In this episode of The Marketing Share, our cohosts Alec Cheung and Barb VanSomeren sat down with Scott Cate—a tech veteran who’s been building software since the days of floppy disks—to chat about one of marketing’s most overlooked headaches: broken links.
Scott’s company, 301.Pro, helps marketers like you turn those frustrating “404 errors” into opportunities. Imagine QR codes that actually work, links that update themselves, and campaigns that adapt to weather, time, or even a user’s location—no coding required.
We geeked out about:
👉 Why Scott’s team built a tool to save marketers 5+ hours a week (and how a $250K postcard campaign proved its worth).
👉 Real-world stories: Restaurants switching menus at dinner time, car dealerships routing scans to local shops, and why Bitly can’t keep up.
👉 Simple fixes for outdated webinar links, billboard QR codes, and footer graveyards (we’ve all been there, right?).
Oh, and Scott’s a gem—he even shared a special discount for our listeners:
