99+ Valuable Connections
These are the life-changing results Kotryna Kurt got from her personal brand.
Us marketers always talk about the webinar that did a million dollars. How we got 10 million views. Or how we got our MRR to 70k.
Those are unicorn results. That take decades of work, patience, and luck.
Kotryna Kurt's results are attainable by anyone.
Anyone that:
...2020-02-2600 minThe Marketing PicnicJohan Johansson AKA One Data-Driven Boiiii“Without big data, you are blind and deaf and in the middle of a freeway.” – Geoffrey Moore
Why are so many founders in the middle of the freeway?
We all know that we need to be data-driven.
Data is knowing what your customers want.
Data is solving problems before they arise.
Data is knowing what's going on.
People bombard us with praise for data 24/7.
But let's be honest.
Most are not using it to their full potential.
Sure...2020-02-2500 minThe Marketing PicnicDavid Brier AKA One Brand-y BoiiiiNobody cares about your pitch.
We see more than 5000 marketing messages a day.
That's a lot of noise.
90% of those messages are forgotten instantly.
That's why you need to rise above the noise.
You need to be seen as different.
Enter David Brier.
World-renown branding expert and Bestselling-author.
He's worked with everyone from Rolling Stones Magazine to startups and even cities.
"Branding is the art of differentiation."
It's not just about making a logo.
2020-02-2400 minThe Marketing PicnicJon Buchan AKA One Drunk Cold Emaily Boiiiiii"My colleague forwarded me your spam email and we'd like to meet you to discuss opportunities."
Not the response you expect after a night of drunk cold emailing.
Why did he even send pictures of ferrets anyway?
Especially to senior management of The Coca-Cola Company, Symantec Hewlett Packard Enterprise etc.
It was an act of desperation.
The warm leads had dried up.
Payroll was coming.
So he got drunk and started emailing.
Probably expecting to close shop soon.
But something crazy...2020-02-2100 minThe Marketing PicnicMikko Alasaarela aka One Visionary BooiiiiiiHave you ever met a true visionary?
Someone way ahead of his time?
That knows what's coming?
I have.
His name is Mikko Alasaarela.
This 7x founder with 3 exits has always been on the cutting edge.
He started his first tech startup in 1999.
Success despite the dotcom crash.
He's always a step ahead.
Right now he's working on Inbot/ Intoken.
An AI powered platform to facilitate B2B introductions.
With a powerful cryptocurrency to back...2020-02-2000 minThe Marketing PicnicHugo L-Hamel AKA One Custom BoiiiiAt 13 he started building websites.
At 15 he started his first IT company.
At 25 he was hired as a Growth Hacker for Yellow Pages.
Not something just anyone can accomplish.
Personalization.
Hype word for most.
Science for Hugo.
But what does it mean?
Well, I'll give you an example.
Currently, Sonny De Meester and I are reaching out to barbershops.
We send them a series of emails.
If they don't respond.
We...2020-02-1900 minThe Marketing PicnicDylan Hey AKA The Hardest Kicker in MarketingWe're talking about:

- Coaching.
- Life and stuff2020-02-1800 minThe Marketing PicnicMark Metry AKA One Podcasty BoiiiMark's the host of World's top 100 Podcast, humans 2.0.
Honestly, I could leave this introduction to that.
But here's something interesting.
When I asked Mark what his proudest achievements were. He didn't lead with his podcast.
He didn't lead with founding a 6-figure business at age 15 either.
None of that superficial stuff.
He led with:
"I've learned to love and forgive myself."
Anyway, back to the podcast. What do you need to know?
One thing would be that...2020-02-1700 minThe Marketing PicnicKatie Wallace AKA The Pocahontas of LinkedInIf you want a no-bs approach to becoming an influencer, giving jobs to the jobless and saving the planet, Katie is your woman.
She's another one of those people that make you think: What am I doing with my life?
This Disney Princess had to overcome though challenges to survive her own heroine's journey.
She had to:
- Overcome a drug addiction
- Overcome serious mental health issues.
- Leave corporate to start a company with 0 experience.
But it paid off.
2020-02-1400 minThe Marketing PicnicJaime Cohen AKA The Girl Who Helps You Find #TheRightWordsA boss lady who delivers first and asks questions later.
Someone that never compromises on her vision.
A rare kind soul who's seen adversity.
In 6 months time, she lost her job, her mom and her greatest dream.
She never let that stop her.
Her kickass mode is on 24/7, i.e:
In 2011 she started a business based on Fiverr. Not a 2011 thing.She's an influencer status on Instagram, LinkedIn, and even on the first social media platform.Jaime also invented #TheRightWords method to level up personal brands...2020-02-1300 minThe Marketing PicnicSonny Tannan AKA Jack of all Trades, Master of LifeHere's what I'm going to grill him on:
1) How can brands communicate effectively
2) What's the secret to Positioning

- Stapho2020-02-1000 minThe Marketing PicnicBaptiste Dbv AKA The Man That Will Read Your Customer's MindHere's something that I didn't realize when I started my business.
My "genius" ideas, workflows and processes might not be that.... genius.
Often, they make life uncomfortable for my clients. Things that seem obvious to me are often not to my clients.
This can be very frustrating.
Your customers too might be getting pissed off at something easily fixable.
And you wouldn't even know it.
This kind of misunderstandings can be overcome at the personal level in a small company.
But forget about that when...2020-02-0700 minThe Marketing PicnicAngelo Sorbello AKA The Marketing Fortune TellerI'll never forget the first time I got on the phone with Angelo.
He has this rare mix of elite skill and humility.
He's the only marketer I know that shows up on the first page of Google for all the cutting edge marketing niches:
- Messenger Chatbots
- LinkedIn Lead Generation
- Generating evergreen Traffic
He ran an online magazine with thousands of monthly visitors when he was in high school for god's sake.
One of the few people that has both...2020-02-0600 minThe Marketing PicnicCharlie Price aka The King Of Cold OutreachIf there would be one person, I'd consider a mentor for Marketing it would have to be Charlie Price.
When I first decided to get started with Social Media Marketing, I started looking for a community to hone my craft.
Traffic and Copy was that community for me.
There Charlie and Vin Clancy taught everything they knew. They spoke I listened. I wouldn't have gotten this far without them.
Matter of fact, most of you wouldn't see this post if I hadn't met him.
There's a lot...2020-02-0500 minThe Marketing PicnicSarah Grosz aka The Internet BreakerSarah is a badass who got hired by BAMF after she got kicked out of school for growth hacking too hard.
She's also an epic content creator, and she totally talked shit to me after I sent her an automated message.
Oh,
you want to hear about why she got kicked out of school?
Sure, so imagine this:
You're a beautiful, smart young lady and you're the president of the entrepreneurship club at your uni.
You have this huge entrepreneurship planned and you know it's going to...2020-02-0400 minThe Marketing PicnicCurt Mercadante AKA The Dumbeldore of LinkedIn.What is this? A crossover episode?
That's right witches, this is a Hogwarts special. Dumbledore and Harry Potter are reunited in this one-off special.
Enough Jokes, I need to introduce this wizard and I need to do it properly. So here we go.
Curt's one of those coaches that decide to succeed first and coach later. Before his current adventure, he ran a successful public relations/ advertising company.
He made some millies there and he was great at what he did but after many years he discovered something...
2020-02-0300 minThe Marketing PicnicNicholas D'hondt AKA the Granddaddy of Scheduling MeetingsOh god, how did we even make it to episode 11? Didn't expect this when we came up with The Picnic.
I also didn't see epic guests like Nicholas coming.
Who knew that there were so many cool Belgian boiiis in the marketing scene?
I sure didn't, but I'm always ready to support my countrymen.
Although I don't think a baller like Nicholas needs much help.
I mean look at what he's achieved so far:
1) He started a planning tool named Plann3r. This tool looks...2020-01-3100 minThe Marketing PicnicAndrei Zinkevich AKA The Lead WhispererAs you guys know, there is nothing I enjoy more than feeling stupid. And if there's one person that has consistently made me feel stupid over the last 6 months, it's my main man Andrei.
He's an absolute God when it comes to b2b marketing.
If I have any question about b2b marketing, I'll always check his blog (getleado) first.
That's why I shared an excerpt of his blog here, earlier this week.
What I admire most about his approach is that it's extremely logical and well thought out. If...2020-01-3000 minThe Marketing PicnicJanosch Lenzi aka The King of LinksWe have Janosch, the founder of Joturl.
Joturl is an exceedingly clever, all-in-one suite for your marketing links.
It's what we use to track link open rates, figure out the destinations, track conversion, remarket people, deep link and so much more.
It's really a crazy effective tool that we use every day, so I'm stocked AF to get a chance to talk to the founder. (that you're gonna be there to watch is just a lucky by-product for me tbh).
But this Picnic won't just be about this epic tool, it's...2020-01-2900 minThe Marketing PicnicProf. Scott Davis aka The Only Marketing Professor I've Ever Listened ToMy friend, Professor Scott Davis teaches courses about Marketing Management, Integrated Marketing Communications, and the Sales Force.
He does that at The University of Houston-Downtown Davies College of Business. He's also passionate about making online education better.

He also has an extremely interesting podcast called the "Marketing Mixtape".
It's one of the only podcasts I listen too and coincidentally, a podcast that I've appeared on! (I'll link it in the comments).
And it's actually that last part that impresses me so much. You see, most marketing professors talk...2020-01-2800 minThe Marketing PicnicGuillaume Moubeche aka The CEO of The Friendliest Cold Email Tool In The GameWho's that peeping in my inbox?

...2020-01-2700 minThe Marketing PicnicRuss Johns aka Gandalf The White of Lead GenerationI was so ashamed, here I was, looking at the replay of me interviewing a marketing legend. A man who's been actively marketing since before the internet.
Someone with true skill lead nurturing.
He was spitting fire from the first second, answering every question with skill, finesse, and clarity. Russ was a real champ.
However, I looked distracted and disrespectful.
What you can't see in the Live stream is the number of technical difficulties we had. It was so bad that I had to use my laptop as a...2020-01-2400 minThe Marketing PicnicDylan Hey aka The Guy Who Pissed Me Off Once With a Post About "Stealing Your Competitor’s Customers"We're here with top 50 UK SaaS Sales leader, aka Top 15 podcast host AKA THE GINGER BEARD EVANGELIST HIMSELF.

"7 secrets to growth hacking your broccoli soup"
You might have clicked on links like that before. And it might have changed your life. Or it might have been a disappointment.
BUT, chances are, you still don't really know what a "growth hacker" is.
Do they actually hack stuff? Are they criminals? Do all of them have fluffy hair?
Well, you're about to find out. Because our next guest, Ricardo, is a purebred growth hacker.

Matter of fact, I've accused myself of using the Picnic as a cheap excuse to hang out with hard to reach people.
I've spent the whole week applying some techniques I learned from Lila Smith last week.
Every week I learn. And I'm, sure this week won't be any different.
So, what about Jeannette? What do I like about her so much?
I could start with...2020-01-2000 minThe Marketing PicnicDaniel Bechsgaard aka The Guy Who Made $70/h 3 Months After Starting To Freelance.You guys are not gonna believe what you're hearing on this one. Daniel is the king of making money online and I'm stoked that I can introduce him to you guys.
