Simplifying Marketing Copy with Brad Hoppmann – CMO of InvestorPlace

July 8, 2021

“How do you take a huge investing idea like cryptocurrency and explain it to a fourth grader? If you can do that in a campaign and make it so easy… make the promotion so readable that even a fourth grader can understand it… that is what we’ve found to be the most successful for us.” 

Brad Hoppmann

CMO, InvestorPlace

In this episode of Digital Marketing Swipe File, Eric welcomes Brad Hoppmann, CMO at InvestorPlace, to talk about his approach to developing and implementing a strong marketing strategy while sharing tips on how to make your marketing campaign easily understandable and scalable.

“If a fourth grader can understand it, it can scale… If a promotion is too targeted, you just can’t scale it.”                                                                          – Brad Hoppmann
