Greg Allan is the director of Response Electricians and he’s the host of the world’s number one podcast for his industry, The Electrician’s Success Podcast. He’s a real case study in how a small business can use content to do amazing things.

Brand Newsroom is a marketing podcast for anyone who has a say in how companies are communicating — covering marketing, content marketing, public relations, media, branding and advertising.

Here are some key take-outs:

• Every business, even a small business, has room for content designed to lift the standards in their industry. You can be a leader.
• Listen to your customers. Ask them what they need. Then provide it.
• Build your own media property. Become a destination for your audience.

On My Desk

• Sarah suggested Mark Schaefer’s article “Is Content Marketing Sustainable?”
• Greg’s advice was to start filming your answers to your customer’s questions and publish them on your site. People will watch video.
• Nic is obsessed with merchandise again. This time he’s getting coffee mugs made. Not a bad idea – people look at their coffee mug on their desk all day.
