The concept of the Marketing Pie represents the need to spread marketing efforts across multiple channels, such as SEO, social media, email marketing and PR, to avoid relying on a single channel. By nurturing and maintaining all the pieces of the Marketing Pie, businesses can achieve stability, increase brand awareness and increase the likelihood of branded search. This strategic approach allows companies to stay at the top of the list and increase their visibility and credibility in the online space.

In this episode, Leanna DeBellevue discusses the tremendous importance of creating a marketing pie. Leanna emphasizes the need to diversify marketing efforts and the potential risks if a business becomes too reliant on one platform. Leanna explains that a Marketing Pie consists of splitting marketing into different elements to ensure a consistent and resilient brand. She recommends having about six to eight different components in the marketing pie, depending on resources and industry. The discussion also covers the different strategies for the various social media platforms, the importance of reviews in the Marketing Pie, the significance of your target audience and the integration of AI as an essential support to current marketing strategies

As always, the show ends with passing the baton… Leanna passes the virtual baton to next week’s awesome guest, Nitin Manchanda.
