One of the top-three podcast episodes we've ever published was a 2020 study revealing the tactics sales teams need to adopt to approach shippers. The reason this episode was so popular is that it's one of the few resources carriers and brokers have with communication and marketing preferences straight from the mouths of 100 shippers. The study by Logistics Marketing Advisors is released every two years so in today's episode, we're reviewing allllllll the things brokers and carriers need to be aware of as they set up their sales and marketing initiatives. Logistics Marketing Advisors 2022 Report (pdf)Hubspot 2022 State of Marketing Trends (pdf)Everything is Logistics is hosted by Blythe Brumleve, founder of Digital Dispatch where we help freight companies get online and grow.

The Transportation Marketing and Sales Association held its annual conference in early June so after attending, I thought I'd share some of my top takeaways from talking to everyone from CMO's to the front-line marketers.

But everything from the location to the conversations blew me away.  I don't feel like I'm so alone as a freight marketer anymore and that is exactly what the TMSA provides--a community to build your personal brand and learn what works for other companies in hopes it might work for yours, too. Digital Dispatch helps the one-person marketing team flourish.

One of the more fascinating areas of freight is covering the crime aspect. Just think of hit shows and movies--you tend to notice most of the crime is being committed around a port, using semi-trucks, and sometimes, getting caught in the process. But how do you stop cargo crime from ever happening to begin with? By using intelligent analytics and analysts to manage risk mitigation. And that's exactly what Karin Stevens, EVP, Chief Marketing and Product at Overhaul is telling us about on today's show.Connect with Karin Stevens on LinkedInCheck out the Overhaul websiteDigital Dispatch helps the one-person marketing team flourish.
