You’re in marketing for one reason: Grow. Grow your company, reputation, customers, impact, profits. Grow yourself. This is a community that will help. It will stretch your mind, connect you to fascinating people, and provide some fun along the way. I am so glad you’re here. -Mark Schaefer
I hate self-promotion. I have left so much money on the table because I’m introverted and culturally, I hate being the center of attention. This may seem counter-intuitive coming from a guy who speaks in front of thousands of people, but I am severely lacking in the art of self-promotion.
This brings me to the topic of the new Marketing Companion podcast, and you are going to love this.
My co-host is Amanda Russell, who went from star athlete (no self-promotion) to YouTube star (tons of self-promotion) to a potential reality TV star (so much self-promotion that she quit) and now an academic where self-promotion is loathed … and yet she’s an influencer and author, expected to do self-promotion.
It’s complicated.
We both bare our souls on this show and talk about the weird realities of self-promotion. I hope this discussion will help you strike the right balance in your life!
