The Carnage Podcast

Dave Graham is the store manager at Lululemon in Pittsburgh, PA. Lululemon sets themselves apart in traditional retail by creating a unique experience for their customers. In my conversation with Dave, we discuss how brick and mortar is evolving, creating a killer experience for your customers and management styles.

Michelle Sharp is the marketing director at Cotton Bureau. Since it's inception, Cotton Bureau has sold over 300,000 shirts. Their platform makes it easy for designers to share and sell their designs. Michelle and her team recently launched Blank, a size inclusive t-shirt made in the USA.

Welcome to the Carnage podcast, where we interview some of today’s most savy marketers, creatives and founders. Today's guest is Rachel Reid. Rachel is the founder of Subtl Beauty. Subtl Beauty is a line of makeup products for on the-go-lifestyles. The product consists of a compact stacking system that can hold full size makeup products. The beauty of it is…. it fits in the palm of your hand. Rachel and her team recently launched a kickstarter and raised over 10k in just 52 hours. Rachel and I discuss a variety of topics including: how to validate an idea, when the right time to jump is and much more.

Social listening has become another one of those buzzwords marketers love to use. Sandra Chung from Mention helps us distill this topic into something that makes sense for every listener, whether you're just getting into marketing, or you've been at it for years.

Why investing time, money, and energy are necessary to achieve results.

If you were lucky enough to attend the 2018 Yearly Carnage event, you most likely noticed that the speaker lineup was diverse. Our goal was to avoid creating yet another boring hotel banquet hall marketing conference. One of the speakers that fell outside of the typical marketing persona was designer and typographer Daniel Gurwin. We had a ton of positive feedback about his talk and felt the need to bring him back to open up the hood on his process. In this episode of the Carnage Podcast, Dan provides some clarity regarding brand identity and also reveals why selecting a designer based on accountability is far more critical than an hourly rate. Our in-house designer, Maggie Cook, joins us to ask a few design-centric questions that provide value to fostering a better client/designer relationship. Danny is a Pittsburgh native, so we’re a bit partial, but the podcast is insightful for marketers and creatives alike. Enjoy! Full show notes here: https://carney.co/you-are-not-your-logo/
