The ever-changing world of content marketing requires innovative techniques that truly connect with your target audience. But how can you do this effectively? Hmmm… It's important to understand your target audience on a deeper cultural and psychological level. And that's where anthropological concepts come in, offering insights into both the general human experience and the unique elements that shape specific audience segments.



In this remarkable episode with the rather groovy Matt Artz, explains how understanding and applying anthropology can drive your content marketing. Matt shares his incredible knowledge on understanding customer needs, providing value to them, his thoughts on AI-generated content, and applying anthropology to learn more about user behavior so you're able to create truly engaging content that aligns with your audience's core values, beliefs, and motivations.



As always, the show ends with passing the baton…Matt delightfully passes the virtual baton to next week’s wonderful guest, Anika Jackson.
