Episode description

If your marketing isn't working, it's probably because you're not talking about the right problem. Most businesses struggle to identify the most compelling issue their customer is trying to solve. They either talk about too many things or pick a problem that's too vague. When that happens, customers stop listening. But when you finally address the problem that makes your customers say "yep, that's me!", sales start to climb. That's what Airbnb just nailed with their new messaging campaign. So, how do you figure out the exact problem your business solves in a way that drives real results? In this episode, Don and Kyle break down Airbnb's latest messaging campaign and why it hits the mark so effectively. They unpack the brilliance behind how Airbnb redefined the problem it solves and how you can apply the same strategy to your own business. You'll learn a simple way to clarify the problem your customer actually cares about and how to build an effective messaging campaign around it.
