Interview format
This will be an audio and video interview that will be published to podcasting platforms, my website, my email newsletter, and possibly to YouTube/Vimeo and social media platforms like LinkedIn.
Before we start recording, we’ll spend a few minutes chatting so I can get to know your background a little. At the start of the interview, I’ll ask about your background and a few follow up questions based on that. Then, we will move on to the main question for the episode (highlighted below).
This will be a pretty relaxed, free-flowing conversation. I will guide things along with some of the questions listed below if the conversation strays too far off topic.
There’s no set time for how long the interview will be, but I expect it to wrap up within 20-60 minutes. At the end, I’ll ask for a summary of step-by-step practical advice that others could use to implement your idea. I’ll also give you the opportunity to spotlight your work or promote your company.
Example Questions
- Tell me about why you got into marketing / founding your company?
- What is a marketing campaign or tactic you implemented that you believe had a significant social impact?
- How did you come up with this campaign or tactic?
- What challenges was your company/team facing before you all implemented this campaign or arrived at this insight?
- What were the results after you implemented this new idea?
- How do you ensure that your marketing strategies align with your company’s social responsibility goals?
- How do you ensure your marketing practices adhere to ethical standards, and how do you communicate this to your customers?
- How has focusing on social impact and sustainability influenced your company’s brand image and customer relationships?
- What step-by-step advice would you give to other marketers or business leaders in order to implement a similar campaign?
- What pitfalls might other people come across if they try to implement this?
- What are your tips to make sure these steps are successful?
- Time to shine a spotlight on you – any projects you’re working on, anything you’d like people to know, and anywhere you’d like people to get in touch with you?
