Keep Marketing Weird

Business


Weird: adjective 1: of strange or extraordinary character The above is Webster-Merriam dictionary's definition of the word weird. When we think of "weird", our minds often skew more toward the zany, the bizarre, the outcast, or the unexplainable. When it comes to the approach of this podcast, I prefer to focus on the latter portion of that statement. How often is that you come across marketing that you'd describe as being of "extraordinary character"? My guess is not often. But I'm hoping we can explore some instances where you might find it. Some marketing and marketers that go against the norm, break convention, and keep things, well, weird. Welcome to Keep Marketing Weird, the Austin marketing podcast. This is the intro episode and accompanying show notes…even though it's technically coming after a previous episode. Keep it weird, AMIRIGHT? What's up with that subtitle: the Austin marketing podcast? In this intro episode, I go into that. It's more than just the place I live. It's the community, the marketing community, that I want to build around this endeavor. It's a little piece of me that was missing during a major change in my life. I'm probably making it sound more Hallmark movie than it actually is, but who doesn't love a little dramatic element? So let's dive into this short episode, introducing the concepts and approach of the podcast. One thing I forgot to do, and this is very important, is to tell you my favorite place to get breakfast tacos. This is a question I will be asking all my guests, because it says a lot about someone here in Austin. You know what I mean. My favorite spot is Veracruz Tacos (with El Primo coming in a very close second and El Tacorrido in third). If you're so inclined, join our weird marketing community, let's build something, and get weird together.
