00:05:42.150<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: So was dietetic did it detective your first foray into technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:05:42.690 &#8211;&gt;

00:07:14.340<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: code well enough that I can guide a product team right, so I can guide the coders and sometimes I can guide them away from making the wrong mistakes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:07:14.940 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:31.740<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: You know around database structures and types of databases and you know ways of utilizing html better so you know, given the fact that we were sort of it we went from being an seo technology to being an seo services company, you know it&#8217;s good to be geeky i&#8217;ll put it that way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:07:32.250 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:40.950<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: It did understanding the language of technology help you be a better average Nigerian market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:07:42.600 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:44.550<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: I think it did because.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:07:45.930 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:59.430<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: The the vehicle that that delivered the content was tech right and this this came from you know, one of our early projects, which is a floppy disk based promo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:08:00.750 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:04.980<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Presentation for the movie disclosure with demi Moore and Michael Douglas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:08:06.150 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:15.900<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: You know this, this is like way back right so understanding the technology and where the limits of the technology were and yet figuring out how to stretch that technology to its limit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:08:16.290 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:23.910<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And do the coolest thing you could do with it right, that was the key I mean we got the Budweiser frog screensaver outsource to us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:08:24.180 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:37.710<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: We built the screensaver that when you&#8217;re it had audio in it, so when your screensaver would kick in on a windows machine around the time of the Budweiser frogs your computer would start to say ribbit ribbit you know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:08:38.520 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:53.430<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And the you know that kind of stuff you know sort of pushing the envelope a little bit and taking the taking what Maybe other agencies or come up with, because you know search marketing agencies typically were at the agency of record so you&#8217;d end up getting brought in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:08:55.020 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:05.400<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: To do all sorts of things and take take existing ideas and layer onto them so yeah absolutely you got it yeah you have to be a geek now maybe less so, but certainly back then you have to be pretty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:09:05.460 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:14.040<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: Oh, that but I think I think you know I came I came out of the technology, I was a coder and you know I had to learn the language of marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:09:15.150 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:28.020<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: which was a different path yeah but definitely my knowledge of technology helped me a lot in my endeavors so I can see where that was probably important part of worried why you are the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:09:29.040 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:30.870<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: Making that important transition, I think.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:09:32.340 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:39.450<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: So now, you were also known as a content marketing guru so I imagine that came out of your seo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:09:40.410 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:49.470<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: yeah to a great extent is a combination of things, obviously, as you mentioned content is has been king and wise Kent that content is even better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:09:50.820 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:06.900<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And so it&#8217;s sort of table stakes right for seo is great content bad content can actually get you in trouble from an seo perspective, it certainly didn&#8217;t work very well for demand media when they became a content farm and it came back, and you know, Google didn&#8217;t like that very much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:10:08.160 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:20.550<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: But you know great content is is absolutely critical you know where we sort of made that jump from just straight seo into being very content centric was was really this continued momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:10:21.090 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:25.440<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Around social media these continued momentum around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:10:26.400 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:37.890<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: owning your own content and sort of having not just earned media but owned media right, whether that was on blogs or on your sites or on it within your social media channels you needed to be graded content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:10:38.400 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:49.290<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And, as a result, you know you also need to be great at storytelling right and being a geek and being a marketer isn&#8217;t good enough and that&#8217;s why we bought three PR agencies right PR agencies integrated storytelling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:10:49.710 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:59.520<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Right now, the old PR agencies we bought they weren&#8217;t good at digital distribution of storytelling assets, but they knew how to storytelling knew how to be strategic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:11:00.150 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:16.890<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And we have to also change their Frame of Reference right The other thing that that PR agency still think about PR hits as a particular slice of time right seos don&#8217;t think about it that way seos think about it like this might be a permanent link to my domain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:11:17.130 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:18.330<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: it&#8217;s going to be there forever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:11:18.360 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:29.790<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: that&#8217;s super valuable or they think about it from the perspective of hey if that place that we got that PR hit has good domain authority to use a word that nobody likes to use anymore, but.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:11:30.540 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:37.830<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: They might they might outrank that that same piece of content on our blog right, so we may end up with a permanent fixture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:11:38.190 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:47.160<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: In a Google search or being served as a result of getting getting a PR hit right which is much more of a long term philosophy than straight PR.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:11:47.460 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:52.500<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: So, but by sort of weaving all that stuff together we&#8217;re like okay content is it&#8217;s not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:11:52.950 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:58.320<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Created once use it once and congratulate yourself and walk away it&#8217;s really much more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:11:58.590 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:04.110<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: How do we continue to repurpose this content, how does it sit sit within social, how does it sit within.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:12:04.350 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:14.520<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: within your own domain, how does it sit on other domains, you know where should content live, should it live exclusively on your domain, should it be syndicated out how should you co create content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:12:14.880 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:25.260<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Who should you co create the content with you know when do you decide this content sucks and you would actually prefer for it to disappear right all that stuff added a completely new layer to our business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:12:26.490 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:36.930<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: I mean, I think that&#8217;s important I love your emphasis on storytelling you know, one of the things I did is you know, I have a different sort of model and I needed lots of really good travel writers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:12:38.850 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:43.680<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: I knew a lot of seo writers, but they were particularly good at writing stories about travel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:12:43.950 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:50.460<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: And even some of the travel writers real creative writing stories, I actually wouldn&#8217;t found Hollywood screenwriters and needed extra work and train them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:12:50.730 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:59.880<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: on how to do seo and that really was a great success, because they could they could tell the story right and everybody really want a good story so it&#8217;s a.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:13:00.300 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:09.240<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: it&#8217;s a it&#8217;s I think that wise content it&#8217;s important to to embed that story writing from the beginning of what you&#8217;re going to tell so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:13:10.380 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:11.370<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: I think it was a good point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:13:11.610 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:13.500<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: yeah one other point i&#8217;d add to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:13:13.500 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:20.010<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: That is is storytelling content and journalistic content or inverted to each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:13:20.970 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:30.210<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Because journalistic content uses the inverted pyramid style, which is to put the punch line in the headline put the make the first sentence, the most important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:13:30.510 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:39.240<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And then, make it increasingly less important, as you get down with storytelling you don&#8217;t want to have the headline be the Butler kills billionaire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:13:39.420 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:41.850<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Right, because then nobody&#8217;s going to read beyond the headline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:13:42.180 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:53.940<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Whereas when you&#8217;re storytelling the emphasis comes later on in the in the story right, and so you need a mix from an seo and content perspective of inverted pyramid journalistic style content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:13:54.300 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:59.730<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And storytelling content and sometimes you have to find that balance between the two, where you have a hook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:14:00.090 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:12.780<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: In the beginning and then that hook was like really strong but then you have sort of the additional information that sort of supports the educational information in the article in the piece it&#8217;s the same thing with with with the video right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:14:13.710 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:26.490<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: screenwriters to your point, which is that&#8217;s that&#8217;s brilliant right screenwriters understand that the hero&#8217;s journey right the hero&#8217;s journey you don&#8217;t see that used an seo very often right, you see, in every screenplay right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:14:27.360 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:31.110<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: You know I tried to do a little bit of the hero&#8217;s journey in this podcast when talking to people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:14:32.520 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:36.630<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: So anyway we&#8217;re gonna go to a break and come back about more about your hero&#8217;s journey alright.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:14:37.140 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:37.830<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: sounds good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:14:40.470 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:45.060<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Radio nyc www talk radio dot nyc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:16:49.980 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:57.540<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: hi this is Joseph mcilroy back with wise content creates wealth and my guest Kevin Lee so Kevin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:16:58.230 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:08.760<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: i&#8217;m going back in your past a little bit I was researching some stuff we wrote on all those articles online, I found one or 2018 Europe from our search engine land about branded content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:17:09.300 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:26.040<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: Right, which is also advertorial content or if it was in print or infomercials and it was in broadcast what I thought was interesting you compared branded content strategies to the soap opera model days past What did you mean by that and does that still apply today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:17:27.000 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:29.100<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: It does still apply right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:17:30.150 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:37.710<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: You know the the the reason branded content is hotter than ever now is because ad blockers right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:17:38.670 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:48.030<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And the branded content comes a lot of different flavors right sometimes the branded content that is being created as a result of requests from an agency or brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:17:48.570 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:55.650<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: It actually mentions the brand right, and so, in that case it&#8217;s it&#8217;s one flavor of branded content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:17:56.040 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:09.360<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: But an entirely different set of branded content is really sort of the the understanding that this brand has underwritten a particular piece of content, even though the content doesn&#8217;t necessarily talk about the brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:18:09.750 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:26.160<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Right so soap operas you you knew that they were paying for the soap bar for for you to be able to watch that soap opera was either tied or a Unilever product that&#8217;s old soap operas because soap was allowing you to be entertained by those actors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:18:27.270 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:30.600<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And so they became it became sort of part of the entire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:18:31.680 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:47.430<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: The entire framework of that that model right was this idea that was underwritten by somebody and, to be honest, public radio and and public TV to a great extent use a similar model right is it sort of as a pre roll to your public radio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:18:48.420 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:58.920<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: podcast or pre roll to your Nova on what in New York would be channel 13 right you knew that the you know up with Exxon Mobil was the sponsor right so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:18:59.160 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:04.890<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: that&#8217;s not straight advertising that&#8217;s sort of a branded content and and in a digital world branded content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:19:05.160 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:14.880<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Is not typically skippable and the level of that you integrate the branded content, it the brand into the content for branded content is a total continuum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:19:15.210 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:24.780<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Right, because people don&#8217;t really want to learn about your product necessarily you may not have an exciting product or you may not have an exciting service but by dovetailing yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:19:25.740 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:41.700<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: into the content and making people understand that you know you supported that content that&#8217;s came in the entire influencer ecosystem runs on this right it&#8217;s there&#8217;s not that much difference between the soap operas and what cutie pie does right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:19:41.910 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:49.500<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: yeah basically integrating that brand into the content, maybe he mentions what the brand does maybe he doesn&#8217;t but you certainly know that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:19:49.860 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:02.190<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: That your favorite star whoever that may be, or that that influencer is being supported by by that content, so you might think you know oh soap operas that&#8217;s like old news no they&#8217;re back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:20:04.710 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:25.770<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: Well, what what tips or tools would you do you think help a brand or research couple grand to determine to what level they should integrate their brand into into some content, you know how does it say the relatively new brand get into this and understand what they should shouldn&#8217;t do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:20:26.910 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:35.610<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: yeah it really comes down to the marketing strategy right, as well as sort of what what your product is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:20:37.200 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:46.110<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Some categories it&#8217;s tough to create content and integrate your brand into the content, because the the the.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:20:47.250 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:55.110<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: The topic or the service if you were to look at it independently, it might seem sort of boring and some brands have done a really great job with that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:20:55.410 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:03.030<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And sometimes one brand doing a great job in a category allows everybody else to in a category to become more creative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:21:03.330 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:16.050<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Right, so he is geico as an example right insurance is really not an exciting topic right it&#8217;s far as like just insurance in a box right it&#8217;s insurance right auto insurance home insurance whatever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:21:16.350 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:20.520<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: So they have first embraced this idea, like we can tell stories and be funny.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:21:21.000 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:27.210<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: When we&#8217;re trying to get our brand across and then we have other ads which are pure direct response listen you say 15% whatever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:21:27.510 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:40.470<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: But they don&#8217;t exclusively use the gecko they use the cavemen they did these Halloween skits that were different, and like the insurance just sort of goes along for the ride right, and so, if you have a somewhat boring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:21:41.580 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:51.210<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: type of product or service you just have to let your your service and your brand go along, for the ride, because no one wants to hear about insurance right so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:21:51.690 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:53.640<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: mayhem do come into existence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:21:53.730 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:58.110<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Right, but the thing is gets crazy in that in the in the auto insurance business right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:21:58.560 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:06.300<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: progressive and and liberty mutual and a bunch of other brands have taken their creative up several notches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:22:06.600 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:14.160<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Yes, they have to compete against the very creative leader right, so if you&#8217;re if the category and is not that exciting, you have to figure out how to story tell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:22:14.490 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:20.520<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: within your category and let the story come along for the ride if you&#8217;re in a really exciting category.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:22:21.270 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:27.060<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: You have you can have a very different strategy, and you can integrate you can integrate into brand placements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:22:27.450 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:36.000<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: You can even do it in the way that is done in movies and TV stations, which is sort of TV shows, which is brand placement within a movie right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:22:36.900 &#8211;&gt; 00:22:48.240<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: m&amp;ms passed on being an et so reese&#8217;s pieces got that slot right now that that&#8217;s you know, a part of that movie that was sort of unforgettable right like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:22:48.540 &#8211;&gt;

00:23:45.420<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: turned in their browser right so branded content is a way of sort of breaking through that if, once there&#8217;s a taking advantage of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:23:46.290 &#8211;&gt; 00:24:01.170<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: You know, when we launch good buzz under giving forward will have branded content once you get big enough where they&#8217;ll just sponsor entire channels, just like the soap operas did so it&#8217;s it&#8217;s a it&#8217;s a fun way to allow your brand to be relevant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:24:02.190 &#8211;&gt;

00:25:15.360<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: vitamin A Toyota ad or one of the major ads in a super bowl spot told you to go to Google and look them up right and, of course, you know they had their own advertising placed there, so they just cost themselves a whole bunch of money was it&#8217;s still worth it, I don&#8217;t know but.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:25:16.980 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:26.820<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: You know that the, the question is whether you&#8217;ll reach critical mass on those keywords, to the point where it makes sense to invest the seo effort into it right because.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:25:27.060 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:33.570<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: you&#8217;re going to have a lag time in the case of seo So if you sort of know something&#8217;s coming out from a brand new content perspective, where you have a.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:25:33.990 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:41.730<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: placement like reese&#8217;s pieces in a movie and you know, six months ahead of time, you may be able to think about that from an seo perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:25:42.090 &#8211;&gt; 00:25:51.990<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: But not just from a straight seo perspective thinking about it from a sort of PR multiplier effect like can you make, make sure that you know you&#8217;re being interviewed about that placement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:25:52.800 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:08.670<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: You know, when that play some hits so that you&#8217;ll then have the the the REACH, the placement power of those brands that interview you, especially if it&#8217;s like the New York Times Wall Street Journal USA today, etc, or you know major broadcast like CNN or fox news.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:26:09.600 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:15.240<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: yeah I know I used to do I work with direct response you know the late night TV commercial companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:26:15.750 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:21.930<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: And one of the one of the reasons they started doing seo is they were finding their leads that call the volume down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:26:22.260 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:26.430<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: Right, the call centers that believes were coming their culture, since it was dropping dramatically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:26:26.820 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:34.920<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: And the reason was is because people remembering, not the telephone number from the commercial anymore they&#8217;re remembering what the commercial commercial was about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:26:35.490 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:44.100<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: And they would go search that and competitors would optimize for the content of their commercials somebody that was doing a $17 million a year media by.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:26:44.340 &#8211;&gt; 00:26:55.200<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: dramatically lost their leads and another competitor built their whole business and became a huge competitor just by stealing their online leads yeah so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:26:55.440 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:01.560<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: yeah in those cases we don&#8217;t we&#8217;ve also had infomercials short form infomercial long from him for infomercial clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:27:01.980 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:06.600<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: You The other thing that happens is you end up having to double pay, because the affiliates do the seo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:27:07.020 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:17.430<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Right, so you could lose it to a competitor you could end up you know double paying in the case of the affiliates who are really good at seo and and essentially think of themselves as publishers as well, so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:27:17.730 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:18.960<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: that&#8217;s where it gets complicated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:27:19.110 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:24.540<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: Is no they never prevents you from buying keywords and doing certain things for the brand right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:27:25.920 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:34.560<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: yeah they taught it for them to control seo obviously they can stop you from bidding on keywords but often affiliates would would end up out ranking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:27:35.850 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:38.760<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: ranking the original brand in some keyword searches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:27:39.060 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:49.380<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: yeah do influencers have to are you do when you&#8217;re doing branded content, you get the present influencers are doing certain things that might affect seo or paid search.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:27:49.950 &#8211;&gt; 00:27:59.670<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: um we haven&#8217;t gotten into any issues with that, yet we typically won&#8217;t let them buy paid search against things just because, especially brand related keywords.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:28:00.780 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:09.540<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: because some of the influencer campaigns are semi performance right so so they may it may not be a flat fee, it may be a combination of a flat fee, plus a.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:28:09.900 &#8211;&gt; 00:28:19.770<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: An affiliate type deal or performance type deal on the back end, so in that case there are more restrictions right if it&#8217;s if it&#8217;s a performance deal, not just a flat fee okay cool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:28:20.010 &#8211;&gt;

00:31:15.120<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: Under invest in earned media and seo because our wise is very challenging to predict So how should the CMOs think about earned media investors investments invest at the optimal level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:31:16.860 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:24.630<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Well, you know I think the the optimal level is going to depend on sort of where they are in their their journey as a brand and as a domain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:31:26.070 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:36.030<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And the attain ability of the results that they&#8217;re trying to accomplish you know, there are have been businesses which is sort of still succeeded in spite of a lack of investment in our media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:31:36.510 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:44.640<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: or seo but they end up being beholden to Google and Facebook and bang for the rest of their lives, their business lives right so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:31:45.150 &#8211;&gt; 00:31:53.430<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: The the you know the success within our media is is a is an extension of sort of this PR and visibility play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:31:54.150 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:04.170<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: So you have to sort of figure about what the what&#8217;s the choreography of your your business launch and when you invest in in earned media when you invest in seo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:32:05.130 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:16.770<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: How would you put kpis in place that would allow you to sort of know whether or not you&#8217;re making you&#8217;re getting momentum, whether or not you expect to see return on your investment eventually or not, but.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:32:17.580 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:26.040<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: You know, like public relations right there are no guarantees no guarantees in seo if somebody gives you a guarantee in seo they&#8217;re probably full of it so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:32:27.060 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:36.270<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: But that doesn&#8217;t mean you shouldn&#8217;t do it right same thing with PR you know every every sort of real brand has a PR agency, they may be under investing in the PR agency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:32:36.600 &#8211;&gt; 00:32:53.910<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: That Agency may have a $5,000 month retainer when it should be 15 so that they can do more, so that they could expand that breath and do more outreach to journalists of different types or maybe get into content creation and creation, but it&#8217;s it&#8217;s a way of providing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:32:54.990 &#8211;&gt; 00:33:08.160<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Social proof right a lot of the stuff that comes out of our own media is sort of social proof okay well you know this was on this show where this was in this newspaper or this was covered by CNN you know I guess it&#8217;s legit now, it could still not be legit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:33:09.300 &#8211;&gt;

00:33:58.890<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: set of kpis which are leading indicators to the eventual rank that you&#8217;re trying to achieve that that I think is key.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:33:59.490 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:11.640<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: One thing I like to advise newer startups is that getting your domain to rank is probably going to be pretty tough, especially if you&#8217;re in a competitive category that doesn&#8217;t mean you shouldn&#8217;t invest in seo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:34:12.180 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:16.890<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: But your seo strategy is probably going to be more about controlling the rest of the serp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:34:17.520 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:24.000<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: than it is going to be about simply your own domain name what I mean by that is every time you get any kind of a PR hit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:34:24.510 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:29.670<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: or even sometimes branded content, where you paid for it and it&#8217;s labeled as advertising.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:34:30.120 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:43.080<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: That may still rank and that&#8217;s one click away from you right So if you can&#8217;t get your own domain to rank sometimes you can get your brand of positive mentioned in a location where they&#8217;ve got 100 times the ranking power that you do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:34:43.620 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:52.500<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And you can do that within 48 hours in some cases right if you get coverage in a particular broadcast venue or a particular print venue so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:34:53.100 &#8211;&gt; 00:34:58.110<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: You really need to think about how earned media relates to owning the serp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:34:58.620 &#8211;&gt; 00:35:08.910<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Not just having a rank right a lot of seo folks are really just about okay I got my domain I got I got my SEM rush I got my hrs I got my all my tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:35:09.150 &#8211;&gt;

00:35:24.900<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: But the reality is not only do you compete with publishers, from the perspective of ranking for certain things right, so the publishers are your competitors in certain ways, but they&#8217;re also your.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:35:25.290 &#8211;&gt;

00:41:17.040<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Sometimes, Google will impute local intent, even if it&#8217;s not stated right and sometimes Google will impute the fact that perhaps news results belong here, even though it&#8217;s not stated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:41:17.430 &#8211;&gt;

00:46:08.070<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: schema schema forces you to think in a certain way that I think is useful right, whether or not it ends up being a dynamic ranking factor to be a tiebreaker right so much of seo these days is tie breaking right so whether or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:46:08.610 &#8211;&gt; 00:46:17.580<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: schema versus no schema will be a tiebreaker in the case where you&#8217;ve got great content and you&#8217;ve got great inbound links and everything else is equal will schema be the tiebreaker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:46:18.060 &#8211;&gt; 00:46:27.720<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: i&#8217;m not sure right, you know, especially as rank brain starts to kick in at Google and some of the more sophisticated Ai based algorithms i&#8217;m not sure that schema will necessarily be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:46:28.170 &#8211;&gt; 00:46:38.310<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: The tiebreaker, but I think it it helps inform Google and bing, for that matter right about sort of your content and where your content fits into the broader ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:46:38.970 &#8211;&gt; 00:46:48.840<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: I think they were smart and not giving it too much weight, because you and I go far back far enough, where Meta keywords were abused right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:46:49.020 &#8211;&gt; 00:47:03.540<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: So Google cannot allow schema to be abused, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that completely ignore it right, and so they have to find his engineers, this balance between not ignoring it because it&#8217;s useful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:47:04.020 &#8211;&gt; 00:47:13.950<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: right but not allowing it to be a way of manipulating things the way that the Meta keywords and Meta titles were in the past, but in particular Meta keywords so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:47:14.580 &#8211;&gt;

00:47:29.880<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Of of adding schema to your site is schema should be there right whether it&#8217;s local schema or what any one of the schemas right it&#8217;s worth going through the mental exercise good because it helps you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:47:30.180 &#8211;&gt;

00:48:53.220<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Either people&#8217;s behavior or attention and you&#8217;re turning them into money turning that into money for nonprofits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:48:53.670 &#8211;&gt; 00:49:00.870<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And so you know before I even had this crazy idea to buy gawker i&#8217;d started, we care, which was cause marketing powered commerce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:49:01.230 &#8211;&gt; 00:49:06.120<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And after six and a half years Amazon our biggest partner decided to have us do an A, B split test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:49:06.480 &#8211;&gt; 00:49:11.880<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: We proved lifting conversion rate lifting shopping cart size, they terminated our agreement, and they launched smile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:49:12.240 &#8211;&gt; 00:49:23.670<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: So you know we plateaued at 8.3 million donated to causes with a week here and then amazon&#8217;s now, what about 140 million donated with with smile, and I take calmer credit for that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:49:26.010 &#8211;&gt; 00:49:36.630<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: But after that I got obsessed with this idea of content right and you and I both love content, but it was the idea of cause marketing power content like, if I can get my content donated for free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:49:37.050 &#8211;&gt; 00:49:47.760<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Instead of having to pay an author to do, and it was great content, then I could probably afford to give half of the ad revenue to nonprofits so I built a platform where we would let the reader pick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:49:48.360 &#8211;&gt; 00:49:59.190<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And let the content creator pick a cause, we would measure it like Google analytics basically and we would then at the end of the month, be able to distribute ad revenue, the problem was, I had no ad revenue, because I had no domains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:49:59.730 &#8211;&gt; 00:50:10.170<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: So I started looking for stuff to buy and I was the only bitter on gotham missed and all the other is Chicago West la is that surfaced and DNA info when Joe ricketts shut that down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:50:10.590 &#8211;&gt; 00:50:17.070<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And then the last minute w nyc bought it with a million bucks from an anonymous philanthropists I think it was Bloomberg.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:50:17.520 &#8211;&gt; 00:50:27.120<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And so I started looking for something else to buy it wasn&#8217;t worth a million to me, so I found out about the gawker bankruptcy, it was two years after they sold everything else to univision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:50:28.050 &#8211;&gt; 00:50:40.050<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And I said, you know gawkers got amazing us yeah I think was 12.6 million inbound links right and to the extent that those would still remain valid, that would be a great running start for a content play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:50:40.560 &#8211;&gt; 00:50:49.200<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And if I could get Hollywood celebrities to participate and donate content and to conquer that&#8217;d be cool so I tried to buy gawker turn into gawker for good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:50:50.010 &#8211;&gt; 00:50:56.070<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: I was the high bidder for six months, and then, when Peter thiel agreed not to litigate the buyer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:50:56.760 &#8211;&gt; 00:51:03.300<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: They ran a second auction because they want to run a second auction, because if you don&#8217;t feel scared everybody away with an announcement, he was going to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:51:03.720 &#8211;&gt; 00:51:09.990<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Sue whoever bought it out of existence, I didn&#8217;t care about the archives as much as I would have taken them down if that would become an issue but.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:51:10.260 &#8211;&gt; 00:51:23.640<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: Other buyers potentially really wanted the archives, so I didn&#8217;t get darker I didn&#8217;t get gotham missed I tried to buy lenny letter from Lena dunham and Jenny Connor I tried to buy rookie mag from Tommy Johnson couldn&#8217;t get any of those deals done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:51:24.420 &#8211;&gt; 00:51:35.280<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And so I started giving forward and nonprofit and we&#8217;re launching good buzz.org now the inspiration for that is basically john Kaczynski if you&#8217;ve seen his some good news show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:51:35.430 &#8211;&gt; 00:51:36.930<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph McElroy: that&#8217;s a good that&#8217;s a good yeah.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:51:36.990 &#8211;&gt; 00:51:44.520<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: I mean you know I said, if I can create like 50 john krasinski is talking about fun stuff and doing interviews with each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:51:45.090 &#8211;&gt; 00:51:51.120<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: That would be a lot of fun and then we could let them pick nonprofits each of the stars could pick a nonprofit and we would take.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:51:51.420 &#8211;&gt; 00:52:01.350<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: 25% of the ad revenue go there 25% would go to the viewers choice in the case of video so that&#8217;s been built and it&#8217;s up get ready to launch on good buzz.org.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:52:02.250 &#8211;&gt; 00:52:10.680<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: We did a partnership with the Miss America organization where we&#8217;ll have both miss American miss teen America interviewing celebs starting next week actually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:52:11.610 &#8211;&gt; 00:52:17.880<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: And so, if anyone has celebrities they want to get them interviewed or they want to get their celebrities up on good buzz.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:52:18.240 &#8211;&gt; 00:52:26.970<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: We want to reach that point where where where the publicists are saying okay we&#8217;re doing this on Twitter this on Facebook this on instagram this on tech Doc and we&#8217;re donating this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:52:27.300 &#8211;&gt; 00:52:37.350<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: To good buzz if we can reach that point where it becomes a hub for a lot of great content generated by sports music and Hollywood celebs as well as influencers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:52:37.800 &#8211;&gt; 00:52:40.980<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: We can get pretty big and i&#8217;d love that money to go to causes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:52:41.820 &#8211;&gt; 00:52:53.610<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: It would just make such a huge difference, as you know that the digital the digital pot of money 350 billion dollars, going to be this year right deanna 15 billion is a big number it&#8217;s a be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:52:54.570 &#8211;&gt; 00:52:59.700<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: instagram is going to do at least 30 billion by itself, I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re going to get the instagram size.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:53:00.030 &#8211;&gt; 00:53:15.840<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Lee: But we could make it, you know we could make a small dent if we get big and you know start distributing millions of dollars to nonprofits so i&#8217;m pretty passionate about that it&#8217;s a hobby of mine, I hired a general manager to run it recently so we&#8217;ll see where it goes good buzz.org.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">00:53:16.590 &#8211;&gt;
