Hosted by Taylor Marks, each episode explores modern marketing through the lens of today's AI-driven landscape, including content creation, messaging, buyer psychology, funnels, launches, offer strategy, and audience growth. This is not a podcast about becoming an AI expert or replacing human teams with bots. Instead, Pretty Smart Marketing focuses on helping real business owners market more effectively in a world where AI is changing how businesses create, communicate, and sell. Each week, Taylor shares practical strategies, proven frameworks, behind-the-scenes experiments, and open, honest conversations about what's working right now - not last year. AI is changing the way we run our businesses, but when it comes to good marketing? There's no replacement for tried and tested, real-world data. Pretty Smart Marketing combines the two.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T00:18:25.621694+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pretty-smart-marketing-7505299"},"episode":{"title":"25 | We’re Leaving Social Media (Gasp!): Why We’re Doing It, What We’re Building Instead, and Why It Could Work for You Too","slug":"25-we-re-leaving-social-media-gasp-why-we-re-doing-it-what-we-re-building-instead-and-why-it-could-work-for-you-too","published_at":"2026-03-24T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pretty-smart-marketing-7505299/25-we-re-leaving-social-media-gasp-why-we-re-doing-it-what-we-re-building-instead-and-why-it-could-work-for-you-too","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pretty-smart-marketing-7505299","url":"https://launchconfidential.com/post/25-were-leaving-social-media-gasp-why-were-doing-it-what-were-building-instead-and-why-it-could-work-for-you-too","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/98db204d-0e1e-4143-80c3-30d3a9a14eac.mp3","summary":"What happens when a visibility strategy starts asking for more than it gives back?
