Are you a purpose-driven podcaster or content creator who feels weird about using fear-based marketing? It's a common problem, especially as the holiday season looms around the corner. The language we use to talk about our products and services can either attract or push away our ideal clients. On this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, we're talking with marketing consultant Kat Kennan about how to use empathy and a trauma-informed approach to marketing, so you can attract clients in a way that feels good for everyone. This week, episode 230 of Podcasting Unlocked is about empathy-based marketing for content creators!
Bestselling author of two nonfiction marketing books, Kat Kennan wrote the poetry collection Beneath the Silence and is cooking up a fiction trilogy. As founder of Radical Customer Experience (RCX), she flips the script on marketing—swapping fear for empathy, trauma wisdom, and downright human kindness. Because let’s face it: kindness sells way better.
In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, Kat Kennan is sharing the importance of looking at the whole person who reads your marketing material and actionable steps you can take right now to adjust your marketing messages to be driven by empathy.
Kat and I also chat about the following:
- Moving away from marketing that relies on fear or scarcity messaging.
- Approaching holiday messaging with consideration and compassion.
- Showing up as human for your audience and letting them know how much of a difference they make in your business.
- Being intentional and deliberate about the words you choose for your products and sales copy.
Building an empathy-driven marketing strategy is not just about being kind; it's about building lasting customer loyalty. How can you take one step this week to make your marketing more human?
