In this episode of The Marketing Share Podcast, co-hosts Alec and Barb welcome a dynamic marketing duo—Tanya and Tony Thorson, co-authors of the refreshingly bold book, Get Off Your (M)ass.
Together, they unpack how marketing must evolve in the age of automation, AI, and customer overload.
Drawing from their combined B2C, B2B, and B2A (Business to Anyone) experiences, the Thorsons break down how to move beyond mass marketing and lean into resonance, personalization, and emotional intelligence.
From storytelling to silo-busting, this episode is packed with actionable insights and a ton of personality.
You’ll walk away with fresh ways to think about content, organizational structure, and how to create genuine customer connections—without sounding like a robot.
Key Takeaways:
- Resonance > Reach: Ditch the mass blasts and build connections that actually land.
- B2A Is the Future: Whether B2B or B2C, marketing is human-to-human—period.
- Break the Funnel Formula: Customers don’t move in straight lines, and your strategy shouldn’t either.
- Emotional Intelligence Wins: Personalization without empathy? That’s just creepy.
- Curiosity Drives Strategy: Stay curious and your brand stays relevant.
- Omnichannel with Intention: Match message, tone, and timing to the channel.
- Marketing = Business Leadership: Marketers must demand their seat at the strategy table.
- POISE Framework: Personalization, Omnichannel, Innovation, Strategy, and EQ—modern marketing's new pillars.
