Marketing legend Rand Fishkin joins The Snoball Effect After Dark to drop some skibidi facts about marketing, audience research (SparkToro), and why blindly trusting Google is like letting a raccoon manage your retirement fund.
In classic Snoball fashion, things go off the rails quickly—with absurd games, ruthless heckling, and even a surprise intervention from Rand’s wife, Geraldine DeRuiter, who effortlessly roasts the easiest target (Christian).
Along the way, Rand dishes on SparkToro’s audience research wizardry and his indie game venture, Snackbar Studios, where he’s making an awesome video game about lasagna or something like that.
If you like your marketing insights with a side of chaos, this one’s for you.
