Marketing For Learning®

Ep 86 - Could L&D Be Replaced By Comms? Dr Heidi Kirby & Loren Sanders Discuss

It's a question many of us have pondered - could that learning module have just been an email? How much of my learning is actually just information that I could communicate in a different way? In this podcast, Ashley invites two industry experts to talk about the world of learning and whether L&D REALLY could be replaced by marketing and comms.

Ep 85 - How Would A Marketer Do L&D?

Han and Ash often offer up a lot of criticism for how things are done in L&D. So could they do it better? This episode the ladies examine what they'd do in a senior L&D role, using their marketing brains. Very interesting chat indeed.

Ep 84 - Take Your Learning Hat Off

Han and Ash keep telling you to 'take your learning hat off'... but what on earth does that mean?! In this pod, Han dives right into what it means and how you can up the empathy with your target audience. 

Short and sweet. Just like the pod host. Although that would more likely be short and sassy... whatevs.

Ep 83 - Is Learning at Work Week Worth It?

Ah yes, another year, another Learning at Work Week. Cue a flurry of marketing activities. 

This week Ash raises an important question: Is LAWW doing more harm than good, or should we be doing marcoms around this? Not quite an Ashley rant, but nearly 🤣

Ep 80 - Brand Hierarchies & Why You Need Them

Brand hierarchies (aka, brand architecture) are an essential element of marketing for learning®, and also grossly overlooked by you L&D folk. In this short episode Ash discusses what brand hierarchies are, why they're important and why it's absolutely critical to establish how all your corporate brands interplay with each other BEFORE you start big pieces of marketing work. 

Save yourself a headache, start up those brand hierarchy discussions early and really understand what you can actually do from a branding perspective from the outset, instead of trying to figure it amidst a project! 

Ep 79 - The LPI Learning Survey 2024 with CLO Sarah Hatton

In this super juicy episode, Ash is joined by Sarah Hatton, Chief Learning Officer at The LPI, to discuss their recently released 2024 Learning Survey. Ash and Sarah discuss what’s changing in L&D, the direction of travel of our industry, and what we need to do to stay future focused.

Happy listening!

Ep 78 - Why Marketing Campaigns DO Work For L&D

Do marketing campaigns work for L&D? Well yeah, of course they do! But not everyone's convinced... In this podcast episode, Han sets the record straight on why campaigns are a great decision for all L&D teams.

Ep 77 - The Importance Of Planning

We're about to get musical in this episode... or are we? Don't worry, this podcast won't subject you to Han's karaoke singing (even though she thinks she's great at it...) but she will be talking about the importance of HUM, SING, and SHOUT.

Using these 3 words, you'll translate your marketing for learning® strategy into a consistent, compelling and easy to use marketing plan. What more could you want?

Happy listening!
