I’m Ben Amos and I’m on a mission to grow confident video strategists.

00:00:29,157 –> 00:00:36,620

 So today’s episode is basically a masterclass in one of the most powerful marketing strategies that businesses can use today.

 

11

00:00:36,620 –> 00:00:40,742

And my guest, well, she wrote the book about it.

 

12

00:00:40,742 –> 00:00:42,443

We’re talking partnerships.

 

13

00:00:42,443 –> 00:00:46,445

And I know there are going to be a few ideas sparked as we learn more today.

 

14

00:00:47,723 –> 00:00:50,885

 Therese Tarlington is the partnerships queen.

 

15

00:00:50,885 –> 00:00:58,349

When interesting companies want to expand their audience, increase their credibility, and make a bigger profit, they come to her.

 

16

00:00:58,349 –> 00:01:05,313

Therese knows how to speak to brands to secure collaborations, contras, partnerships, and sponsors so that they can grow.

 

17

00:01:05,313 –> 00:01:14,218

See, early in her career, she convinced Jeep, Sesame Street, and United Colors of Benetton to become licensing partners and manufacture under their brands.

 

18

00:01:15,058 –> 00:01:19,802

 using the power of partnerships to therefore create a global business.

 

19

00:01:19,802 –> 00:01:28,209

She wrote her first book, Swap, Marketing Without Money, to help brands secure partnerships, sharing all her best secrets in that book.

 

20

00:01:28,209 –> 00:01:31,912

So we’re going to be talking today about partnerships of all types,

 

21

00:01:32,412 –> 00:01:40,356

 from big brand deals right down all the way down to collaborations with businesses in your local network.

 

22

00:01:40,356 –> 00:01:42,837

So there’s something in this episode for everyone.

 

23

00:01:42,837 –> 00:01:50,661

So without further ado, let’s just dive in and let me introduce you to Therese Tarlington.

 

24

00:01:50,661 –> 00:01:53,302

Therese, welcome to the podcast.

 

25

00:01:53,302 –> 00:01:54,062

Thank you, Ben.

 

26

00:01:54,062 –> 00:01:55,723

It’s such a great pleasure to be here.

 

27

00:01:56,486 –> 00:01:58,748

 Well, I’m glad that you decided to join us.

 

28

00:01:58,748 –> 00:02:06,536

We actually met in person recently at Kate Toon’s event down in Sydney, which we had Kate on the show probably a handful of weeks back.

 

29

00:02:06,536 –> 00:02:10,641

So for those who listened to that episode, that’s what brought us together, Therese.

 

30

00:02:10,641 –> 00:02:13,464

And you told me a little bit about what you do, and I thought that’s

 

31

00:02:14,572 –> 00:02:22,281

 really interesting and I know my audience is going to be interested in hearing what you have to share as well and you’ve written the book about it as I mentioned in the introduction.

 

32

00:02:22,281 –> 00:02:29,710

But before we get into talking about partnerships in marketing, I’d love to know what got you into marketing and maybe tell us a little bit of your story.

 

33

00:02:29,710 –> 00:02:30,752

Fantastic.

 

34

00:02:31,538 –> 00:02:35,924

 So Ben, I started out in marketing a really long time ago.

 

35

00:02:35,924 –> 00:02:40,249

So I was one of these lucky people who actually found my craft quite early.

 

36

00:02:40,249 –> 00:02:46,417

I went and studied marketing and then started working in marketing while I was at uni.

 

37

00:02:47,582 –> 00:02:53,246

 And in that journey, it was, you know, really early.

 

38

00:02:53,246 –> 00:03:00,332

One of my first marketing jobs was actually at Phillips and they created the CD-R, the recordable CD.

 

39

00:03:00,332 –> 00:03:05,356

I mean, gosh, that’s like a thousand years ago, right?

 

40

00:03:05,356 –> 00:03:09,099

And through that, I fell in love with product marketing.

 

41

00:03:09,099 –> 00:03:10,680

It’s something that I really enjoy.

 

42

00:03:11,864 –> 00:03:35,465

 And from that, I had an idea about having my own business and I started manufacturing products overseas as well, which was an amazing journey where I really kind of found, which we’ll talk about, but I found my passion for partnerships because I was able to do licensing deals that really helped me elevate and propel my business into quite a few countries.

 

43

00:03:36,595 –> 00:03:52,902

 So since I’ve sold that company and I work with a lot of different kind of business owners, and so my passion is really about crafting people’s stories, like why we buy from people we know, like and trust.

 

44

00:03:54,061 –> 00:03:57,764

 and brands to me are just, you know, people.

 

45

00:03:57,764 –> 00:04:09,972

There’s people behind those brands and I really want to make sure that they come alive and also that it’s, you know, it’s hard out there so to actually collaborate together.

 

46

00:04:09,972 –> 00:04:16,557

But for me this has really been, marketing has been my discipline, my professional craft,

 

47

00:04:17,320 –> 00:04:21,302

 But it’s also been a really big passion of mine as well.

 

48

00:04:21,302 –> 00:04:28,907

And so I’ve been able to work for some really big global companies and then work in my own companies to actually build this career.

 

49

00:04:29,714 –> 00:04:30,374

 Yeah, awesome.

 

50

00:04:30,374 –> 00:04:31,195

Thanks for sharing.

 

51

00:04:31,195 –> 00:04:41,422

So you mentioned there, you know, partnerships and initially the licensing deals that you got with your earlier businesses.

 

52

00:04:41,422 –> 00:04:49,227

And when was it in your story that you realized that this idea of partnerships in business or in marketing was so powerful?

 

53

00:04:49,227 –> 00:04:53,170

Can you take us back to that time and maybe that realization that you had at that time?

 

54

00:04:54,020 –> 00:04:55,380

 Yeah, sure Ben.

 

55

00:04:55,380 –> 00:05:12,584

So for me it was, I saw a product, it was a Jeep, as in Jeep the vehicle, had done a collaboration with Colcraft and Colcraft is a really huge manufacturer of baby products in the US.

 

56

00:05:12,584 –> 00:05:16,905

And so together they had created a Jeep baby stroller.

 

57

00:05:17,911 –> 00:05:28,115

 Now, I didn’t have kids yet, but I saw this product which combined my two loves, which was branding and babies.

 

58

00:05:28,115 –> 00:05:33,737

And at that stage, there wasn’t any branded baby products in the Australian marketplace.

 

59

00:05:33,737 –> 00:05:40,840

So I convinced Colcraft to give me the rights to sell the product in Australia.

 

60

00:05:42,455 –> 00:05:57,959

 And it was, I bought the product in and I did kind of my first collaboration, my first partnership, unbeknownst to me, when I took the sample into Jeep, the head office in Australia, and I showed them the Jeep baby stroller.

 

61

00:05:57,959 –> 00:06:02,020

And I met with the PR manager who was just about to go on maternity leave.

 

62

00:06:02,020 –> 00:06:05,040

And she turned around to me and she said, I love these.

 

63

00:06:05,040 –> 00:06:06,781

These are fantastic.

 

64

00:06:06,781 –> 00:06:11,602

How about I do your PR and you give me a stroller?

 

65

00:06:13,117 –> 00:06:16,118

 And I said, oh my gosh, yes, that would be great.

 

66

00:06:16,118 –> 00:06:17,719

I would love to do that.

 

67

00:06:17,719 –> 00:06:29,084

Now, she got me in every newspaper and magazine across the country, everywhere from the Financial Review to men’s magazines, to home magazines, baby, everything in between, New Idea.

 

68

00:06:29,084 –> 00:06:36,567

And that attention got me into my first retailer, which was Target.

 

69

00:06:36,567 –> 00:06:42,529

And when the products were in Target, then I got a phone call one day, and it was from Huggies.

 

70

00:06:43,590 –> 00:06:47,433

 And so Huggies gave me a call and they said, we’ve seen your stroller.

 

71

00:06:47,433 –> 00:06:48,933

We think it’s fantastic.

 

72

00:06:48,933 –> 00:06:51,235

And it actually has given us an idea.

 

73

00:06:51,235 –> 00:07:01,161

What we want to do is put together a competition for mother and baby to win a Jeep.

 

74

00:07:01,161 –> 00:07:03,443

And what we’d love to do is work with you.

 

75

00:07:03,443 –> 00:07:09,887

If you would just give us a few prizes, a few strollers that we could give away as prizes.

 

76

00:07:10,863 –> 00:07:12,143

 then we will do everything.

 

77

00:07:12,143 –> 00:07:26,188

We will put your product on the side of every nappy box in the country, all the point of sale, we’ll take care of all the advertising, we’ll promote it out and it’s only going to cost you a few strollers.

 

78

00:07:26,188 –> 00:07:30,490

So that blew my mind and it actually blew up my business.

 

79

00:07:30,490 –> 00:07:30,610

So

 

80

00:07:31,520 –> 00:07:38,865

 I was just operating from my spare bedroom at home and that exposure won.

 

81

00:07:38,865 –> 00:07:40,726

I mean, from what is marketing?

 

82

00:07:40,726 –> 00:07:42,548

Marketing is reach.

 

83

00:07:42,548 –> 00:07:46,270

You know, marketing is credibility and it’s about differentiation.

 

84

00:07:46,270 –> 00:07:50,993

I mean, they’re the three great things about what partnerships deliver.

 

85

00:07:50,993 –> 00:07:58,058

And so it was able to deliver me this amazing reach where all of a sudden it got me in front of

 

86

00:07:59,001 –> 00:08:01,103

 you know, thousands of parents.

 

87

00:08:01,103 –> 00:08:07,708

It gave me the credibility of being united with a brand like Huggies that parents trusted.

 

88

00:08:07,708 –> 00:08:09,449

And it differentiated me.

 

89

00:08:09,449 –> 00:08:13,312

It made me stand out amongst my competitors.

 

90

00:08:13,312 –> 00:08:15,653

And you’re probably thinking, like, I don’t get it.

 

91

00:08:15,653 –> 00:08:17,775

Like, why would Huggies want to do a promotion with you?

 

92

00:08:17,775 –> 00:08:20,277

You’re like this tiny person out of your second bedroom.

 

93

00:08:21,296 –> 00:08:24,457

 And the reason is like partnerships create conversation.

 

94

00:08:24,457 –> 00:08:30,299

There’s only so many ways that Jeep, you know, sorry, that Huggies can talk about nappies, right?

 

95

00:08:30,299 –> 00:08:31,240

Yeah.

 

96

00:08:31,240 –> 00:08:41,264

So they got linked to a trending brand that was in the media, that parents were talking about, that was really topical and on trend.

 

97

00:08:41,264 –> 00:08:44,865

And I got, as I said, what I got from it, I got a whole new

 

98

00:08:45,867 –> 00:08:48,508

 round of customers who didn’t even know that I existed.

 

99

00:08:48,508 –> 00:08:53,850

And I got exposure and that helped me get into a whole lot of new retailers.

 

100

00:08:53,850 –> 00:08:59,232

So that was my first like my first big bang into partnerships.

 

101

00:08:59,232 –> 00:09:10,437

And so I was I was hooked from that moment on that power of actually working with another brand who’s got the same customer as you and creating something amazing for them.

 

102

00:09:12,083 –> 00:09:17,311

 but the brand, you know, you’re not competing, you’re just, you’re complimenting, you’re just giving the customer a better outcome.

 

103

00:09:18,155 –> 00:09:19,456

 Yeah, I love that story.

 

104

00:09:19,456 –> 00:09:32,267

Such a powerful example of exactly what we’re here to talk about today, which is the idea of tapping into those partnerships for creating marketing in a very powerful way without spending a lot of money.

 

105

00:09:32,267 –> 00:09:35,670

Your tagline or byline of your book is marketing without money.

 

106

00:09:35,670 –> 00:09:42,416

And that’s really, I think, the power of partnerships when done right.

 

107

00:09:42,416 –> 00:09:44,557

Is that right according to you?

 

108

00:09:44,557 –> 00:09:44,617

Yes.

 

109

00:09:47,078 –> 00:09:47,659

 Absolutely.

 

110

00:09:47,659 –> 00:09:49,961

And that’s the power of it.

 

111

00:09:49,961 –> 00:09:53,744

I mean, it’s almost the secret sauce in marketing.

 

112

00:09:53,744 –> 00:10:01,871

We know, I mean, even I guess right now in this marketplace, it’s all about digital, it’s all about content.

 

113

00:10:01,871 –> 00:10:09,237

And we feel like we have to be always on and always doing content, constantly creating content.

 

114

00:10:11,597 –> 00:10:22,419

 But I guess my experience from so many years of doing partnerships is that when you talk about your products, yep, kind of interesting.

 

115

00:10:22,419 –> 00:10:28,760

But when somebody else talks about your product, it’s way more powerful, right?

 

116

00:10:28,760 –> 00:10:36,661

Like we listen, we ask our friends, hey, where should I go?

 

117

00:10:36,661 –> 00:10:37,841

What restaurant should I go to?

 

118

00:10:37,841 –> 00:10:39,382

And what products should I buy?

 

119

00:10:39,382 –> 00:10:40,942

And where are you going on holidays?

 

120

00:10:41,615 –> 00:10:47,119

 And as humans, we love interacting with other people and asking for their opinions.

 

121

00:10:47,119 –> 00:11:06,371

So as a consumer, when we’re working with other brands, if another brand is saying, oh my gosh, here’s this other brand and you should totally love them and use them and like them because of all these reasons, then it just elevates that content so much further.

 

122

00:11:07,564 –> 00:11:17,112

 And, and I think for me, like I’ve done lots of collaborations where I’ve had, you know, Facebook ads that I’ve been running about a company.

 

123

00:11:17,112 –> 00:11:21,455

So for example, the company had a competition running ads about the competition.

 

124

00:11:21,455 –> 00:11:35,766

So add one and two was, uh, you know, a company that I worked with that I loved and they actually created some content and said, Hey, you should totally enter this competition.

 

125

00:11:36,762 –> 00:11:53,270

 And that ad was about 10 times more effective than my enter my competition ad because somebody else who had credibility that people loved was actually talking about, hey, you know, hey, I’ve just seen this, you should totally take a look at it.

 

126

00:11:54,353 –> 00:11:55,494

 Yeah, awesome.

 

127

00:11:55,494 –> 00:12:05,422

So when you talk about partnerships, the way you describe it there, I think there’s the potential for, for listeners to think of that like influencer marketing, right?

 

128

00:12:05,422 –> 00:12:12,907

Like, so using someone else to talk who has an audience that you want to reach to talk about your, your brand or your product.

 

129

00:12:12,907 –> 00:12:20,113

Is there a differentiation in your mind between what you refer to as partnerships and what would typically be called influencer marketing?

 

130

00:12:21,278 –> 00:12:21,638

 Yes.

 

131

00:12:21,638 –> 00:12:22,840

Great question, Ben.

 

132

00:12:22,840 –> 00:12:23,560

Absolutely.

 

133

00:12:23,560 –> 00:12:30,668

So influencer marketing, brilliant marketing campaigns, amazing.

 

134

00:12:30,668 –> 00:12:36,434

But I guess an influencer is usually a person who has influence in usually one area.

 

135

00:12:36,434 –> 00:12:41,259

So they might have an amazing Facebook following, Instagram following, TikTok following,

 

136

00:12:42,089 –> 00:12:48,994

 So they are instrumental in a certain area of creating a change or recommendations.

 

137

00:12:48,994 –> 00:12:56,640

And so they use their authority or their credibility to influence us to do something.

 

138

00:12:56,640 –> 00:13:02,244

Amazing, I’ve used influencer marketing a lot and it is brilliant.

 

139

00:13:02,244 –> 00:13:09,689

The difference between that and brand partnership marketing or strategic marketing partnership

 

140

00:13:10,543 –> 00:13:16,066

 is as a brand, we have loads of things in our toolkit.

 

141

00:13:16,066 –> 00:13:39,998

So as a brand, you might have a physical location, you would have like a database, you would have obviously social campaigns, but you could have a sales force, you could actually have accredited programs that you run within an industry, you would have leadership within maybe to meet a safety code, you have personalities within the companies, different types of staff,

 

142

00:13:42,932 –> 00:13:45,494

 specialties more so than that.

 

143

00:13:45,494 –> 00:13:58,426

So as a brand, as a company, we have a whole lot of assets that we can draw on to help our customers have a great experience.

 

144

00:13:58,426 –> 00:14:07,374

So it could be even if you were like an e-commerce company, then obviously you’ve got your website and your digital platform, but you’re physically sending out product

 

145

00:14:08,382 –> 00:14:10,143

 to ship to a customer.

 

146

00:14:10,143 –> 00:14:12,645

Those boxes are amazing real estate.

 

147

00:14:12,645 –> 00:14:17,928

Those boxes are an opportunity to do collaborations on steroids.

 

148

00:14:20,199 –> 00:14:26,561

 If you’re actually a service provider, you’re actually going out and meeting people.

 

149

00:14:26,561 –> 00:14:33,884

You might be part of amazing networks, chambers, groups, associations.

 

150

00:14:33,884 –> 00:14:36,344

You might write for magazines.

 

151

00:14:36,344 –> 00:14:44,507

You have a whole lot of credibility and assets that is not just one platform.

 

152

00:14:45,300 –> 00:15:01,688

 So when we talk about the difference between influencer and brand, brand is where I’m, you know, influencer you would usually pay for and an influencer is I will give you money and you will create content in your own voice, but talk about my product.

 

153

00:15:01,688 –> 00:15:14,895

And when we go to a brand, we say, how can we create this amazing experience for our mutual customer and use everything in our toolkit to make sure it’s amazing for that customer?

 

154

00:15:15,577 –> 00:15:15,917

 Yeah.

 

155

00:15:15,917 –> 00:15:17,757

And that’s the difference.

 

156

00:15:17,757 –> 00:15:18,698

Yeah, I love it.

 

157

00:15:18,698 –> 00:15:19,658

Nice and clear.

 

158

00:15:19,658 –> 00:15:21,018

Thanks for sharing that.

 

159

00:15:21,018 –> 00:15:28,520

In your book, you refer to three different types of partnerships that brands can take advantage of.

 

160

00:15:28,520 –> 00:15:38,982

So, can you give us a quick description of those three different types and how they’re different and maybe examples of the kinds of businesses that might use that type of partnership?

 

161

00:15:38,982 –> 00:15:39,762

Absolutely.

 

162

00:15:39,762 –> 00:15:41,182

So, there’s three main

 

163

00:15:42,077 –> 00:15:42,758

 types.

 

164

00:15:42,758 –> 00:15:50,464

The first one is when you use your product or your service and you collaborate with another brand.

 

165

00:15:50,464 –> 00:15:56,729

The second one is where you use your IP or your knowledge and you create a digital collaboration.

 

166

00:15:56,729 –> 00:16:00,512

And the third is when you create an in-person experience.

 

167

00:16:00,512 –> 00:16:03,794

So kind of product, digital, in-person.

 

168

00:16:03,794 –> 00:16:08,038

And so some examples of that would be so when you put a product

 

169

00:16:09,408 –> 00:16:12,451

 or like two products or a product and a service together.

 

170

00:16:12,451 –> 00:16:24,302

So two products could be a great example is when Four Pillars Gin and GoTo Skincare came together and they created the new GoTo Gin.

 

171

00:16:25,403 –> 00:16:32,228

 So limited edition, it had go-to gins, you know, peach branding color.

 

172

00:16:32,228 –> 00:16:38,352

And so it had the flavor and the, you know, the graphic around it was this peach color.

 

173

00:16:38,352 –> 00:16:40,493

So it incorporated both their brands.

 

174

00:16:40,493 –> 00:16:46,257

They created a capsule collection, sold out within minutes and it’s done.

 

175

00:16:46,257 –> 00:16:52,661

And that’s the one that we see a lot when we actually are going into, you know, supermarket or anything else.

 

176

00:16:52,661 –> 00:16:53,642

So that’s when we see

 

177

00:16:55,180 –> 00:17:06,367

 you know, gay time biscuits, or we see different types of brands actually come together and create that product.

 

178

00:17:06,367 –> 00:17:09,429

The next one is when you use your product with a service.

 

179

00:17:09,429 –> 00:17:22,857

So for example, if there was an interior designer, so a professional service, and they collaborated with a furniture company, that would be when you actually have a product and a service.

 

180

00:17:23,304 –> 00:17:35,412

 And a great example of that is Jono Fleming is an interior designer, and he did a collaboration with Globe West Furniture, which is a brand of furniture that interior designers love.

 

181

00:17:35,412 –> 00:17:50,722

And they created a campaign where Jono actually wrote articles, created videos, created content on the big decisions that consumers had to make that they always had this kind of buyer’s remorse about.

 

182

00:17:51,512 –> 00:17:54,154

 What size rug is right for that dining room?

 

183

00:17:54,154 –> 00:17:57,196

And how much light do I need in a bedroom?

 

184

00:17:57,196 –> 00:18:01,418

And what shape lounge is best for this space?

 

185

00:18:01,418 –> 00:18:02,979

So he created the content.

 

186

00:18:02,979 –> 00:18:07,141

That content was then shared with all of his audience.

 

187

00:18:07,141 –> 00:18:18,008

Globe West then used it within their organization, not only in a digital way, but actually created in-person events where Jono actually helped their VIP customers pick that rug.

 

188

00:18:18,775 –> 00:18:21,258

 and they used it within an education.

 

189

00:18:21,258 –> 00:18:24,941

So they had a program where you actually could learn how to do it.

 

190

00:18:24,941 –> 00:18:29,405

And so they used it around the point of sale in the stores as well.

 

191

00:18:29,405 –> 00:18:33,009

So that’s a great example of a service and a product.

 

192

00:18:33,009 –> 00:18:37,273

From a digital point of view, this is when you could collaborate with

 

193

00:18:38,102 –> 00:18:56,452

 an organisation or another brand and so two of my favourites, so one is an association, so Zara is a consultant and she is a building biologist and she creates healthy homes.

 

194

00:18:56,452 –> 00:19:06,358

So she did a collaboration with the Australian Institute of Architects and created workshops about how to choose healthy building products.

 

195

00:19:06,970 –> 00:19:12,854

 that hundreds of architects actually jumped onto and really wanted to learn about.

 

196

00:19:12,854 –> 00:19:15,316

So for the Australian Institute of Architects, they had a gap.

 

197

00:19:15,316 –> 00:19:19,678

They didn’t have anybody that could talk about this topic that was in demand.

 

198

00:19:19,678 –> 00:19:23,521

And they didn’t have someone that was not biased.

 

199

00:19:23,521 –> 00:19:26,443

So they could get a product company to talk about their products.

 

200

00:19:26,443 –> 00:19:33,007

But obviously, you know, they’re only talking about that one product where she was talking about all the different products.

 

201

00:19:34,113 –> 00:19:44,080

 So that gave Australian Institute of Architects this really, they’re a member association, and so it gave them members something that they actually needed.

 

202

00:19:44,080 –> 00:19:50,445

They get CPD points to throw their accreditation, so it helped them from a learning point of view.

 

203

00:19:50,445 –> 00:20:01,293

And Zara, as a small business, actually got a heap of leads, and now she’s working with all these different architects on projects where the prerequisite is a healthy build.

 

204

00:20:02,598 –> 00:20:02,958

 Yep.

 

205

00:20:02,958 –> 00:20:06,140

And so when you mentioned that being a digital… I’ll give you another one, Ben.

 

206

00:20:06,140 –> 00:20:07,961

Just a bit of clarification on that.

 

207

00:20:07,961 –> 00:20:10,022

You mentioned these being digital partnerships.

 

208

00:20:10,022 –> 00:20:15,025

In that case, was that like a webinar and that sort of content partnership?

 

209

00:20:15,025 –> 00:20:16,126

Is that what you’re referring to?

 

210

00:20:16,126 –> 00:20:18,007

Or was that like in-person workshops?

 

211

00:20:18,007 –> 00:20:22,349

Or is that moving into that experience one that we’re going to get to?

 

212

00:20:22,349 –> 00:20:23,810

Great question.

 

213

00:20:23,810 –> 00:20:26,612

So that was a webinar.

 

214

00:20:26,612 –> 00:20:26,792

Okay.

 

215

00:20:27,547 –> 00:20:34,410

 but it absolutely could have been in-person events in each different state.

 

216

00:20:34,410 –> 00:20:43,293

And so that’s, you’re spot on when you talk about that in terms of all of these things you can, you know, you can take across different mediums.

 

217

00:20:43,293 –> 00:20:51,236

So you could, for example, you could start with a webinar and actually test the appetite of the market.

 

218

00:20:51,236 –> 00:20:55,998

And then you could roll that into a physical in-person experience.

 

219

00:20:57,788 –> 00:21:04,452

 And I have another example of that kind of digital just from a multiple brand perspective.

 

220

00:21:04,452 –> 00:21:08,475

So a couple of mates got together.

 

221

00:21:08,475 –> 00:21:18,261

One was the gentleman and he actually takes the idea of the book out of your head and makes it into a Word document, your book.

 

222

00:21:18,261 –> 00:21:21,603

Next person is an accountability coach, keeps you on track.

 

223

00:21:21,603 –> 00:21:26,145

Next guy was actually a publisher, takes the Word document and actually makes it into a book.

 

224

00:21:27,941 –> 00:21:41,558

 And they teamed up with three other mates, which was a photographer, because you need a headshot on your book, a videographer who actually captured an amazing book trailer, which I’m sure many of your listeners do as well.

 

225

00:21:42,432 –> 00:21:49,395

 and the other one was a physical like printer that actually made the paperback like made it into a physical book you could hold in your hand.

 

226

00:21:49,395 –> 00:21:55,897

Now these six mates all had the same customer which was somebody who wanted to write a book.

 

227

00:21:55,897 –> 00:22:08,282

Authors that were writing a book or had just written a book or who wanted to buy who wanted to write a book and so all of them have that same customer but none of them compete.

 

228

00:22:08,282 –> 00:22:10,603

Now they created a competition where they actually

 

229

00:22:12,071 –> 00:22:13,932

 gave away kind of $5,000 worth of value.

 

230

00:22:13,932 –> 00:22:15,975

Each contributed $5,000 worth of value.

 

231

00:22:15,975 –> 00:22:19,198

So the total prize pool was a $30,000 book writing and publishing package.

 

232

00:22:28,030 –> 00:22:29,110

 which is amazing, right?

 

233

00:22:29,110 –> 00:22:32,291

So the customer gets this ultimate win.

 

234

00:22:32,291 –> 00:22:39,514

And in this customer, the digital content that was produced was about why all these elements were important.

 

235

00:22:39,514 –> 00:22:44,816

And they had the credibility of all these other professionals to work with.

 

236

00:22:44,816 –> 00:22:46,436

So that was a competition.

 

237

00:22:46,436 –> 00:22:48,917

It could have been a webinar series.

 

238

00:22:48,917 –> 00:22:50,718

It could have been a podcast series.

 

239

00:22:50,718 –> 00:22:54,279

It could have been an in-person, you know, weekend workshop.

 

240

00:22:54,279 –> 00:22:57,560

Come and learn everything you need to know about writing a book in one weekend.

 

241

00:22:58,823 –> 00:23:13,689

 But the, the output of that is an incredible database of their ideal customers that they can each market to individually for their service.

 

242

00:23:13,689 –> 00:23:17,250

So it creates an amazing asset that they can all use.

 

243

00:23:17,250 –> 00:23:17,650

Yeah.

 

244

00:23:17,650 –> 00:23:17,910

Yeah.

 

245

00:23:17,910 –> 00:23:18,911

Fantastic.

 

246

00:23:18,911 –> 00:23:27,714

So I think the third one we need to touch on as well, which is experiences, and maybe we’ve kind of touched on that, but is there a, is there more clarity to provide around that?

 

247

00:23:28,287 –> 00:23:29,587

 For sure.

 

248

00:23:29,587 –> 00:23:31,688

So these are my favorite.

 

249

00:23:31,688 –> 00:23:43,631

An in-person experience tops everything else because when we actually come to an event, when it’s an in-person event, we remember everything.

 

250

00:23:43,631 –> 00:23:50,473

We remember how it feels, the sound, the smells, the tastes, everything about it.

 

251

00:23:50,473 –> 00:23:55,715

And so an in-person experience is always the most impactful.

 

252

00:23:57,375 –> 00:24:03,480

 And some examples of that are, you know, a friend of mine is actually an artist.

 

253

00:24:03,480 –> 00:24:06,203

She has a new collection coming out.

 

254

00:24:06,203 –> 00:24:10,666

And so she actually did a collaboration with a restaurant.

 

255

00:24:10,666 –> 00:24:13,509

And so they decided to get together.

 

256

00:24:13,509 –> 00:24:23,157

So they promoted in the restaurant and they promoted in the gallery and also out to their databases that they were creating a one night only event.

 

257

00:24:23,755 –> 00:24:29,038

 So you could come to the restaurant and you could meet Lara, the artist.

 

258

00:24:29,038 –> 00:24:36,702

Her art was all over the restaurant, so you could actually get up close and really see it in person.

 

259

00:24:36,702 –> 00:24:48,068

And Salvatore, who was the head chef, was so inspired by Lara’s artwork that he created a signature dish you could only get on that one night.

 

260

00:24:49,432 –> 00:25:00,238

 So the result of that was that Lara sold a whole lot of paintings to people that she didn’t know that the restaurant had actually bought in.

 

261

00:25:00,238 –> 00:25:10,584

And Lara bought in a whole heap of people that then knew about the restaurant, loved the food, had the best time ever and promised to become regulars.

 

262

00:25:10,584 –> 00:25:17,608

But I guess in terms of for the people who are listening today, I mean, there’s so many amazing events

 

263

00:25:17,967 –> 00:25:23,530

 that are in person where you could be part of that event.

 

264

00:25:23,530 –> 00:25:36,517

And for example, just say you created a 20 second LinkedIn video for every person who actually came up to you.

 

265

00:25:36,517 –> 00:25:42,000

And then of course, if they come up to you, well, you need to send them the video, right?

 

266

00:25:42,000 –> 00:25:47,423

So then by creating that video, then you get your email address and then they’re actually pushing it out.

 

267

00:25:47,931 –> 00:25:58,020

 And of course, you’re going to ask them to actually credit you for creating that video when they share it on LinkedIn or Instagram or which other platform as well.

 

268

00:25:58,020 –> 00:26:08,010

So one, you’ve got a whole database of people who’ve just got a small taste of your service, your style, your professionalism.

 

269

00:26:09,301 –> 00:26:22,417

 And also you’ve got user generated content almost because you’ve actually got your quality, your video that’s being pushed out to their audiences and they’re promoting your name.

 

270

00:26:23,683 –> 00:26:24,523

 Yeah, I love that.

 

271

00:26:24,523 –> 00:26:25,464

That’s great.

 

272

00:26:25,464 –> 00:26:30,326

A great practical example that, you know, anyone can use from today as well.

 

273

00:26:30,326 –> 00:26:44,794

I want to steer things now into some more of that practical element because I think people watching and listening are probably fired up a bit and ideas are probably bouncing around much like it is in my head right now about things that you can do in your own business or for your clients.

 

274

00:26:44,794 –> 00:26:48,516

But I’d love to know how do you decide on kind of

 

275

00:26:49,456 –> 00:26:54,118

 where to go for partnerships that fit your brand and your goals as a business?

 

276

00:26:54,118 –> 00:26:58,959

Is there some criteria you look forward to make sure that there’s a good fit both ways?

 

277

00:26:58,959 –> 00:27:04,301

Because I guess it needs to be beneficial to both sides of that partnership, right?

 

278

00:27:04,301 –> 00:27:05,862

Yes, absolutely.

 

279

00:27:05,862 –> 00:27:09,583

If it’s only one-sided, it’s sponsorship, right?

 

280

00:27:09,583 –> 00:27:11,324

Or it’s advertising.

 

281

00:27:11,324 –> 00:27:15,225

If it’s only one side, then one side needs to pay.

 

282

00:27:15,225 –> 00:27:18,026

So it needs to be equal or

 

283

00:27:18,843 –> 00:27:21,284

 or at least balanced.

 

284

00:27:21,284 –> 00:27:32,948

So when you start to look at partnerships as part of your kind of marketing strategy, then really it’s about kind of, you know, three things, which is, you know, marketing, so it’s reach.

 

285

00:27:32,948 –> 00:27:38,850

So who has got the reach that you need, that you can collaborate with.

 

286

00:27:38,850 –> 00:27:40,690

Credibility is the second one.

 

287

00:27:40,690 –> 00:27:45,472

So credibility, it might be around, so for example,

 

288

00:27:46,518 –> 00:27:57,060

 for everyone listening, maybe you are the official videographer for South by Southwest, something like that.

 

289

00:27:57,060 –> 00:28:12,903

So it could be around an event that would put you on the map, give you a head start to actually get some new deals because of the credibility of that name.

 

290

00:28:13,768 –> 00:28:16,829

 And the third is around differentiation.

 

291

00:28:16,829 –> 00:28:27,230

So what could you do to actually put yourself and your service together that would actually make you stand out from your competitors?

 

292

00:28:27,230 –> 00:28:33,992

Now, when we as small business owners, when we’re trying to wear all the hats, it’s hard, right?

 

293

00:28:33,992 –> 00:28:35,672

I totally get it.

 

294

00:28:35,672 –> 00:28:42,133

And so just like I’ve been with my husband for a very long time, 20 something years,

 

295

00:28:42,547 –> 00:28:44,148

 I won’t say how many.

 

296

00:28:44,148 –> 00:28:46,769

And, you know, he is he is amazing.

 

297

00:28:46,769 –> 00:28:47,510

Right.

 

298

00:28:47,510 –> 00:28:56,394

But I but I also have, you know, my family and I also have my best girlfriends and I also have, you know, work people that I adore.

 

299

00:28:56,394 –> 00:29:05,739

So don’t try to find, you know, the perfect person that’s going to deliver every single thing to you in one collaboration.

 

300

00:29:05,739 –> 00:29:09,421

So when you’re starting out, it’s really good to kind of identify what

 

301

00:29:11,680 –> 00:29:18,801

 you know, what’s one thing, what’s one objective that you would like to get done?

 

302

00:29:18,801 –> 00:29:25,003

And then you look for a partner that could help you just achieve that one objective.

 

303

00:29:25,003 –> 00:29:26,563

Yeah.

 

304

00:29:26,563 –> 00:29:36,505

For example, you might actually create some video content where you, where it might be around a target audience.

 

305

00:29:36,930 –> 00:29:53,205

 So say you were in the real estate, like homewares, building, real estate, so something around a house, a physical house where you’re filming, whether it’s the products or materials or the lifestyle, but around a house.

 

306

00:29:54,099 –> 00:30:08,304

 then you would probably find a whole lot of brands that actually would not compete with you but would actually be in that area that could give you reach, credibility, or differentiation.

 

307

00:30:08,304 –> 00:30:18,627

So that might be that you, if you were a videographer in that home space, then you might team up with a stylist or you might team up with a buyer’s agent.

 

308

00:30:19,237 –> 00:30:35,620

 And so it could be a whole heap of people that are in that kind of customer journey that can then, that partner can then elevate your name, can actually push your name out and give you differentiation from your competitors.

 

309

00:30:35,620 –> 00:30:44,941

So, and as I said, that all that could be fashion or that could be music or it could be whatever is your, your field, your niche.

 

310

00:30:44,941 –> 00:30:48,542

Then who else is actually talking to that customer?

 

311

00:30:49,517 –> 00:30:53,578

 who comes before or after you.

 

312

00:30:53,578 –> 00:30:58,280

So it might be, just say you’re in home, then it might be a stylist who is before you.

 

313

00:30:58,280 –> 00:31:10,524

So actually doing collaborations with the stylist where then you’re actually photographing their work, then they will start recommending you because you make them look good.

 

314

00:31:10,524 –> 00:31:18,667

But it also could be that you guys team up together and actually talk about the five ways to style or things like that.

 

315

00:31:19,899 –> 00:31:39,564

 So when you’re looking for a partner, so again, just really simply, when we’re looking for a partner, we’re looking for what is our objective and do we want reach, credibility or differentiation and who, what other brands that have the same customer as you, which other brands could deliver one of those three objectives for you.

 

316

00:31:40,447 –> 00:31:41,427

 Yeah, I love that.

 

317

00:31:41,427 –> 00:32:08,680

And, you know, I think the key thing that I’m, I’m taking from that is partnerships don’t need to be these big brand collaborations that we talked about at the top of the episode, but for a small business out there or a service provider, it’s, it’s really, it can be just something quite organic and natural with other service providers or businesses that serve the same niche or the same audience around you, but looking for ways to be strategic about that partnership

 

318

00:32:09,538 –> 00:32:19,061

 And, you know, and planning for it, not just hoping that someone else is going to refer people to you because I don’t know, you, you like them.

 

319

00:32:19,061 –> 00:32:19,361

Right.

 

320

00:32:19,361 –> 00:32:23,183

So be strategic about it and planning for what is the activity?

 

321

00:32:23,183 –> 00:32:28,484

What is the partnership activity that we can do together for both of our audiences?

 

322

00:32:28,484 –> 00:32:30,245

That is a win-win for both.

 

323

00:32:30,245 –> 00:32:30,405

Right.

 

324

00:32:31,294 –> 00:32:32,735

 Yes, absolutely.

 

325

00:32:32,735 –> 00:32:34,696

So it has to be almost a three-way win.

 

326

00:32:34,696 –> 00:32:39,658

So it’s like, how does the customer win and then how can you both win at the same time?

 

327

00:32:39,658 –> 00:32:43,340

So what is the experience that you could give?

 

328

00:32:43,340 –> 00:32:57,547

So just in that last, so if you were actually going to real estate agents as a videographer and a stylist, and so we will make the house look good, we will get it ready and the product, the beautiful video will be created.

 

329

00:32:58,196 –> 00:33:03,381

 So that’s even better for that real estate agent because then they don’t have to find two people.

 

330

00:33:03,381 –> 00:33:08,646

The two people are working together to create that perfect outcome for that customer.

 

331

00:33:08,646 –> 00:33:11,589

So that is absolutely what we’re trying to do.

 

332

00:33:11,589 –> 00:33:15,253

And then, as I said, it’s around when I say it’s about balance.

 

333

00:33:15,253 –> 00:33:21,559

Otherwise, it’s one sided and it’s advertising.

 

334

00:33:21,559 –> 00:33:22,600

It might be that

 

335

00:33:23,869 –> 00:33:27,153

 somebody has something, it’s like, what do you need?

 

336

00:33:27,153 –> 00:33:28,554

What haven’t you got?

 

337

00:33:28,554 –> 00:33:30,416

What’s your strength?

 

338

00:33:30,416 –> 00:33:33,239

And what somebody else is lacking?

 

339

00:33:33,239 –> 00:33:39,906

So, just recently, I just put two brands together, which was one was a furniture brand.

 

340

00:33:39,906 –> 00:33:41,848

And so they were talking to me about

 

341

00:33:43,236 –> 00:33:56,099

 doing a launch in Brisbane and actually, you know, booking a hotel and just, you know, booking a room and putting their furniture into this room and inviting all the interior designers to come and see them.

 

342

00:33:56,099 –> 00:34:08,082

And I’m also working with another client who is an artist and they have just done some really amazing work and so are really elevating

 

343

00:34:09,165 –> 00:34:18,031

 He’s very much elevating him as an artist in the industry, but he does not know any interior designers at all.

 

344

00:34:18,031 –> 00:34:20,293

So I was like, hang on, I’ve got an idea.

 

345

00:34:20,293 –> 00:34:23,435

Why don’t you guys work together?

 

346

00:34:23,435 –> 00:34:29,560

So why don’t we put your furniture in his gallery with his art?

 

347

00:34:29,560 –> 00:34:32,101

One, the furniture is going to make the art look amazing.

 

348

00:34:34,008 –> 00:34:35,189

 and vice versa.

 

349

00:34:35,189 –> 00:34:40,853

So then the painting, the artworks are going to make the furniture look amazing.

 

350

00:34:40,853 –> 00:34:43,375

You’ve already got physical space.

 

351

00:34:43,375 –> 00:34:50,000

So as an artist, his asset was obviously his space, the gallery space.

 

352

00:34:50,000 –> 00:34:56,344

And the furniture brand, their asset was in their incredible relationships with interior designers.

 

353

00:34:56,344 –> 00:34:57,345

So the database,

 

354

00:34:58,103 –> 00:35:02,486

 So what does one brand have that the other brand doesn’t?

 

355

00:35:02,486 –> 00:35:05,968

And how can they create this amazing experience?

 

356

00:35:05,968 –> 00:35:08,589

So they had an exhibition.

 

357

00:35:08,589 –> 00:35:10,990

They invited all the interior designers.

 

358

00:35:10,990 –> 00:35:13,552

The interior designers obviously got to see the artwork.

 

359

00:35:14,790 –> 00:35:21,912

 And so that was great and the furniture brand didn’t have to hire an awful hotel room that was really cold.

 

360

00:35:21,912 –> 00:35:25,533

They actually got a really beautiful environment that was really welcoming.

 

361

00:35:25,533 –> 00:35:27,274

And so what did it cost them?

 

362

00:35:27,274 –> 00:35:31,855

It cost them a couple of bottles of champagne and some cheese and biscuits.

 

363

00:35:31,855 –> 00:35:32,275

That’s it.

 

364

00:35:33,744 –> 00:35:37,708

 So who are the brands that actually that you could collaborate with?

 

365

00:35:37,708 –> 00:35:40,830

And so when I’m saying, yeah, it’s about balance.

 

366

00:35:40,830 –> 00:35:43,693

So what do they both get out of it?

 

367

00:35:43,693 –> 00:35:49,998

And so they both got something great out of it, but it might not be the same thing.

 

368

00:35:49,998 –> 00:35:55,723

So one got to meet interior designers that they didn’t know, and one got to use a space that they didn’t have to pay for.

 

369

00:35:55,723 –> 00:35:56,644

Yeah, I love it.

 

370

00:35:56,644 –> 00:35:59,026

But it’s a win, win, win all around.

 

371

00:35:59,026 –> 00:36:00,447

So that’s fantastic.

 

372

00:36:01,262 –> 00:36:02,902

 Totally, a three-way win.

 

373

00:36:02,902 –> 00:36:06,163

So that’s the ultimate when you can have a three-way win.

 

374

00:36:06,163 –> 00:36:07,603

Yeah, absolutely.

 

375

00:36:07,603 –> 00:36:26,948

So, you know, Justine, as we wrap up here a little bit, Therese, so what would you say for someone who’s listening and maybe they are that smaller business or maybe they represent a bigger brand or a marketing for a bigger brand as well, like what would you say is kind of the action to take away from this episode to maybe

 

376

00:36:27,708 –> 00:36:30,710

 try and identify the right partners for them.

 

377

00:36:30,710 –> 00:36:36,494

What would be the next steps that you would suggest someone does if they’re thinking of exploring this marketing approach?

 

378

00:36:36,494 –> 00:36:37,775

Sure.

 

379

00:36:37,775 –> 00:36:46,781

So the first thing is you probably already have a whole load of brands that are already referring you.

 

380

00:36:46,781 –> 00:36:53,405

So natural word of mouth, people are saying, Oh, you should definitely use this videographer.

 

381

00:36:53,405 –> 00:36:55,226

You should definitely use this person.

 

382

00:36:55,226 –> 00:36:55,266

So

 

383

00:36:57,152 –> 00:36:58,233

 That is a referral.

 

384

00:36:58,233 –> 00:36:59,293

Great, right?

 

385

00:36:59,293 –> 00:37:00,094

Absolutely.

 

386

00:37:00,094 –> 00:37:02,515

And we love referrals.

 

387

00:37:02,515 –> 00:37:16,324

But what if we could take that referral and actually make it into some marketing material so that referral was like a little sprinkle of breadcrumbs all over the internet so then people could find you.

 

388

00:37:16,324 –> 00:37:21,127

So it wasn’t just relying on somebody actually saying your name out loud.

 

389

00:37:21,127 –> 00:37:22,028

It was actually

 

390

00:37:22,876 –> 00:37:25,358

 it was digitally done.

 

391

00:37:25,358 –> 00:37:28,920

So the first thing I’d say is like, who are you already working with?

 

392

00:37:28,920 –> 00:37:38,848

Like, who do you have great relationships with that you can actually, you know, strike up a conversation, what I call a curious conversation.

 

393

00:37:38,848 –> 00:37:44,572

And you say, hey, I know I’m always referring you, you’re always referring me.

 

394

00:37:44,572 –> 00:37:49,235

What if we actually got together and just created some content around this?

 

395

00:37:51,429 –> 00:37:53,610

 So people could find us both.

 

396

00:37:53,610 –> 00:38:02,255

What if we created a competition, a collaboration, an event, something where we can both gain from it?

 

397

00:38:02,255 –> 00:38:12,840

And the output of that would be either emails, content, it could be a collaboration, it could be the credibility.

 

398

00:38:12,840 –> 00:38:16,862

So as I said, it could be the reach, the credibility or the differentiation.

 

399

00:38:16,862 –> 00:38:17,923

And what you will find is,

 

400

00:38:19,238 –> 00:38:22,319

 Most of small business owners, we’re doing it all, right?

 

401

00:38:22,319 –> 00:38:25,941

As I said, we wear all the hats and it’s quite lonely.

 

402

00:38:25,941 –> 00:38:32,543

So one, it’s actually more fun to do marketing with mates.

 

403

00:38:32,543 –> 00:38:39,046

And two, it will deliver a better outcome because you’re having somebody else talk about your brand.

 

404

00:38:39,928 –> 00:39:02,032

 And so what I would absolutely say for you to do is pretty much grab a pen and look at who you’re already kind of working with that you could create something a little bit more, when I say formal, something that actually creates a whole lot of assets that is more than just somebody saying your name out loud.

 

405

00:39:02,032 –> 00:39:03,252

And that’s the first step.

 

406

00:39:03,252 –> 00:39:09,213

I mean, I work with lots of brands who actually, and we take them through, you know, who would be a great,

 

407

00:39:09,972 –> 00:39:17,215

 reach partner who would be a great credibility partner who would be a great differentiation partner so you can make more margin.

 

408

00:39:17,215 –> 00:39:24,938

I look at like what are all the assets that you’ve got and when I say assets I just mean as a business we have a huge amount of things that we

 

409

00:39:25,598 –> 00:39:28,861

 we just sit on, we probably don’t even realize that we’ve got.

 

410

00:39:28,861 –> 00:39:51,578

And so how do you kind of pitch, like what could you show that is in your toolkit to another brand to see what’s in their toolkit, to see that, you know, well, I’ve got this and you’ve got this, maybe we could come together and actually create something interesting, chat worthy, shareable, you know, that would give us something that we’re both wanting.

 

411

00:39:51,578 –> 00:39:53,819

So I want more followers, you want a database.

 

412

00:39:55,323 –> 00:39:56,744

 Therese, thank you so much.

 

413

00:39:56,744 –> 00:39:58,804

This has been an amazing episode.

 

414

00:39:58,804 –> 00:39:59,805

So many takeaways.

 

415

00:39:59,805 –> 00:40:04,926

I’ve taken so many notes myself about how I can utilize partnerships in my own business.

 

416

00:40:04,926 –> 00:40:09,548

So I assume our listeners have taken away a lot for themselves today as well.

 

417

00:40:09,548 –> 00:40:15,030

So just as we wrap up here, can you maybe mention a little bit about your book?

 

418

00:40:15,030 –> 00:40:16,190

Where can we get your book?

 

419

00:40:16,190 –> 00:40:23,773

What the title of your book is and how would you like people to connect with you further if they want to maybe connect and learn more about partnerships for their business?

 

420

00:40:25,037 –> 00:40:37,888

 Well, if you are interested in swap marketing without money, you can find it on Amazon, where it’s available in a paperback, a Kindle and an audio book.

 

421

00:40:37,888 –> 00:40:40,290

So whatever your flavour is.

 

422

00:40:40,290 –> 00:40:43,533

And then you can find me, Therese Tarlington.

 

423

00:40:43,533 –> 00:40:44,814

I’m the only one in the world.

 

424

00:40:44,814 –> 00:40:50,739

So you can find me on all the social platforms just under my name.

 

425

00:40:50,739 –> 00:40:53,021

Tarlington doesn’t have a G in it, just for that.

00:41:33,398 –> 00:41:40,941
