March 27, 2024
WITH CO-HOSTS: HEREDES RIBEIRO & COLLIN HOKE
Collin and H explore with Justin Price the nuanced challenges of church marketing, from accountability fears to the untapped potential of digital evangelism, and how to achieve impactful community engagement.

Episode Summary.

Ever felt the frustration of marketing campaigns that don't quite hit the mark in promoting your church's mission? Our latest episode zooms in on the critical issue of marketing accountability, especially within the context of church growth. We unravel the mystery behind why content should do more than just exist—it needs to breathe life into your audience and cultivate genuine engagement. Addressing the elephant in the room, we confront the fear of accountability that holds back many from results-based analysis and share insights into how enhanced inter-departmental communication can propel a church toward collective success.

Our conversation takes a compelling turn as we grapple with the delicate dance between faith and strategic marketing in expanding church communities. Can you strike a balance between trusting in divine providence and harnessing the power of advertising to reach new souls? We examine the missed opportunities churches face by not jumping onto the digital bandwagon sooner and the exciting potential that AI-enhanced marketing holds.

Wrapping up our discussion, we simplify the complex world of church marketing and operations, debunking myths about the necessity for a full-time marketing role within your church. We explore the clever use of fractional expertise to deliver effective digital marketing and share innovative strategies for repurposing existing content. The episode also demystifies the intricacies of media buying, the benefits of agency partnerships, and culturally savvy marketing tactics. Join us as we navigate the evolving landscape of church marketing, where the goal is not only to attract visitors but to nurture a thriving, hope-filled community.
