Welcome back to Tower After Hours! After our hiatus, we’re excited to get back into it and start off Season 4 in the New Year.

In today’s episode, we’ll introduce the overarching idea of Season 4: How to differentiate your marketing strategy from your marketing plan. In the rest of Season 4, we’ll hear from experts in each marketing channel as they further explain how they’re utilizing both the strategy and the plan in their day-to-day.

Stay tuned for new mini episodes from our very own Tower Team as well as some more long form episodes with special guests. Cya!

Welcome back to the final episode of Tower After Hour's Season 3: Digital Marketing Psychology. It's been such an informative and interesting season learning from only the best!

In this episode we will be discussing how words can do more than inform, they can provoke, persuade, and convert. We explore the psychology behind copywriting and content writing, from crafting FOMO-fueled headlines to using loss aversion and urgency to drive action.

The strategy of written content shifts depending on the audience and we discuss, not surprisingly, that knowing your audience is key. You'll hear insights on how the right words can tap into human behavior, create emotional responses, and ultimately, guide decision-making.

Thank you to all of our listeners, supporters, and special guests that we had on the pod this season. You all make the podcast what it is! Going forward, TAH will be taking a bit of a breather in hopes to make it even bigger and better when we return. Until then, CYA!

Color isn’t just decoration, it’s communication. In this episode with our very own Art Director, David Kimmick, we dive into the fascinating world of color psychology and how it shapes marketing strategy. From cultural and societal influences to the emotional impact of specific hues, we explore how color can evoke trust, urgency, calm, or excitement and how those feelings translate into brand perception and consumer behavior. Whether you're designing your brand from scratch or just wondering why blue builds trust and red sells fast, this episode paints the full picture.

Welcome back to Tower After Hours!

Today, we’re diving into something that every marketer is feeling but few have fully wrapped their heads around: the evolving complexity of the sales funnel in the age of information overload.

We’re thrilled to be joined by Tina Bartos, Director of Sales for Nook Meeting and Events, who's giving us valuable insight into how the customer journey has changed, and how we can be tackling these challenges head-on in a world where attention is fleeting and choices are endless.

We’ll explore how today’s buyer journeys are anything but linear, why trust and timing matter more than ever, and how to meet your audience where they are — without getting lost in the clutter.

Welcome back to another episode in our Digital Marketing Psychology season! Today, we’re diving into the ever-evolving world of social media—where trends shift overnight, algorithms keep us on our toes, and strategy is everything.

If you’re a Lancaster local—or just looking for fun things to do in the city—you might have come across Decades and the incredible work of Tony Gorick on their social media. We sat down with Tony to unpack the secrets behind social algorithms, effective strategies, and staying ahead of the hottest trends. Decades is a Lancaster City favorite, and its standout social presence plays a huge role in drawing people in.

Let’s get into it!

Welcome back to Season 3 of Tower After Hours!

To kick off our new season discussing Digital Marketing Psychology we needed to start with the basics: Understanding Your Audience.

Consumer decisions aren’t random—they’re shaped by emotion, logic, scarcity, authority, and more. But one of the biggest mistakes businesses make? Focusing on themselves instead of their audience. If you don’t truly understand your customers—their needs, wants, and expectations—they’ll scroll right past you.
So we are joined by the experts in collecting and analyzing this consumer data. Berwood Yost and Scottie Thompson-Buckland from the Franklin & Marshall, Center for Opinion Research, answer all our burning questions about how really understand your audience and the methods to accomplish it. Let's dive in!

Welcome to a very new season of Tower After Hours. We’re jumping into season 3, Digital Marketing Psychology: Standing Out in a Saturated Industry. So over the next few episodes, we’ll be looking at the relationship that psychology plays in digital marketing.

Talking with both external guests from different backgrounds and also gathering Tower's internal insights, we are going to do a deep dive on how psychology and marketing work together and the impacts that it has on us as consumers.

You can find a new episode of Tower After Hours every last Thursday of the month where you listen to podcasts. Alright, cya!

As the year 2024 comes to an end, so does our second season of Tower After Hours. Thank you to all who have listened along the way and heard from our amazing guests this season. We hope you were just as inspired as all of us here at TAH.
This final episode we're joined by an incredible guest who brings all the holiday cheer. Josh Henry, Co-Owner of Lamphouse was able to join the pod to talk about his passion for film, visual storytelling, and his home here in Lancaster County. We learn not only about his impressive projects, but of course had to get the deets on his Holiday Traditions.
We'll see you next year (and in season 3). Alright, cya! ✨
