From engineer to entrepreneur, Barry's journey to building Mason (https://getmason.io/) has been an epic one.
____________________
Before writing a single line of code or designing the product, he spent time talking to over 100 merchants, primarily on Shopify, to deeply understand their biggest pain points. He found that while merchants were able to do marketing and automation outside their storefronts, they struggled to personalize the shopping experience within their own online stores.
This led Barry and his team to develop Mason, which uses AI to create dynamic, personalized shopping experiences for each customer in real-time.
The core of Mason's offering is the ability to create "puzzle piece" experiences on a brand's website, where elements like product recommendations, reviews, and content are tailored based on the individual customer's behavior and preferences. Barry emphasizes that the key to driving conversions is deeply understanding the customer and their needs,

Building Seattle's TOP Creative Agency – Secrets to creating high-converting ads + how to empower your team (Ft. Matt Gattozzi, Founder of Goodo Studios)
Talking ALL things content and marketing (and more), this insightful conversation between Evan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/evan-bryce/?) (Content Executive at Australia's #1 digital marketing agency) and Matt (Founder of Goodo Studios (https://www.goodostudios.com/)) unpacks creative strategy in easy-to-digest ways.
Referencing the likes of David Ogilvy and Claude C. Hopkins, the chat is jam-packed with laughs and killer insights. The boys serve up great tips like...
1. Focus on understanding the customer and producing content with intentionality.
2. Look to old advertising books for timeless wisdom in creative inspiration.
3. Have a core channel or activity that everything else supports and amplifies - don't try to be omni-channel too soon.
4. Provide clarity to clients and turn down work that isn't a good fit.
5. Hire proactively, empower your team, and learn to let go of creative control.
Great notes from Matt on building a passionate team, scaling ad campaigns, and the importance of consistency in marketing as well!
