Welcome to the very first episode of Marketing Trends Now—the podcast that cuts through the clutter and tells you what’s actually working in digital marketing. I’m Katie Brinkley, and after 20+ years in this space, I’ve seen it all—from the rise and fall of platforms (remember Clubhouse?) to the latest algorithm shifts that throw our strategies sideways.

This episode sets the stage. You’ll hear why I started this show, what makes it different, and what you can expect every week—all in 10 minutes or less. No interviews. No clickbait. Just proven strategies, honest insights, and weekly check-ins to help you stay sharp, save time, and grow your business.

Key Takeaways:

• Why this podcast exists (and what makes it different)
• My 20-year journey from radio to digital marketing
• What you can expect in every episode
• The mindset shift smart marketers need today
• What we won’t be doing on this show
