Ep80 – Rebranding MNBloggerBash & Creating A Community of Influencers

MNBloggerBash started several years ago as a part of Hubbard Interactive with the idea to connect businesses to bloggers and influencers. We have hosted many events and the team behind those events decided it was time for a rebranding effort. Over the last 6 months they have built a new website, designed new logos and changed the whole color scheme, and even reframed the events themselves. In this episode we talk with a couple ladies from the MNBloggerBash team about the rebrand and what it will mean going forward.

Ep76 – FyreFlop: How Good Marketing Can Go Bad

Netflix and Hulu both recently released documentaries on the same subject: Fyre Festival and its creator, Billy McFarland. They each tell the story differently and are fascinating to watch. Fyre Festival was marketed so well with video and flashy photos along with big-name social media influencers and models like Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski and more. People bought tickets to this one-of-a-kind music festival and expected to have the time of their lives. But in the end the whole thing fell apart and was a big, public flop.

In this episode we talk about the marketing of Fyre Festival and how they were able to make the marketing a success and build such a buzz around the event. We also discuss what went wrong and try to take a few lessons away on community management and influencer marketing.
