The Taylor Swift School of Heart Marketing
Taylor Swift is the talented 25-year-old entertainer and bombshell who continues to be the subject of thousands of stories, blog posts, news reports, videos, social media posts, images, TV specials, and that’s not even counting her music!
Jayme Soulati and John Gregory Olson, hosts of The Heart Of Marketing podcast, selected Taylor Swift as the topic of their debut episode not only because of her performing pizzazz, but also for her heart. She shows her love to concert fans by flashing them the heart sign using two fingers from each hand. And they flash her back!
To summarize: Taylor Swift is a brand influencer, category leader, champion, smart businesswoman and a smarter marketer.
What is Taylor Swift doing that turns actions into revenue?
John and Jayme explore her constant accessibility, her vulnerability, her fans-first mentality, the human touch of her brand persona, and the incredible connectivity she has with her fans on social media and in real life.
As Taylor grows, we watch her share her failures, become the butt of jokes, and still rise above it all to prove her naysayers wrong. This in the midst of switching music genre, uprooting herself to New York City, and becoming a musical force in front of our eyes.
The Heart of The Matter
To wrap up the Taylor Swift brand into a bite-sized portion for mid-tier marketers, Jayme and John explore how companies can Taylorize their marketing.
● Should your CEO be as accessible to customers as Taylor Swift is to her fans?
● Creating a likeable, credible brand by listening and responding to customers
● How transparency wins loyal customers
● Telling a brand story that resonates with your audience
We like our first episode a lot, and we hope you will, too.
