Kill Your White Paper: Smarter Lead Funnels with Maeve Ferguson
The Agents of Change Digital Marketing Podcast
If your lead magnet is a beautifully designed PDF that no one reads, congratulations—you’re normal. Also: that thing isn’t working anymore. In this episode, Maeve Ferguson explains why traditional lead magnets are failing and how diagnostic assessments can attract better leads, pre-sell your expertise, and stop wasting your time on bad-fit prospects. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/611 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

Using Behavioral Science to Drive Change with Melina Palmer
The Agents of Change Digital Marketing Podcast
Let’s be honest: we’ve all been there. You have a brilliant new idea—a product launch, a software switch, or a new marketing campaign—and you present it to your team or your customers with total enthusiasm. And what do you get back? Crickets. Or worse, pushback. It’s not because the idea is bad. It’s because the human brain is hardwired to hate change. In this episode, behavioral economist Melina Palmer returns to explain why our brains cling to the status quo and exactly how you can use behavioral science to get the buy-in you need. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/610 Need help...

Grow Your Business on YouTube in 90 Minutes with Jerry Potter
The Agents of Change Digital Marketing Podcast
Let’s be honest: social media can feel like a hamster wheel. You post on Instagram or LinkedIn, get a few likes, and 24 hours later, that content is dead and you’re back to square one. But what if your content worked for you, building momentum over months and even years? That’s the promise of YouTube. In this episode, I sit down with YouTube strategist Jerry Potter, who breaks down exactly how busy business owners can build a lead-generating channel in just 90 minutes a week—without becoming a full-time content creator. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/609 Need help with your...

Outside-In Marketing Strategy with James Hipkin
The Agents of Change Digital Marketing Podcast
Most of us think our websites are working just fine. They look good. They're fast. They have all our information right there on the homepage. But here's the problem: your website isn't about you. If you're standing on your digital rooftop shouting about how awesome you are—your 15 years in business, your features, your awards—you're doing inside-out marketing. And it's probably why your growth has stalled. James Hipkin has been building businesses with digital marketing since 2010, and he's here to flip the script. Today, we're talking about the shift from inside-out to outside-in...

Creating Messages That Stick with Tamsen Webster
The Agents of Change Digital Marketing Podcast
If you've ever wondered why some marketing messages stick while others vanish faster than your last new year's resolution, you're not alone. The problem isn't that you're bad at messaging—it's that you're only talking to half your audience's brain. Message designer Tamsen Webster returns to the show to explain why speaking to both the analytical and automatic brain is the difference between messages that get ignored and ones people can't unhear. She breaks down her ITBA framework (if, then, because, and) and shows us how to craft messages that create not just clicks, but lasting change. If...

Paid Search for Small Budgets with Brooke Osmundson
The Agents of Change Digital Marketing Podcast
Look, I get it. You've got a modest marketing budget, and every time you hear about Google Ads, you think: "That's for the big players with deep pockets." But here's the thing: paid search can absolutely work for small budgets—you just can't play by the same rules as enterprise brands throwing around unlimited cash. Brooke Osmundson, Director of Growth Marketing at Smith Microsoftware, joined me to break down exactly how small businesses can make paid search work when you're working with $20 to $50 a day (or even less). She's been in the trenches on both the agency and in-house side,...

The Secret Sauce That’s Missing from Your Messaging with Jay Acunzo
The Agents of Change Digital Marketing Podcast
You know that sinking feeling when you realize your carefully crafted content sounds exactly like everyone else's? (Yeah, me too.) Here's the uncomfortable truth: expertise has been commodified. You can share everything you know, and it still won't be enough to stand out because a hundred other voices are saying the same thing—just maybe with different GIFs. Jay Acunzo spent years building a speaking career without a book, without fame, just by owning a singular premise that made people stop and think differently. Now he works behind the scenes with executives and entrepreneurs, helping them...

Melanie Deziel has built her reputation helping speakers, coaches, and businesses transform messy expertise into frameworks people actually remember and share. In this conversation, she walks us through her IRON framework...
