost identical are getting 8,000 impressions one day and 80,000 the next. Instagram has dropped its years of resistance to long-form video. And more inboxes now let AI decide what people actually read. Jay Schwedelson and Daniel Murray work out which of these shifts should change how you market, and they settle once and for all whether bottle service makes you a tool.

    ㅤ

    Best Moments:

    (02:58) Jay stopped liking his own posts from company pages, and reach went up

    (06:09) Why Instagram may be a much easier growth play than YouTube

    (06:49) How brands can tease a launch and keep viewers on Instagram for the full reveal

    (07:49) The first 200 characters of live text are email’s new North Star

    (08:50) Image-heavy emails are invisible to AI summaries

  3. How To Win in B2B Social in 2026 with Chris Cunningham, Founding Member at ClickUp

    Show notes

    B2B social isn’t broken…most brands are just playing it wrong.

    Daniel sits down with Chris Cunningham, founding member of ClickUp and the brain behind one of the most recognizable B2B social strategies today.

    Chris breaks down how ClickUp went from a scrappy pivot to a content powerhouse by betting early on creators, comedy, and consistency, even when everyone said B2B social wouldn’t work. From building an internal creator team to launching multiple niche media pages, Chris shares the exact operating system ClickUp uses to generate millions of organic impressions every month.

    You’ll also learn:

    •

    Why B2B brands should copy B2C trends before they’re “acceptable”

    •

    How ClickUp runs its weekly content machine from ideation to publishing

    •

    Why creator-led pages and employee-generated content are the future of B2B marketing

  4. How Brands Stay Distinct in the Age of AI with Anthony Reeves, Author of Eat the Donkey | Ep. 450

    Show notes

    Why does every brand suddenly look the same? Anthony Reeves, author of Eat the Donkey and former brand and creative leader at Amazon, Kohler, LVMH, and WPP, has a theory, and it starts with "optimization."

    If using the same AI tools and the same data as your competitors leads to the same results, how do you stand out? Anthony breaks down why friction might be the key.

    Plus, the one data point that makes or breaks a creative brief, how to tell productive friction from plain old bureaucracy, and the McLaren rebrand that has Daniel fired up.

    If you’re a Marketer who wants to build a brand that stands out instead of blending in, this episode is for YOU.

  5. Marketing to Multicultural Audiences with Briana Méndez, Associate Director, Audience Insights & Strategy, SiriusXM Media

    Show notes

    Is your multicultural Marketing just a diverse cast and a translated script?
    Briana Méndez, Associate Director of Audience Insights and Strategy at SiriusXM Media, helps brands get past that.
    She’s a Puerto Rican kid from the Florida suburbs who got her start at Remezcla, and now she helps brands understand 250 million listeners without flattening them into 1 demographic box. Because if you talk to everyone, you talk to no one.
    She shares what happened when SiriusXM Media and the agency Alma tested in-culture audio creative (who it worked on might surprise you), and what Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show proved about going all in on cultural specificity.
    Plus, why Gen Z men are swapping music for podcasts, and the “Feel Core” trend that could change where your ads should run.
    If you’re a Marketer who wants to reach multicultural audiences without shoving people in a box, this episode is for YOU.

  6. Is AEO Just SEO in a COSTUME? Run This Incognito Test| Ep. 131

    Show notes

    Budgets are tight heading into the holidays, so a plain “20% off” feels weaker than it might another year. Jay Schwedelson shares the offer framing that wins when people are watching every dollar, and Daniel Murray makes the case for pitching your product as a must-have 2027 budget line.

    They also call out the AEO “experts” selling snake oil and explain why your year-old posts still deserve a pinned comment. Plus a Halloween costume brainstorm and a Harry Potter quiz that doesn't go well for Jay.
    Best Moments:

    (03:29) Why “costs less than 2 lattes” beats a discount when budgets are tight
    (04:26) Turning holiday wishlists into a B2B “add this to your budget” pitch
    (06:23) The commenter you should always pin, and why you shouldn’t set it and forget it
    (08:28) Why paying someone to “get you into AI” is a red flag
    (10:37) The incognito test to run before you trust any AI visibility results
    (12:31) A Masked Singer pitch for Marketingland, with Jay as judge

  7. How to Develop Marketing Taste with Amanda Natividad, VP of Marketing at SparkToro

    Show notes

    Amanda Natividad, VP of Marketing at SparkToro and the Marketer who coined "zero-click content," is back for round 2 to talk about taste.
    Everyone says great Marketing takes taste, or that taste is the moat against AI. Nobody explains where it comes from.

    Amanda and Daniel dig into how you build it, and how you prove a post is working when there's no click to track (and the platforms are burying your links anyway).

    Plus, why you should reverse engineer the comment you want before you hit post, and the hidden cost of publishing just to hit a quota.

    If you're a Marketer who wants to make content people love to share, this episode is for YOU.

  8. The Science of Scaling, with Blake Erickson, Co-Founder of Scaling.com | Ep. 449

    Show notes

    Blake Erickson, Co-Founder of Scaling.com and co-author of The Science of Scaling, says 10x growth is easier than 2x. Daniel wanted to know why.

    Blake went from missionary work in Peru, to building a 400-rep door-to-door sales company, to helping founders scale. He breaks down what an "impossible goal "looks like for a Marketing team, and how to tell if you're the one slowing everything down.

    Plus, where AI moves the needle (and where it's just building cool stuff nobody needs), and his answer to the one A player vs. twenty B players debate.

  9. How to Win On Sports Audio, with Adam Marks, Sports Sales Director at SiriusXM Media

    Show notes

    By kickoff, sports fans already know what they’re buying. If you only show up during the game, you missed your window.

    Adam Marks, Sports Sales Director at SiriusXM Media, helps brands reach fans in high-attention moments AROUND the game: sports talk, podcasts, streaming, and live events. He’s a 14-year Pandora and SiriusXM vet, a proud (and lonely) Ravens fan, and once launched SiriusXM’s Masters program from his bedroom with a 103 fever.
    He explains why the best time to reach fans is Monday morning in the car, not Sunday on the couch. He also shares how brands without $50M for a league deal can still own an NFL season, and a story about a no-laptops brainstorm that turned one QSR into one of SiriusXM’s biggest advertisers.

  10. How to Show Up in AI Without Getting Flagged by Google | Bathroom Break #130

    Show notes

    Pumping out AI-written filler content could be quietly tanking your site. Daniel explains Google’s new spam update, which flags websites full of low-quality AI content, and why a few strong pieces with real stats beat 200 keyword articles. Jay shares Ahrefs data showing that pages not updated in a year are two times less likely to be cited by AI, and that adding schema made no difference across 1,900 pages. He also explains why listicles are the format AI pulls from most.

    AI search is acting like the 1995 internet right now: lazy, hungry for fresh content, and drawn to simple formats. If you’re a Marketer who wants to show up in AI answers without getting penalized by Google, this is the episode for YOU.

  11. Stop Sending Ad Traffic to Your Homepage with Val Riley, VP of Marketing at Unbounce

    Show notes

    Wait a minute - are you still sending ad traffic to your homepage? Val Riley, VP of Marketing at Unbounce, says Google's noticed, and your landing page might be the reason your ads stop showing up.
    Val got into Marketing because her writing set her apart, and she was an Unbounce customer at her last 3 companies before she ever worked there.
    She and Daniel get into what Google's ad quality updates mean for your landing pages, and why changing even a single word per channel can pay off more than a full rebuild would.
    Plus, the hill Val is willing to die on for every Marketing team (and why most companies won't pay for it).

    Show notes

    If Gen Z is on your media plan and Roblox isn’t, Stephanie Latham, VP of Global Brand Partnerships and Advertising at Roblox, has some news for you: that math isn't mathing.

    Stephanie helped build what social advertising looks like at Meta. Now she’s doing it again, on a platform where users spend almost 3 hours a day playing, building, and hanging out with friends.

    She breaks down the 3 smartest ways brands can show up on Roblox, which 1 to test first, and why teams willing to hand creators the keys tend to win (surprise, surprise).

    Plus, she tackles the safety question every Marketer (and parent) asks 1st, and how Fenty Beauty turned a Roblox experience into a product you can literally buy at Sephora.

    Show notes

    From now through January, four words decide whether people open your email: outlook, trends, prediction and forecast. Jay explains why everyone wants to know what’s coming and why these words belong in every subject line, webinar title and offer right now. He also shares the content format that pairs with them: an AI-built 2027 calendar for your industry, gated to grow your list, which sees over a 75% lift from October through January. Daniel adds year-end roundups of your best content and your own 2027 predictions.

    Then they get into the AI tools they actually use. Daniel quietly had Lovable reverse engineer a prompt so he could rebuild a website section in Claude. Jay swears by Wispr Flow for dictation and Gamma for building decks in seconds. They also explain why being scared to share your data with AI is the real risk, and how Meta’s Muse caught Jay paying for NBA League Pass twice without being asked.

    Show notes

    What if your ads are only driving 10% of your sales? Sorin Patilinet, Global Marketing Effectiveness Lead at PepsiCo, says most Marketers are measuring the smallest lever they've got.

    This engineer-turned-Marketer spent 13 years building the Marketing effectiveness practice at Mars before bringing his measurement obsession to PepsiCo. He also literally wrote the book on it.
    He and Daniel get into why measurement should never start with your data (what??) and what testing hundreds of ads on real brains will reveal about your creative.

    Plus, why Sorin doesn't trust surveys and the one metric he'd track over engagement.

  17. LinkedIn, Instagram & Subject Line Tactics That Are Working In Q4 | Bathroom Break #128

    Show notes

    Q4 inboxes and feeds are about to get crowded, and last quarter's tactics might not be enough to stand out. Jay and Daniel trade the subject line plays they're betting on right now. Daniel puts a specific number like 7, 5, or 8 (never a round 10) at the front of his subject lines, and he mixes lowercase with a single all-caps word. Jay capitalizes the entire first word, like NEW, and opens with the offer in brackets. He also moves emojis to the middle or end of the subject line, or bookends them in the preheader, because a leading emoji causes problems for screen readers.

    They also break down LinkedIn's new collaborative posts, which push one post into up to five feeds (including company pages) without counting as sponsored. Then they get into why Instagram's new AI agents in Edits are worth using now but could turn everyone's feed into a wall of sameness later. Daniel's workaround is to test new hooks with trial reels so they reach non-followers first. The bigger lesson is that when a platform launches a new feature, you should lean in early, because that's when it gets the most distribution. If you're a Marketer who wants more opens and more reach heading into Q4, this is the episode for YOU.

  19. How to Measure Brand Marketing Success with Peter Giorgi, SVP, Creative Excellence and Brand Experience at Rocket | Ep. 446

    Show notes

    How do you get an entire Super Bowl stadium to sing along to your ad? Peter Giorgi, SVP, Creative Excellence and Brand Experience at Rocket, figured it out...2 weeks before kickoff.

    After his time at Airbnb and the agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Peter helped Rocket stop selling mortgage rates and start selling homeownership, and he and Daniel get into why that idea was just sitting there for the taking in the first place.

    Plus, a live TV risk that could have fallen completely flat, what happened when Rocket listed an NBA arena on Redfin (and a tornado rolled in), and why a great ad doesn't need a blockbuster budget.

    And his Marketing hill to die on? Let's just say AI won't love it.
    If you're a Marketer who wants to build brand campaigns people actually feel, this episode is for YOU.

  20. Use Prediction Markets to Plan Your 2027 Content | Bathroom Break #127

    Show notes

    Marketers are quietly sleeping on one of the biggest data sets out there: prediction markets. Jay explains how Kalshi and Polymarket work like a giant survey on almost any topic, except people are putting real money behind their answers, which makes the results unusually accurate. He also shares the exact prompt to use in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Tell it your audience, have it search Kalshi and Polymarket for five active, non-political, non-sports markets that signal what that audience will care about in the next 3 to 12 months, then ask for content ideas. He also explains why you should never try to dig through those sites yourself.

    Daniel explains why now is the perfect time to publish forward-looking 2027 content, and how prediction data lets you pair thought leadership with real numbers you can link out to. The bigger idea is that surveys capture what people say, while money shows what they actually think, so always follow the money. If you're a Marketer who wants to get ahead of what your audience cares about next, this episode is for YOU.
