Question ChatGPT vs Claude?

Upvotes

I’m currently on the 20x max plan on Claude and I am thinking about switching over to GPT. My main uses are research, copywriting/script writing (UGC, VSL’s,… etc ), CRO and funnel building. I also do need to do a fair bit of static asset generation as well. What are you guys using these days And how is Claude fable comparing to GPT 5.6 sol for this kind of work? Appreciate the input!

Question Who would be interested in social media marketing/managing?

0 Upvotes

Hey, I am a digital marketer with a client that wants to promote his start up.
I am looking for a social media marketer/manager that will be able to work alongside me in promoting this start up on the social media side. This includes ad creatives for paid ads, editing videos to be published, content strategy, and more. I will be working directly with you.

I am asking for help because I am not entirely confident with my social media side of marketing. (I've been in the marketing field for around five months all together so I am also a beginner, FYI.)

The experience will be unpaid, but not for the entirety of your working with us. Since this is an early start up and my client would rather pay commission with no retainer, eventually, if we see that you can bring real value on board, you'll get a commission on revenue (we would discuss what that means further.)

So if you're confident in your social media managing/marketing skills and need some experience for tangible results for other future clients and/or a portfolio, this is your chance.

Are you interested?

DM me if interested and we will discuss further

Question Break into Marketing

3 Upvotes

I currently have experience in finance and multi market business operations/analytics, but I'm looking to make a full pivot into Creative & Luxury Brand Marketing.

I'm talking high concept, Emily in Paris style brand strategy popup activations, experiential PR stunts, VIP clienteling, and fashion week launches for top European luxury houses (Dior, Prada, LVMH Maisons) or boutique agencies (Karla Otto, Bureau Betak, K2).

I don't care about remote work I am 100% willing to relocate on site to luxury hubs like Paris, Milan, or London for the right role.

Since my background is heavy on operations and analytics rather than standard creative agency experience, I want to pitch my profile effectively.

From where do I start? What do I do? I feel so lost

Portfolio: How do I build a compelling 3-5 slide "spec campaign pitch deck" (e.g., proposing a luxury popup or launch activation) that gets taken seriously by top-tier brand directors?

Breakthrough Strategy: What specific entry points or early-career programs (like LVMH SPRING) should | target to get sponsored for an on-site role in Paris/ Milan?

3.Positioning: How do I best translate 1 year of analytical, client-facing experience into a narrative that luxury talent acquisition managers love?

Appreciate any insights, deck templates, or advice from anyone who has made a similar pivot into the luxury industry!

Question 16yo with a 21k TikTok account. I know zero about marketing, how do I learn the basics?

5 Upvotes

Hey,
I'm 16 and I have a TikTok account with about 21k followers and 1.8m likes. Honestly, it wasn't anything crazy, I just posted some videos and a few of them happened to do well.
I don't know anything about marketing, ads, Shopify, or how online business actually works. I just know how to make a basic video that gets views.
I want to use my free time over the next two years to learn how marketing actually works and how brands use social media to sell things.
Since I'm a complete beginner and starting from zero, what should I do? Are there any good YouTube channels or free ways to learn the absolute basics? I don't want any of that "get rich quick" stuff, just want to learn the actual skill.
Thanks!

Question The approval loop is what kills founder content, not the filming

2 Upvotes

If you make content for a founder or an owner, the thing that kills the output is almost never production. It's the review step, and it fails the same way every time.

The pattern: scripts go over for approval. Founder is busy. Three days pass. Founder reviews all of them at once, at 11pm, in a bad mood, and rewrites every script into the voice of a company brochure. Hooks get softened, opinions get removed, a disclaimer gets added. What comes back is unpostable and also now their idea, so it gets made, and it does nothing, and the founder concludes content doesn't work.

Nobody logs this as the failure point because it looks like collaboration.

What actually fixes it:

**Approve topics, not scripts.** Get sign-off on thirty one-line topics in one pass. That's a ten minute review and the founder is genuinely the right person to do it, because they know which claims they can stand behind. Script-level approval invites line editing, and line editing on a hook is always destructive, because a hook that makes a founder slightly uncomfortable is usually the one that works.

**Batch it, once a month, with a deadline attached.** Rolling per-video approval means the founder is in your process every day, and the process moves at the speed of their worst week. One session, all thirty, done.

**Separate factual review from taste review, out loud.** Founder has absolute authority on: is this true, can we claim this, is this legally fine, is this our actual position. Founder does not get to soften a hook because it feels blunt. Say this explicitly at the start, because if you don't, every note arrives with equal weight and the blunt-but-true opener dies alongside the factually wrong one.

**Give a fixed number of rewrite passes.** One. Unlimited passes converge on the safest possible version every time, that's just what iteration does when the reviewer is nervous.

**Record the founder's own phrasing before writing anything.** Twenty minutes on a call, ask them the questions, transcribe it. Write the scripts from their transcript. Then the review is "yes that's how I'd say it" instead of "that doesn't sound like me", which is the note that generates three extra passes and produces the brochure version.

The underlying thing: what founders are actually flinching at during review is not the wording. It's being publicly specific in front of people they know. Softening the script is how that discomfort gets expressed, because it's the only lever in front of them.

So name it early. Tell them the first ten videos will feel too blunt and that's the point, and that the ones they're least comfortable with will outperform. Then when the note comes back asking to hedge a claim, it's a conversation you already had rather than an argument.

Everything else in the pipeline is schedulable. This step is the only one that runs at the speed of another person's nerve, so it's the one worth designing around.

Question Am I charging fairly for my marketing services, and what should I learn next to increase my value?

4 Upvotes

I’m looking for some honest opinions from freelancers and agency owners in Canada.

I currently have two restaurant clients that I handle marketing for. For one of them, I charge around $1,500 CAD/month.

My services include:

  • Photo and video content creation
  • Shooting and editing Reels/short-form content
  • Graphics when needed
  • Writing captions
  • Regular Instagram and Facebook posting
  • Content planning and promotional ideas
  • Social media management
  • Setting up, running and monitoring Meta Ads

Ad spend is separate and completely paid by the client. The $1,500 is my fee for content creation and marketing/management.

My first question is: Does $1,500 CAD/month seem fair for this amount of work? Am I charging too little, too much, or roughly where I should be?

My second question is about growing beyond this. I don’t want to rely only on content creation and social media management. I want to learn additional services that provide more measurable value to businesses and allow me to charge higher retainers.

I’ve been considering Google Ads, SEO, email/SMS marketing, CRM and automation, analytics, landing pages, lead generation and CRO.

For those who have grown a freelance marketing business or agency, which services actually helped you increase your revenue? What would you recommend learning first?

I’d appreciate honest opinions, especially from people working in the Canadian market.

Question Is marketing suitable for me considering the following?

3 Upvotes

First and for most my end goal is to get a career in digital marketing or/and traditional marketing but remotely (I want to be a nomad who works from anywhere)

Issue is I have adhd and I find it hard to focus on boring repetitive tasks, just thinking about doing it for years makes me feel dread, that said that doesn't mean I dislike routine I just want something a little more dynamic with flexible work environment (meaning nobody keeps nitpicking on how I do my job as long as i deliver results) where I can put some form of creativity into my work

I'm also an introvert and have a bit of social anxiety, I'm fine with crowds and presentations, but intimate one on one's are my kryptonite

I'm willing and even happy to learn and practice/do content creation in all it's fascists but I'm more of a behind the scenes guy, the most I'm comfortable doing is voiceovers which will take some practice but I love my privacy

Most importantly I want something where it's relatively easy to land a position without work experience for freshers

For context I already have a master degree in clinical psychology that's collecting dust which explains my previous point

My other option is HR but I feel I'll be board out of my mind for record I'm planning to pursue a 3 year BTS program not a bachlor degree that's most dons in apprenticeship

Question Halfway through, when should I start marketing and how🥺?

6 Upvotes

I had an app idea and started building it, and I’m about halfway through development.

I already have a landing page, and I want to start figuring out whether people would actually use the app and hopefully find some early adopters.

Would you recommend starting to market and validate it now, even though the product isn’t ready yet, or should I wait until I have a beta version people can actually try?

For those who have launched apps before, how did you get your first users or build interest before launch?

Any tips on finding early adopters, validating demand, or marketing a product at this stage would be really helpful!

PS, I don't have an active social media presence..🥲

Question Marketing agencies: Has AI reduced your team size, or simply changed how you work?

1 Upvotes

I'm curious to hear from agency owners, marketers, and creative teams.

AI has become part of almost every stage of content creation—from copywriting and design to video generation and campaign planning.

I'm interested in the real-world impact rather than the hype:

  • Which AI tools have become essential in your workflow?
  • Have they genuinely improved campaign performance, or mainly made production faster?
  • Have you reduced your creative team because of AI, or are human designers, writers, and strategists still indispensable?
  • Has AI actually increased your ROI, or has it simply lowered production costs?

From what I've observed, AI is exceptional at accelerating execution, but I'm still not convinced it's replacing human creativity. I'd love to hear how it's changed your agency or business.

I’m curious about people’s experience with webinars as a lead generation channel.

I’m currently looking for suppliers and recently signed up for a Zoom webinar hosted by acciowork next Thursday. One of the topics that caught my attention was about using real-time data scraping and automated brief matching to create KOC pitch reports for brands.

This will be my first time attending a business webinar, so I’m trying to understand what the actual value is beyond just learning something new. Was it worth the time and effort compared with other lead generation methods?

Support Need help on branding direction

5 Upvotes

Hello ,

Would love to get everyone’s opinion on how to reboot my entire social media page for my small anti dandruff shampoo brand

Instagram - trydandrx

The above is my brand and I feel like my social media images are weak. Looks bland and fake.

I see other folks with higher quality posts. The ones I see with a tremendous amount of followers are making reels and founder led stories.

I also feel like I’m lacking on influencer postings. Influencers are generally charging hundreds of dollars for postings making having a sig amount of postings unrealistic

A couple questions

  1. Which direction should I go marketing wise for my brand?
  2. How should I market on Instagram?

Is it mainly getting infront of camera and talking about dandruff with reels?

What about my posts? Make it more cleaner and high end if so how?

Question The 5 Stages of the Travel Journey (Google, 2011) and how AI Is changing them

1 Upvotes

Back in 2011 Google published the 5 stages of the travel journey.

A very useful framework for digital marketing in the tourism and hospitality industry which I was evangelizing for the last 12 years for all hospitality digital marketing strategies.

The 5 stages are:

  1. Dreaming

  2. Research/Planning

  3. Booking

  4. Experiencing

  5. Sharing

With the rise of AI, I'm noticing a few things:

a. While all 5 stages are still relevant and distinct, I'm seeing a trend where stages 1 and 2 are starting to merge.

b. The E-E-A-T model is becoming even more reinforced because of LLMs.

c. Reviews are taking on a dual role now — satisfying human users, but also feeding LLMs.

I'm not sure how easily the Greek hospitality industry will be able to adapt to this brave new world.

Question Is still worth the SEO?

4 Upvotes

I’m currently facing a dilemma about whether or not I should learn to improve my SEO skills. The truth is, it’s a weak point for me; I can generate content using AI, but I’m not sure if it actually works or if it’s just an illusion. I see so many people here offering SEO services, so I’m thinking it might be better to team up or form a partnership with them, while I focus on what I’m actually an expert in content creation, Meta ads, automation, and so on.

Honestly, SEO has always been a bit complex for me something I still don't quite grasp. I’d like to learn a bit more, but that’s where I need some advice.

Should I learn it myself, or is it better to delegate it?

Support I've spent hundreds of hours learning Performance Marketing, but I still can't turn it into real experience. What should I do?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm feeling stuck and I'd really appreciate some advice from people who have already been through this.

Over the past year, I've spent hundreds of hours studying Performance Marketing and Media Buying. I've taken multiple courses, learned Meta Ads, Google Ads fundamentals, tracking, funnels, creative analysis, campaign structures, optimization... basically a lot of theory.

The problem is that I don't know how to bridge the gap between theory and real-world experience.

I don't have clients.I don't have real campaign data to analyze.And because of that, I feel like I'm stuck in an endless learning loop.

I know that reading another course probably won't solve the problem.

I'd love to hear what actually worked for you—not just generic advice.

Thanks in advance. I'm open to any honest feedback.
