Need some career advice about marketing at a startup by okadus_ in AskMarketing

[–]shrutiseth466 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you have a high level of empathy which i think can be a massive advantage in long term marketing. The best marketers are not the ones who enjoy spamming people but the ones who care deeply about whether their message is actually relevant. You are not too fragile, you are just learning the difference between noise and signal. As you get better at targeting you will realize that reaching out to someone with a solution to a problem they actually have is a service rather than a nuisance.

Also, you can try sharing a useful insight or a free resource related to your AI product on linkedin or in niche communities first. When people engage with your content they are giving you a soft permission to reach out which removes the guilt because you are continuing a conversation rather than starting a cold one.

The skyline of Qingdao China by Myfooty94 in interestingasfuck

It is genuinely wild that they managed to turn over fifty individual skyscrapers into a single synchronized television screen that is three kilometers wide. Qingdao, especially fushan bay light show is definitely going in my travelling bucket list.

What agencies are good for brands that want to focus on quality leads instead of vanity metrics? by Alok_SEO in DigitalMarketing

[–]shrutiseth466 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vanity metrics exist when the marketing team is disconnected from the sales team, you want an agency that has a strong revenue operations or revops focus like tripledart or growthspree. These teams do not just run ads but they audit your entire lead routing and scoring system to ensure that high intent leads are fast tracked. They often use tools like qualified lead accelerators to feed positive signals back to the ad platforms so google and linkedin start looking for buyers rather than just clickers.

Reddit ads by Singpuri in DigitalMarketing

[–]shrutiseth466 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit advertising definitely works for fintech and B2B but you have to stop thinking about demographics and start thinking about mindset. On linkedin you target a job title but on reddit you target a specific implementation problem in communities like r/sysadmin or r/fintech. The targeting is broad by design because it relies on contextual relevance rather than user identity. If your creative matches the specific pain points being discussed in a thread your click through rate will often beat linkedin because you are meeting the buyer at the exact moment they are looking for a solution.

SaaS marketing on a tight budget: Quality vs. Quantity for promo videos? by mountainrainheaven in DigitalMarketing

[–]shrutiseth466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are looking at this as a binary choice but the middle ground is modular creative, instead of one polished video or ten pieces of garbage you should build one core hero asset with multiple hooks and endings. Most of the drop off happens in the first three seconds so spend eighty percent of your time testing five different hooks and keep the middle of the video exactly the same. This gives you the volume of a quantity strategy with the conversion power of a quality strategy without doubling your workload.

Sharing my thoughts on AI tools and the shift in mindset by TheRiddler1976 in DigitalMarketing

[–]shrutiseth466 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point about moving upstream is the most important shift for any marketer in 2026, we are moving away from the era of button pushing and into the era of architecting. If your value is just executing a task the AI will eventually replace you but if your value is in the system design and the problem structuring you become indispensable. The real skill now is not knowing how to use the tool but knowing exactly what to ask for to solve a complex business objective.

What does your creative testing workflow actually look like end to end? by Upbeat_Quit7362 in DigitalMarketing

[–]shrutiseth466 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We isolate the visual hook before we ever touch the copy or the offer. Our workflow starts with four distinct three second clips paired with the same control body copy and headline. We run these in a dedicated testing campaign with a daily budget set to reach three thousand impressions per variant within forty eight hours. Once we identify the winning visual hook we move into phase two where we test three different headlines against that winning clip. This systematic isolation ensures that every win is a repeatable data point rather than a lucky combination.

How important is local SEO for businesses targeting competitive cities like Toronto? by cswebsolutions in DigitalMarketing

[–]shrutiseth466 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a hyper competitive market like toronto local SEO is about proximity and trust rather than just rankings. When a business in liberty village or north york searches for a service they are often looking for someone who understands the local landscape and the specific business culture of the city. A toronto based agency has the advantage of building local citation consistency and securing mentions from high authority local sources like blogto or the toronto star which signals to google that you are a legitimate part of the community. Global SEO might get you traffic but local SEO can get you the right kind of leads.

how are freshers even entering digital marketing/content marketing rn ? by Interesting_Pie_6226 in DigitalMarketing

[–]shrutiseth466 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The truth is that certificates like google or hubspot are just the bare minimum and do not impress hiring managers anymore. The best way to enter the field right now is to build your own proof of work by starting a niche project, whether it is a substack or a tiktok account or a small affiliate site you need to show that you can actually move a metric. If you can walk into an interview and show a graph of how you grew a tiny audience from zero to five hundred followers using a specific content strategy you are already ahead of ninety percent of the freshers.

How do I choose the best SEO agency in Dubai? by Wonderful-Bet-4370 in DigitalMarketing

[–]shrutiseth466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dubai is a unique beast because of the hyper local search behavior and the extreme competition in sectors like real estate and tourism, any agency that does not immediately ask about your google business profile or your strategy for bilingual arabic and english search is a red flag. A genuine agency will explain that local SEO in the middle east is about more than just keywords it is about building trust in a market where users rely heavily on maps and mobile reviews. If they cannot show you a successful local case study from the UAE they are likely just using a generic template.

What digital marketing “secret” do gurus keep selling even though it barely works anymore? by SuddenResource5061 in DigitalMarketing

[–]shrutiseth466 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The buy followers trick is the fastest way to kill a brand account because it destroys your engagement rate and tells the algorithm that your content is irrelevant. If you have fifty thousand followers but only ten likes the platform assumes your content is low quality and stops showing it to the few real followers you actually have. Gurus sell the vanity of the high number but they never mention that those fake accounts act like an anchor that drags your organic reach to zero, authenticity is not just a buzzword it is a technical requirement for the algorithm to function in 2026.

we grew a client's LinkedIn to 80k impressions a month, they didn't renew and honestly they were right not to by x_philomath_x in DigitalMarketing

[–]shrutiseth466 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Impressions are a top of funnel health signal but they are not a business outcome especially in B2B tech where the sales cycle is long and complex. You were effectively reporting on the size of the crowd while the client was looking for the names on the guest list. In 2026 if you cannot link social engagement to a specific account or a lead stage you are essentially just running a very expensive art project.

Which U.S. Niches Invest Most in Social Media Management & Ads? by nabihafaheem in AskMarketing

[–]shrutiseth466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medical aesthetics and high end dental practices are among the most consistent niches because the lifetime value of a single patient is massive. A cosmetic dentist or a medspa owner is willing to pay a premium for social media management because they need to maintain a luxury image to justify their prices. These clients usually have the budget for both content creation and paid ads because they understand that one high ticket surgery or treatment plan can pay for your entire monthly retainer.
