In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with Digital Marketing Consultant, Founder & CMO of Mongoose Media, Lauren Petrullo. Lauren Petrullo is a seasoned marketing professional with a rich background that includes working at the Walt Disney Company. Her journey brought her to Orlando, where she founded Mongoose Media, a digital marketing agency specializing in SEO and Facebook ads. The agency works with individuals, brands, and companies across various industries, including e-commerce and hospitality, helping them increase their traffic and scale their businesses. According to Lauren, Pinterest is an underutilized channel offering a unique brand opportunity. With its large user base and longer life decay for posts, Pinterest attracts individuals not present on other social media platforms. Lauren shared that they have seen success with non-obvious brands on Pinterest, such as mechanics and education programs, which was a surprising revelation. One of the most insightful parts of the conversation was when Lauren shared the lessons she learned from Disney that she applied to her business. She emphasized the importance of the last impression, drawing parallels with the parking experience at Disney's Magic Kingdom. Lauren advises businesses to have a speed lead initiative and maintain touchpoints with leads to differentiate themselves from competitors.

Tweetable Moments:

6:30 - “If you're not on Pinterest and you're in the obvious category of DIY and beauty and food related stuff, you're missing out because your audience expects you there.” 9:35 - “If you can leverage in different tools so that what you're providing is layered in with data, which is layered in with human intervention, you can get a product that is likely going to be more IP protected.” 12:15 - “The last impression they have of you is that you're just another fill in the blank, because there was no touchpoint.”
