@MissTriathlonAndrew Pickering and Pete Gartland, Co-Founders of Andrew And Pete, join the Social Pros Podcast to discuss how a unique and consistent content stamp can launch your brand to new heights.
Be Better Than Better
The quest for better content has claimed the sanity of many social media marketers. With so many platforms and so much noise, it is hard to know how to be the best.
Andrew and Pete know that it takes more than being the best. It takes being different to get noticed.
Standing apart from the crowd means embracing and sharing that which makes you uniquely you. People talk about what (or who) surprises them and somebody who is simply better at social media is not worth sharing. But somebody that has a unique voice on their blog? Now that’s worth talking about.
Getting to that likeable shareable point will not happen by chance. Success is not stumbled upon and viral status doesn’t have to be an accident. Andrew and Pete have literally scheduled the boring right out of their brand and made success a task in their calendar.
Their deceptively simple approach to engaging and motivating social through scheduled difference has rocketed this duo to the top of their game.
In This Episode
- How being a little bit more human leads to less of a barrier between you and your customers
- Why creating standout content means being better or being different
- How a schedule for success actually leads to success in half the time
- Why tripling or quadrupling your click-through rate means moving content with chatbots
