    Vayner X Presents: Marketing for The Now Ep. 40 | Hot Takes for 2023!

    enFebruary 08, 2023

    Podcast Summary

    • Understanding Social Media Trends with AIAI tools like ChatGPT can help creators and businesses analyze social media trends and gain creative insights by analyzing popular content creators' videos, saving time and informing content creation.

      In 2023, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to become a game-changer for creators, entrepreneurs, and businesses in understanding and creating social media content. Austin Sprints, a social media expert with a massive following, shared his perspective that AI tools like ChatGPT will allow users to analyze trends and gain creative insights by analyzing other popular content creators' videos. This can save time and provide valuable information to help users create content that resonates with their audience. For example, by analyzing Mr. Beast's last five videos and Austin's last seven TikToks, users can gain insights into what is aligned in the titles, copy, and timing of their posts, which can then inform their own content creation. This use of AI can help bridge the gap between those in the trenches creating content and those in leadership roles who may not be as familiar with the latest social media trends.

    • Revolutionizing Communication with Brands using AIAI technology like ChatGPT enables creators to analyze brands' websites and social media, tailor messages, align with values, and gain a competitive edge in monetization opportunities.

      AI technology, specifically ChatGPT, is revolutionizing the way we communicate with brands and has the potential to significantly enhance our ability to monetize our work. Users can now ask ChatGPT to analyze a brand's website and social media, allowing them to tailor their messages and align with the company's values. This can give creators a competitive advantage and open up new opportunities. Another exciting development is the rise of boxing in the influencer realm, which offers a unique way for creators to reach a new demographic and get in shape. Overall, these advancements highlight the immense potential of AI and its ability to transform various industries, including marketing and entertainment.

    • Exploring Alternative Content Formats and Valuing TalentRecognizing and utilizing talent within an organization, 1 on 1 basketball matches, Olympic-style races, and listening to customers can lead to unique and engaging content and innovation.

      There's potential for unique and engaging content in various forms beyond the typical meme format. The discussion touched upon the idea of 1 on 1 basketball matches and Olympic-style races as potential alternatives that could attract a large audience due to the mano a mano aspect. Another key point was the importance of recognizing and utilizing the talent within an organization, as highlighted by the example of Hannah's promotion to a chief of staff role. Additionally, Lauren from WeWork emphasized the value of listening to customers and learning from their insights to drive innovation. Overall, the conversation showcased the potential for diverse content and the importance of valuing talent and consumer feedback.

    • Creating Meaningful Connections and Enhancing Work ExperiencesThe speaker admired WeWork's focus on connections and intentional design during the recession and emphasized the need for a holistic approach to work flexibility, including flexibility in meetings and the importance of in-person connections in the hybrid work environment.

      Both the speaker and Lauren share a passion for creating meaningful connections and enhancing work experiences. The speaker expressed admiration for Lauren and her company, WeWork, which was founded during the 2009 recession and focused on the importance of connections and intentional design in the workplace. Now, over a decade later, the speaker emphasized that employees are not just asking for one solution to their work challenges, but rather a holistic approach that provides flexibility and balance. The speaker criticized the trend of shortening meetings as a one-size-fits-all solution and instead, encouraged a focus on understanding how individuals can best work in this hybrid world. The speaker also touched upon the importance of in-person connections and the value of being in the office, which many young workers have discovered during the pandemic. Overall, the speaker emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach to work flexibility and the importance of connections and intentional design in the workplace.

    • Companies adapt to new work structures: remote, hybrid, or traditionalEuropean companies prioritize work-life balance, leading the way in flexible work arrangements. WeWork offers flexible solutions for various team dynamics and work styles.

      Companies are rethinking their work structures in response to the shift towards remote work. Some are embracing a fully remote model, while others are adopting a hybrid approach. The key is finding what works best for each team, as there is no one-size-fits-all solution. European companies, with their cultural emphasis on work-life balance, are leading the way in this new flexible work environment. However, there are still those who prefer a traditional office setup. Ultimately, the goal is to create a workday that is intentional and effective for everyone involved. Companies are trying to understand their teams' needs and preferences to make informed decisions about their workspaces. WeWork is responding to this trend by offering flexible solutions that cater to various work styles and team dynamics. The unknowns of this new work landscape require good intentions and effective tools to navigate, and WeWork's management software solution, WeWorkplace, aims to provide insights into optimizing workspace usage and team collaboration.

    • Building trust and connections in businessStay adaptable, build relationships, and stay true to your brand are crucial for business success. Effective influencer marketing involves personal connections rather than just paid ads.

      Building trust and connection between executives and employees, as well as with customers, is crucial for business success. WeWork, as a company that caters to various work styles and sizes, can help bridge this gap. Maureen Kelly, the CEO and founder of Tarte Cosmetics, also emphasized the importance of hustle, staying true to your brand, and building authentic relationships. She shared how Gary Vaynerchuk, her online mentor, has influenced her business decisions for the past 15 years. For Tarte, influencer marketing has been effective through building personal connections rather than just paid ads. Overall, the importance of staying adaptable, building relationships, and staying true to your brand were key themes discussed in the conversation.

    • Female Empowerment Trip Sparks ControversyFocus on authentic connections and experiences with influencers, shift towards understanding and empathy, and spend marketing budgets on values and goals.

      The line between innovation and controversy in marketing, particularly influencer marketing, can be blurry. The speaker shared an example of a recent female empowerment trip to Dubai that received both positive and negative feedback. Criticisms ranged from the trip being too glamorous to the exclusion of men. However, the speaker emphasized the importance of acknowledging societal hypocrisy and focusing on the common goal of doing one's best. They also highlighted the importance of authentic connections and experiences with influencers, rather than traditional advertising methods. Ultimately, the speaker encouraged a shift towards understanding and empathy, rather than cancel culture and extreme polarization. The speaker also emphasized the importance of brands spending their marketing budgets in a way that aligns with their values and goals, rather than following trends or societal pressure.

    • Creating a personal brand leads to unexpected opportunitiesEmbrace your unique voice and share it with the world to inspire and create opportunities, regardless of age or background.

      Creating and maintaining a personal brand, no matter your age or background, can lead to unexpected opportunities and connections. The speaker shared her experience of entering the digital world through TikTok, despite initial hesitation and criticism. She discovered the joy of creating content and engaging with her audience, even if it meant facing some teasing from her teenage sons. The viral moment she experienced was not just about sales or marketing, but about supporting female-founded businesses and creating a community. The speaker encourages everyone to look beyond the snapshots and consider the whole picture, as every experience, good or bad, contributes to our growth. Embrace your unique voice and share it with the world, as you never know who or what you might inspire.

    • Being a supportive friend and colleagueSupporting and encouraging others can lead to their success. Be open-hearted, understanding, and non-judgmental to build strong relationships.

      Kindness and positivity can go a long way in building strong relationships, both personally and professionally. The speaker shares her experience of being the "ultimate wingman" to her friends and how her support and encouragement led to their success. She also expresses her admiration for a colleague's open-heartedness and creativity. The speaker emphasizes the importance of being understanding and non-judgmental towards others, recognizing that everyone makes mistakes and is trying their best. She concludes by expressing her love and appreciation for those around her, encouraging a positive and supportive work environment.

    The Most Important Question In Business

    The Most Important Question In Business

    Here’s the problem most people run into when they create content online: They think they have to have something to say. So many of you aren’t putting out content online because you think you need to have the perfect message, or something “valuable” to share (based on your own arbitrary opinion). And what I’m telling you is, you will get more business if you put out literally anything. If you’re an auto dealer, you could put out a 5 min video every afternoon just recapping what happened in your day. If you’re a real estate agent, you could post updates on what your opinions are about the Super Bowl teams. Get on social media and tell your truth … it’s really that simple.

    Hiring Friends, Funerals, & The Reality Distortion Field

    #QOTD: What is your favorite morning beverage? 

    I think that "hustle" is something that you're born with. Let me explain.

    Work ethic is definitely a trait people are born with but ultimately I think that the hustle meter is fundamentally affected by who the work you're doing is for. Sure, if you work for yourself, it's really easy to give yourself that high grade hustle. However, if you work for someone else, I think your attitude and effort are solely based on how inspired you are and how protected you are by that leader. I truly believe that because I instill trust and protection (as well as some high standards) for those that work for me, they're able to go all-in and deliver and work as hard as they do due to the culture and the context that comes from within the workplace. 

    At the ground level, everyone is motivated by their own selfishness and there's nothing wrong with that. But then there's a side of it where if the leader presents a workplace based on meritocracy they're going to do whatever they can to not let that leader down but they'll also work hard enough to take advantage of the opportunity to grow and rise through the ranks. It's super fascinating to me see the levels of motivation that are on display among those that work for me as opposed to those that work for themselves. 

    There are so many variables that dictate one's work ethic, but there's no question that a lot of our motivation stems from our life's circumstances, be it traumatic or triumphant. So for me, it's most definitely a nature vs. nurture thing. A lot of our drive comes from our DNA but it's the circumstances of our years that shape the level at which we perform.
