The Future of Experiential Marketing: AI, Robots, and Beyond

Marketing to Mindstates

From pressure-washing businesses to global CPG giants, Will shows how temporary mind states, nine core motivations, and simple laddering conversations let you craft messages that cut through the filter of the non-conscious mind. In a world drowning in AI-generated content, understanding goals, motivations, approach and cognitive biases is the difference between noise and real behaviour change.

Selling directly from Youtube with zero platform fees.

She cut her teeth in direct-response media. From 2007 her team built ~60 channels for a restricted client and turned them into hundreds of millions in sales—many still active. Two years ago she and Matthew Pierce launched TurboRank.co to do the same focused work for e-commerce and brand clients. What’s dead in 2026: random uploads and no strategy. What works: deep diagnostics, content calendars built on winnable searches, weekly consistency, proper optimisation and off-page signals (especially Reddit). These push ranking, feed AI citations and unlock YouTube Shop—high-margin, first-party sales with zero platform fees for Shopify brands.

Stop Being the Lowest-Paid Person in Your Own Business

He’s been the hardest-working, lowest-paid person in his own businesses more than once—near burnout, building companies that no one else wanted, and scaling one to £35 million with 450 staff only to watch money leak through the cracks. That experience is exactly why he wrote The Bee Myth: how successful people accidentally build businesses that steal their lives. Right now this matters because most founders are still chasing every new AI toy while doing £10 tasks at a £100-an-hour rate. Louis shows the simple system that flips the equation—calculate your real hourly value with the 2K rule, stick the number on a post-it, and only touch work that actually pays. Everything else goes to AI-trained VAs that free time and generate revenue through lead magnets, personalised outreach, content, and meeting prep.

Stop chasing downloads: the single-CTA method that turns listeners into buyers

Background in computer science, persuasion and ten years of biotech software engineering. She and her husband built the business on relationships and real outcomes. Over 300 clients have chosen her approach because members stay when they get results—not when they sit in another generic platform. Most creators leave money on the table. Treat selected episodes as strategic assets with one clear call to action, reverse-engineer them for the next step in the buyer’s journey, and you turn old content into conversations and sales.
