    Episode 21 | Brokerage marketing, the blockchain, and beyond

    Episode 21 | Brokerage marketing, the blockchain, and beyond

    Today we have the privilege to interview one of the true pioneers of internet marketing for the brokerage industry. Lars Seier Christensen is a well-known entrepreneur, investor and businessman from Denmark. 

    Lars was one of the founders of Saxo Bank and has developed that company into one of the online trading market leaders. After Saxo Bank, he has been involved in several projects, most significantly Concordium, an exciting blockchain project and Seier Capital, a private investment fund. Besides his contribution to the global finance industry, Lars owns 25% of the Danish football club, FC Copenhagen. 

    Trading FX online was as new to the world as the internet was when the founders of Saxo Bank grasped both concepts and differentiated their brand early on to become a global brokerage. How did they apply digital marketing to grow their traditional brokerage to a globally recognised investment firm? What does the perfect digital marketing strategy look like for blockchain and financial services today and beyond?

    Saxo Bank continued to grow its brokerage services to areas outside of Denmark and Scandinavia back in the '90s by believing and using what the internet promised it could do— while many other financial service providers were still doubting its capabilities. 

    Join me today for an inspiring journey led by Lars as he shares how they navigated Saxo through the rapidly changing landscape of marketing possibilities brought on by the World Wide Web. We also discuss their collaboration with MediaGroup Worldwide through the years in all aspects of their digital marketing strategies. Lars shares how he envisions the exciting future of blockchain technologies and how Concordium fits into that.

    Episode 20 | Transitioning from physical to virtual and hybrid events

    Episode 20 | Transitioning from physical to virtual and hybrid events

    Join me today for another exciting interview as I talk to Andreas Høgsberg, founder of Virtual Hive. This 3D Virtual Events platform has taken Europe by storm as a realistic and enticing alternative to hosting physical fairs, shows and conferences.

    Andreas takes us through their journey of how Virtual Hive came to be as it was catapulted into fruition by the onset of the Covid-19 global pandemic. As their company was bleeding quite heavily due to all events being closed down by the pandemic, it did not stop them from investing equally as much into developing the new 3D platform. What might have seemed like a risky endeavour at the time evolved into a superb investment.

    Today, Virtual Hive is at the forefront as a digital meeting platform for virtual or hybrid conferences, meetings, fairs, and trade shows. The vision to combine state-of-the-art event technology with the most engaging and fulfilling user experiences based on extensive knowledge of human behaviour was well worth the effort as the platform is creating excitement for users and event owners.

    Andreas shares how they went from looking for investors for Virtual Hive only a short year ago to where they are at today. We discuss how they reach their target audience by engaging on various mediums and collaborating with MediaGroup Worldwide for various marketing channels. He also shares how their expertise in the industry positions them well to drive awareness of their new technology in their target markets on the East Coast of the US, Germany, Norway, Denmark and the UK.

    Episode 19 | Using storytelling to attract clients and motivate staff

    Episode 18 | The Human Connection In Digital Marketing

    Episode 18 | The Human Connection In Digital Marketing

    Join us for an engaging discussion on how to break down the digital barriers between your brand and your target audience. Marketing is all about passion. If you don't have a passion for it, it will show. It's not the volume that matters - it's the quality of what you do and delivers that you do. This same passion helped our guest today to grow his LI connections from 200 to 22,000 by focusing on the human connection we all strive for—professionally and personally.

    People want to connect with people - not a company name. So, keeping this in mind, you either innovate or perish in the modern post-Covid digital age. Jeffrey shares his journey with us from being constantly airborne - flying worldwide to visit and recruit new business — to using LinkedIn as his primary platform for communicating with existing and canvassing new business leads.

    Using LI as a publishing forum for industry-specific and quality content, Jeffrey then used it to personally interact and communicate 1-on-1 with the connections he has made there.  Although it is a time-consuming approach - it allows him to form personal and trusted relationships with his target audience - breaking through the digital barriers that often remove and alienate us from our customers.

    You can listen to how Jeffrey uses LI as the starting point for connection and how he then engages with his connections to move them along the funnel to becoming valued customers.

    Episode 16 | Bringing design and technology together for better digital experiences

    The world can appreciate the importance of design and innovation. Moonraft Innovation Labs focuses on Design-Driven Innovation. They are bringing Design, Art and Technology together to deliver differentiated digital experiences that drive business outcomes in exciting and innovative ways.

    Moonraft is indeed an exciting design-driven UX firm on a mission to advance human experience through design-driven innovation. Moonraft is a design-driven digital experience. They use design to solve customer problems and deliver a smooth synergy between UI (user interface) and UX (user experience). They set off with the whole idea of bringing design and technology together after realising there was a gap in the market where you design digital experiences, but what goes live is very different. Moonraft came into existence while attempting to solve this problem. They brought design and technology together to drive digital experiences that come out the way they were designed.

    The design offers new meaning through creative expression at the intersection of business and technology. Design is all about creating innovative solutions for customers with emotional appeal; art is self-expression meant to engage an audience emotionally to create the desired response from them – this link between both disciplines creates opportunities that drive innovation across industries.

Their techno-creative team, bridging consumer insights, business understanding and advanced technology skills, then builds humanistic technology solutions.

    Episode 15 | Data-driven marketing as a creative partner on a CMO's journey

    Episode 15 |  Data-driven marketing as a creative partner on a CMO's journey

    We have an exciting up-close and personal discussion about how CMO deals with the challenges they face in a new era of limited personal interaction with their teams and clients and what may seem like a less creative but data-driven approach to marketing highly competitive brands. 

    How do they differentiate their brands in a very crowded marketplace? Although there seems to be much less creativity in marketing over the last ten years due to the demand for a data-driven approach, there is an intangible level of creativity that you can't see in data. You can still use it to make somebody feel something about your brand. The next level of creativity within this data-driven approach is in its successful execution. These are just some elements that don't get talked about enough within the marketing industry that we discuss in today's episode.


    Ollie, like many CMOs, experiences SEO as their nemesis when it is a very creative tool in their marketing strategies when understood and applied correctly. It contributes to measurable growth and brand equity in their markets and within various departments across an organisational platform.


    Our guest

    Ollie Rosewell: Chief Marketing Officer at Eightcap, leading a team of 20 marketers in Bulgaria and a smaller team in London. 

    An exciting full mix senior leadership role delivering B2C and B2B2C growth plans across global markets.

    Episode 12 | Understanding LinkedIn Marketing

    Join us for an in-depth and expert discussion today with Gary Wong, a former LinkedIn Marketing team member in  Hong Kong, where he helped companies to plan out their LinkedIn strategies for both organic and paid — and now an expert in his field consulting B2B start-ups to enterprise-level organisations. 

    We discuss how you can use LinkedIn effectively within your current marketing budget while still making a notable impact on your revenue and ROI. Gary gives us excellent advice on how to utilize the platform best to build brand awareness, education, and trust — and not necessarily for pushing sales. He explains why many B2B companies miss the true power that LI offers their brand, and how they can restrategize to turn it back in the right direction and yield better results from this powerful online community platform.  

    Understanding where it fits into the sales funnel will help you produce better and more relevant content to deliver better results.  We also discuss why it is vital that your lead-gen approach on LI is important to understand to enable your sales teams to be more effective.

    Our guest:

    Gary Wong is an Ex-LinkedIner and Co-founder of https://www.theinacademy.com. He also hosts the APAC B2B Revenue Marketing Podcast and is an ex-semipro rugby player.

    Episode 7 | Beyond The Pixel

    Episode 7 | Beyond The Pixel

    The internet created an entirely new way of buying that left out the crucial buyer experience altogether. Although the focus shifted to 'the faster the better' —  we can expect a counter-movement where people start craving again for that highly personalised engagement and care that used to be the defining line in adding value to a brand.

    It's not that retail is dead, this is evident by the number of innovative brands continuously opening new retail locations. But, in recent times, retail is fulfilling a different function. 

    How we buy is clearly divided into what we need vs what we want. These two segments need separate approaches online to capture and engage your perfect market share. Luxury brand consumers wouldn't buy the trendiest Louis Vitton handbag at a supermarket.  It does not fulfil the customer's purpose for purchasing the desired brand's item, to begin with. Luxury brands gain their status by creating a niche—almost cult-like—market that buys into their brand value and status and wants a share in it. The buyer's online journey needs to reflect the value of their time and funds spent—and match it with a real-life experience that makes them feel valued and recognised as part of the 'inner circle' of the brand.

    How can brands create an authentic virtual experience and make buying online something real? How does Louis Vitton and Mercedes secure their success and retain their luxury brand status now that consumer needs and preferences have permanently shifted in virtual reality?

    These hot topics take centre stage in today's chat with Bart Burggraaf. 

    Bart Burggraaf is a Partner at MediaGroup. In the agency, he mostly focuses on marketing strategy, technology, new business, and staffing. Before working at MediaGroup, he managed global marketing at Citibank’s Margin FX business and worked on online marketing for Saxo Bank in Copenhagen.

    Episode 6 | How Does Saxo Bank do SEO?

    Episode 6 | How Does Saxo Bank do SEO?

    Search Engine Optimization as a field has grown up alongside Google. Google is like a mountain—you can climb the mountain, but you can't move it. It has now gotten to a stage where it is very hard for ‘normal’ marketers to get the most out of their search presence. Hiring specialised staff or agencies becomes almost a requirement to compete in some markets. The rewards for playing can be enormous, with some estimates stating that almost 53% of the traffic from search engines comes from organic search results.

    Robbin and I discuss how Saxo Bank is informing and educating traders to make ‘safer and better trading decisions—and in the process, improve the bank’s position in the search engines for online trading-related queries. We talk about how SEO works for Saxo and what role MediaGroup plays in its strategy. We also discuss affiliate marketing—the Saxo way—focusing on partnerships over loose advertising relationships.

    Join us as we discuss these topics and get a rare look in the kitchen of one of the world's biggest online trading companies, originally from Copenhagen, Denmark.

    Our guest:

    Robbin Wolfs is the Global affiliate & SEO lead at Saxo Bank. Robbin is originally from Amsterdam, where he spent some time lecturing the Digital Marketing class at University-level and also worked for an engineering consultancy firm before joining Saxo Bank at their Copenhagen offices.

    Episode 3 | The Art of Social Media

    Episode 3 | The Art of Social Media

    How important is Social Media in today's advertising landscape? Social media platforms are content-driven by users, so how do we measure the stages of a buyer’s journey on social media and match it with the perfect campaign? Or,  reach our client’s expectations with measurable results?  

    You depend on people seeing your ads when you build a marketing plan. If you're only available in the physical world today, you will miss a large market for consumer awareness. You must be visible to them at the right time to ensure you reach all potential customer touchpoints in their online buying journey. 

    Julie talks about how we identify target groups and the different stages of their journey. If you want to scale, you have to keep on developing; to do that; you must keep on testing. We discuss the ever-changing horizon of Social Media Marketing and how to ensure we get our client’s product and message in front of the right audience at the right stage of their online journey — without disrupting anybody’s right to privacy. 

    Our guest:

    Julie Nyholm Peterson is our Head of Social, working from our Copenhagen Office. Julie joined the agency in 2019 and now leads the social advertising team with a highly data-driven approach. Before MediaGroup, Julie gained experience in the e-commerce and consulting space. Julie studied Sales and Marketing at the Copenhagen Business School.

    Please add your comments and thoughts below. We value your feedback. If you want to discuss your Social Media marketing strategy and plan, please feel free to reach out at: info@mediagroupww.com, and we will be happy to discuss solutions with you.

    Episode 2 | The ABC of SEO

    If you can not be found on Google, do you even exist? High-quality SEO is a long-term strategy with lasting results. Heading into a full-on digital age, it is one of your most valuable KPIs with scalable results.  SEO, in a nutshell, has two primary elements: what happens on your website and what happens outside and around your website. Each has multiple levels and layers that determine its success online in various search engines.

    Andrew shares valuable insights into what his team does daily to let our client’s websites thrive in a highly competitive digital age of SERP battles and data-driven digital marketing campaigns. Andrew and his team specialise not only in Google SEO but have localised teams across the globe with expertise in Baidu, Bing, Naver, and other new and more exotic search engines. 

    We hear how a renewed focus on on-page SEO and merely correcting meta tags led to results spanning up to a 2,000% increase in organic traffic for a global client in just two years. Andrew also put a new emphasis on high-quality link-building strategies with extraordinary and measurable results. 

    Our Guest: Andrew Oleksik -  Head of SEO at MediaGroup. 

    He manages one of the biggest company teams. He joined the agency in 2013, and since then, he has gained broad experience in developing and executing SEO strategies for large companies with an international reach.
