Holistic Marketing feat. Ben Hunt
In this episode, Rob and Jonathan are talking to Ben Hunt, marketer, former web designer and author of several books including, “Save the pixel” and “Web design is dead”.
Ben shares a sneak peek at a new concept he’s developing, called Holistic Marketing. If you sell based on expertise and are tired of the marketing funnel analogy, holistic marketing may be a more robust, ethical way to build your business.
In their discussion of Holistic Marketing, they cover…
- Why web design is more marketing than creative design
- How you ‘find your space’ and ‘find your place in time’
- How to create different ways for people to access what you’re offering and why this is important
- Why you should be as generous as you can with your content
- Why you shouldn’t simply choose a niche. You must be that niche.
- Getting paid for who you are not what you do
- The power of interviews for generating content
- Looking to the past and the future for content ideas, but inhabiting the present

Google Remarketing Shenanigans
You only want to show your remarketing ads to people that have been on your website. But, did you know Google will show your remarketing ads to people that have never been on your site and those that have no idea who you are!
Well, it could be the reason why your remarketing ad campaigns get loads of impressions but few conversions.
In this episode, Rob and Jonathan talk about why, when you’re starting to run remarketing ads you should never have this setting active. They’ll show you how to turn this default feature off.
And, the right time to turn it back on.
NB: Rob mentions ‘conservative optimisation’. Google is in the process of renaming this ‘targeting expansion’.
Select ‘No automated targeting’
‘Targeting expansion’ replaces ‘Conservative optimisation’.
