Growing your business and want expert guidance (without the price tag of an agency)? Check out our DIY workshops. You’ll learn how to apply the right marketing strategies for your business and take it to the next level: https://mybworkshops.com.au/In this episode of Marketing Your Brand, host Peggy Worrell dives into the reality of today’s “trust recession,” where only 34% of consumers globally trust the brands they buy from. She explains why traditional tactics like hype and urgency are losing their impact, and how modern consumers, especially the “quiet watchers” who engage less but still absorb, are prioritising value, reliability, and alignment. Peggy shares how to shift your focus from vanity metrics to meaningful ones like watch time and conversions, and how to build trust through brand storytelling, trust signals, and educational content that nurtures rather than pushes. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the current marketing landscape, this episode is your reminder that trust, not clicks, is the strategy that lasts.
