As Marketing Manager at Terrain Tamer 4WD, Brent Hutchinson’s aim is to make every advertising dollar return multiples. And that’s exactly what he’s doing. In this interview, you’ll hear how Brent’s turned a magazine advertising spend with Australia’s leading 4WD magazine in to a video marketing strategy in which the magazine needs him more than he needs the magazine. This is a great exercise in developing an emotional attachment with your audience and building a strong, energetic brand.

Tim,
This is Joe. Thanks for addressing my question on your podcast. You had some good advice on escaping from the golden handcuffs and striking out on my own. I hope to have a follow up comment in the near future telling your about my success!
I’m taking the “work two jobs” approach right now. Not ideal but I’m not quite ready to take the plunge.
I already have had some success on my site NewCustomerWorkshop.com and have written for other blogs such as Problogger so I feel like I’m on the right track.
Can’t wait for the next episode.
Regards,
Joe
