Quotes in This Episode “People live the first half of their lives for status, money, material stuff, and then they hit this thing called a midlife crisis because they realize none of that matters. And all of a sudden they start thinking about what their life will mean... So I basically said my goal was to retire at 40, and at 40 I wanted to do whatever I wanted to do regardless of money or status because I thought it would make a difference.” —Kim Whitler
“If the CEO isn’t designing the role correctly... they are setting up the CMO to fail.” —Kim Whitler
“When I look at a football team they all look the same to me, they’re all football players. But yet people who understand football know that a quarterback is very different from a punt returner, from a receiver. These are different roles. And yet a lot of marketers don’t realize that there are very different roles, CEOs don’t realize it, and executive recruiters don’t realize it.” —Kim Whitler
“Very few marketers are on boards. Less than 3% of board members are marketers. So, a general question is: Should they be? Do marketers on boards matter? Do they help? Under what conditions do they help? And so, I’ve been spending the last eight years working on research to address this question.” —Kim Whitler
“The CMO is supposed to go change the growth trajectory of the firm, but they don't have any influence on pricing, they don’t manage the product, they don’t manage the product pipeline, they aren’t influential on distribution, all they manage is promotion. So, part of what needs to happen is educating the CEO on what it takes to impact growth.” —Kim Whitler
“There’s a lot of pressure from society to be a certain way. You know? Students come out at 18 and they’ve had a heavy, heavy dose of serving others. That’s terrific. It’s good for our culture and America, but then they feel guilty doing something for themselves, they feel guilty wanting to have a position that pays more money. So, part of my thing is to be very true to yourself .” —Kim Whitler

In the age of social media, your online presence means everything. Unless you are creating valuable content and meaningful connections, you are likely missing the mark. Today on Women Worldwide we are speaking with Jason Schemmel about bringing empathy into our online communities and creating successful, organic social networks.
Jason Schemmel is a Social Media Manager for HarperCollins Christian Publishing in their Bibles department. He is also the host of the podcast “GSD chat,” as well as a speaker specializing in social media strategy, content creation, and managing your social media presence.
Stay tuned to learn how you can use social media to create impact for your brand and “get shit done.” If your business isn’t already on social media, or even if you are looking to improve your online presence, take some time to hear what Jason has to say!
In This Episode
Quotes in This Episode “How can you produce great content that provides value to people and keeps them wanting more?” —Jason Schemmel
“If you’re a brand or a personality, or even just being yourself, if you’re not producing content and publishing things that don’t resonate with people, no one is going to care—it’s just going to be another thing in their feed.” —Jason Schemmel
“Especially in today’s age where it seems organic reach has become more and more of a scarcity, being able to utilize empathy in your content to better reach people and to better connect with people so that they share it organically. That’s just going to help everyone, and on the business side of things it’s cheaper too!” —Jason Schemmel
“You’re projecting an opinion. If I don’t align with your opinions, then I don’t care.”—Jason Schemmel
“There are definitely businesses out there who still haven’t fully grasped the concept and the impact that social media can have.” —Jason Schemmel
“We’re now in that day and age where if you don’t have a social media presence of some kind, you practically don’t exist.” —Jason Schemmel
