The Network will become what the Community wants it to be.

A Conversation with Best Selling Author Scott Stratten

Unbelievably Lucky!

The Brand Chain Brand Together event in Orlando in 2022 was where Jay and Jeff met Scott in person doing the TACOS Show Live. This event had a tremendous impact on all three of us! Scott says, "There was such a great vibe in the audience, and from the jump, I was like – YEAH! These are my people." Scott explained that the main point of his presentation in Orlando was to "bring your creativity back!"

Scott Stratten and his wife Alison Stratten are co-authors of several best-selling business books:

UnMarketing: Stop Marketing. Start Engaging.

UnSelling: The New Customer Experience

UnBranding: 100 Branding Lessons for the Age of Disruption

The Jackass Whisperer

Not only were Jay and Jeff unbelievably lucky to have been in the room in Orlando to hear Scott speak, but Scott also agreed to have an unscripted conversation with them which was AMAZING! He also allowed them to record and share it within the Branded Merch Network.

Here's a Short Buzzworthy Bite from Scott:

It's simple to join!

The Leveraging LinkedIn training experience was a big success! Many of the attendees asked to keep the conversation and training going. We were lucky enough to have three trainers from the actual event, Charity Gibson, Jeremy Picker, and Jay Busselle, join us for an after-party and keep the LinkedIn learning rolling. Their words of social selling and marketing wisdom apply to LinkedIn and most social media platforms.

Jay makes the vital point of focusing on "intention" vs. "attention."

TACOS with Noah Salvi from Nadel

We went WAY "beyond branded merchandise" with Noah Salvi, Branding Consultant from Nadel. It's not every day we can have Noah, AKA: the Merch Lord, on the Tacos show. Noah believes in the magic of branding and delivering creative experiences. One look at his self-promotional vinyl record campaign, and you will see the attention to detail and feel the fun!

TACO 'bout magical marketing and brilliant branding, - this is it!

Shout-outs to: Kevin Mullaney, Record Remix, Trippy Outdoor, Origaudio/HPG Brands, and, interestingly, Costco.
