Just Say "No" to Bro Marketing

Emily Aborn

Text Emily!


Aggressive, manipulative, disingenuous marketing that prioritizes quick wins and profit over authentic connection and value is OUT. 

Cozy, human-centered, ethical, kind marketing is IN! 

In this episode, we break down the concept of "bro-marketing" as I help you steer clear of the obvious (and not so obvious) versions I see business owners tempted to try. 

Scarcity tactics, pain points, one-size-fits-all solutions and formulas, clickbait, disguises, inflation, and endless pestering... we'll get into it all!

In this episode: 

  • What is "bro marketing"?
  • What are some examples of bro marketing/sheisty marketing? 
  • What to do instead of sleazy marketing tactics
  • Invitation for your own marketing review
  • And more!
