    1. Where AI is going
    2. The old way of marketing
    3. How AI will change marketing
    4. What you can do about it
    5. My five AI promises

  • S2E7: Low-Fi Content Featuring Jordan Ogren
    Feb 22 2024

    Watch this episode on YouTube 👉 https://youtu.be/vnzUZtGDA98


    We have a misconception about content.

    We also have the same one for life.


    We believe we need to craft perfect experiences for meaningful connections.


    We have the same belief about content. To "add value," we need to spend significant time and energy on it and have it be "exceptional."


    There is truth in that: spending time on highly produced content rewards your audience.


    And there is truth in this: Your audience is human and can get value from imperfect (aka human) content.


    To avoid running out of energy with your content, you need to overcome this belief by supplementing your high quality content with low-fi content.


    Here is what you will learn from this episode:

    • What low-fi content is and isn't
    • How to balance this through the PESO model
    • What low-fi content looks like
    • How you can use it on different channels
