  • How Social Selling Skills on LinkedIn Build Professional Influence
    2025/03/28
    Is your LinkedIn profile just a digital resume or a powerful business development tool? On this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, the Little Bird Marketing podcast, host and CEO Priscilla McKinney talks with guest, keynote speaker, and Account Director at Savanta, Jake Pryszlak, about mastering social selling and building influence on LinkedIn. They discuss Jake's journey as "The Research Geek" and how his thought leadership evolved from differentiating himself during a job search to opening doors for new business opportunities. They tackle the challenges of standing out in the market research industry, where companies offer similar services with nearly identical messaging. Jake shares his unique approach to content creation, which solves real industry problems rather than just sharing news. "I never really found a newsletter that was talking about [how] they've got this problem," Jake explains. "That's why I created the newsletter to talk about problems I've had in the past in the industry and how I've tried to overcome them." The discussion includes actionable LinkedIn tips, with Pryszlak emphasizing the importance of mobile optimization for posts and Priscilla sharing her alphabet tagging technique. Both agree that investing in personal branding—whether through financial resources or time—delivers measurable ROI for both individuals and their employers. Pryszlak reveals how his personal branding journey faced resistance, sharing a story about being questioned by a former employer about his LinkedIn activity. Sponsors: Priscilla McKinney here!

  • Marketing Strategy and Networking Tips from an Event Planning Expert
    2025/03/21
    Is your company missing out on the power of bespoke events for business growth? On this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, the Little Bird Marketing podcast, host and CEO Priscilla McKinney talks with guest Tara Mackay, Head of Global Events at The Research Club and Founder and CEO of Eventality, about the transformative power of corporate events as essential tools for networking. Mackay shares her expertise in creating meaningful experiences that foster connections and drive business results. They discuss how face-to-face events have seen increasing demand post-COVID, with more organizations hosting their own gatherings to build relationships and accelerate sales pipelines. Mackay offers valuable networking tips, explaining that successful events begin with understanding a client's core objectives—whether sustainability, brand recognition, or specific business goals—before selecting venues and planning details that align with those priorities. "Face-to-face events are proven great opportunities to speed up your sales pipeline," Mackay explains. "People work with people they like, and it's been proven successful year after year." Mackay's approach focuses on freeing clients from logistical concerns so they can concentrate entirely on addressing networking questions and building relationships during events. From finding the perfect rooftop terrace to creating "blank canvas" venues where branding can take center stage, she emphasizes how attention to detail and elements of surprise create memorable experiences that deliver a return on investment.

  • QRCA Day 3 Flyover
    2025/03/14
    *This podcast mini-series is brought to you by Multilingual Connections, enabling you to connect with your audience in their language. And if you haven’t already, check out Part One and Part Two of the QRCA series!* On this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, the Little Bird Marketing podcast, host and CEO Priscilla McKinney presents the final part of a three-part Conference Flyover from QRCA in Philadelphia. Joined by Multilingual Connections’ founder and CEO Jill Kushner Bishop, PhD, and Business Development Director Carlos Hevia, they discuss the power of conducting research in participants' native languages and how this unlocks storytelling that might otherwise remain hidden. From coordinating projects across 75+ languages to managing the complexities of cultural context, these conversations show why authentic communication matters in research. "Language doesn't just describe some preexisting reality out there in the world," Bishop explains. "We create that reality through language and we activate different areas of our identity through language. I loved in particular when we talked about being bicultural as a superpower [at the conference]." Their discussions highlight how qualitative researchers intuitively grasp language's role in revealing cultural truths. Carlos Hevia shares perspectives on what qualities seek when working internationally, while Jill Bishop details how Multilingual Connections has expanded from translation to bilingual moderation services, supporting researchers as they work in an increasingly diverse range of countries and markets.
