Viewed by many as the OG of Social Media Marketing, Jon Loomer is one of our long-time loves in the marketing world!
His path to marketing was an interesting one: jumping from bartending to telemarketing to insurance sales to managing the world of fantasy games for the NBA. This was where he first dipped his toes in the Facebook marketing landscape with the creation of the official NBA Facebook group in 2007. In 2011 he decided to take the leap of creating his own site, jonloomer.com, and in the time since it’s become a mecca for Facebook marketers to get the latest tips, tricks, and hot takes on what’s going on in the Metaverse.
Not only does he send out one of the few e-blasts that we actually read religiously, thanks to its brief, to-the-point content, but he also gives you a TON of ways to consume his content: perfect for us multi-tasking marketers! Mr. Loomer is constantly creating content for Youtube, Facebook, his private Facebook group for marketers, TikTok, his always-educational Pubcast podcast, and he even offers classes and an exclusive membership for even more in-depth insights and coaching sessions.
Margo Aaron – That Seems Important / Akimbo / Brainstorm Road
When you’re feeling like the marketing world is full of slimy, sleazy, and downright scammy vibes, Margo Aaron is who you need to restore your faith in humanity.
A psychological researcher turned marketing and copywriting guru, Margo’s whole methodology is based on using ethical and honest copywriting instead of manipulation in your marketing efforts to get folks to actually care about what you have to say. In one of her AdWorld 2022 talk tracks, she pitched it like this: when someone has a problem and you have the solution, your message isn’t annoying but can be the trigger they needed to take action to solve their problem. When you look at your marketing efforts as a way to solve problems for your market instead of simply a way to get a buck, you’re doing it right.
Want to know our favorite quote from her? “The best copy is invisible. It blends into the conversation happening in the mind of your customer & inspires them to act – not to see the copy but to take the ACTION.” If that doesn’t get you feeling all warm and fuzzy about revamping your marketing efforts, I don’t know what will!
