Description

This episode of Marketing for Good is all about words, words, words! Erica takes a deep dive into Dictionary.com, Big Duck, and Lake Superior State University words to avoid lists. She talks about overused words and phrases specific to marketing, ableist and racist language, and explains function words versus content words. Erica particularly looks at ‘we are all in this together’, ‘tribe’, ‘best practices’, ‘new normal’ and deconstructs why these might not be the best terms for you to be using in your marketing.
