Topics for Katrina McCarter

  • Your new superpower: Partnerships
    Of the thousands of ways you could change up your business in 2021, there’s one strategy which will grow it fastest with the lowest spend: partnerships.

    In one of her two fields of international expertise, Katrina tells how a lucky punt—joining forces with another business for a competition—was the major revelation in her decades of business. It saw her grow a community from zero to 150,000 in five years with less than $300 per month spent on marketing.

    Now she believes all businesses are one strong partnership away from the success they desire. In this presentation, she outlines her Spice Girl Syndrome theory, how to identify potential partners and how to pitch, why big business loves teaming with solo entrepreneurs, the template to sealing the deal and the five benefits of partnership (plus the one big partnerships no-no.)

  • Brand survival in the digital age
    Consumer behaviour has evolved at warp speed, and thanks to the technological pivots handed to us by 2020’s work from home imperatives, consumers are more empowered, informed and equipped than ever before to make savvy buying decisions. Despite information overload, consumers have developed and refined impeccable skills for filtering information and making smart choices.

    So, with a smartphone at every consumer’s fingertips, an Apple watch on their arm and a Smart Speaker in their home, all supplying a never ending wave of content, the question brands need to ask is: how do we break through the clutter and be a welcome and relevant visitor to their screen or speaker?

    In this presentation, Katrina will reveal the arrival of the lucrative and under-served Tech-First consumer, and share five marketing strategies to capture their valuable attention and their business. Hear critical research-based insights into this growing and influential market and understand how you can adapt to this agile, tech reliant generation of consumers.

    In this presentation, Katrina shares the five biggest opportunities in the Mum market—Single Mums, Invisible Mums, Immigrant Mums, Tech-First Mums and Grandmothers.

Testimonials for Katrina McCarter

About a year ago, I was lucky enough to attend one of Katrina’s courses at ADMA. Over a series of in-depth teaching days, I learned a great deal about digital marketing. I don’t say that lightly: I have been working in social and digital marketing for over ten years now, and I find the majority of training to be too light-on for me, or frustratingly out of date. What drives me to recommend Katrina is the fact that over the past twelve months, I have returned again and again to my notes and the extensive, thoughtful learning packs Katrina provided, and have also become hooked on her podcast. Katrina really is on the ball with digital and especially content that resonates on the true, human level. If you are considering working with her, do. Your work will be better and more enjoyable for it.

Katrina recently ran a Marketing to Mums Masterclass around the country for ProVision Eye Care, helping our member optometry practices with a practical marketing framework to better target their identified most profitable mum, based on market research Katrina coordinated. Katrina’s approach was warm, highly professional, approachable and completely tailored to our audience. 200 attendees scored the Masterclass a 9.4/10! The most pleasing part? We have seen participants implement recommendations from the very next day!

We were fortunate enough to have Katrina McCarter conduct a marketing workshop at our 2019 Annual Franchisee Conference. I had listened to Katrina’s podcasts, read her ‘Marketing to Mums’ book and listened to her speak in the past and thought Katrina’s extensive research and marketing tips would be perfect for my franchisees. Being in the kids activity industry, continuous marketing strategies are key to keeping our customers coming through the door. Unfortunately, local area marketing is also an area of the business that franchisees really struggle with. Katrina clearly explained key mistakes that marketers make when focusing on mums and gave us lots of strategies to be able to increase our marketing reach. As mums constitute 95% of our target market this information was so vital to our overall marketing strategies. 98% of franchisees were ‘extremely satisfied’ with the relevant content covered in Katrina’s workshop! ‘We loved having the stats and facts behind why we were implementing each of the strategies and we really feel that we understand mums - our target market so much more after the workshop’. Franchisees loved that they were given a workbook that they could take away with them and reflect on how they could improve their individual marketing plans. I could not recommend Katrina highly enough. If mums are your target market - you MUST talk to Katrina!

Katrina has been an excellent addition to our line up for our first ever Mums Marketing Conference, held in Sydney and Melbourne, 2017. She was pivotal in helping us launch the conference into the market by utilising her own networks for promotion and also by reaching out to a number of her own contacts personally too. At the event itself Katrina delivered our highest rated talk at both events, it was excellent. Katrina was voted the number 1 most engaging speaker AND number 1 most informative, we will definitely be inviting her back next year! I can’t rate Katrina high enough for your event, she is the upmost professional and a genuine pleasure to work with.

I had the pleasure of moderating a panel session on Marketing to the Modern Family with Katrina McCarter of Marketing to Mums at the Mumbrella Travel Summit in 2017. Katrina’s role was to provide insight for the travel industry into more effective ways to connect with the most important decision makers for Australian families: Mums. Katrina’s knowledge, insight and experience with this key target audience were vital to the success of the session - the most highly rated of the event. Katrina not only understands this market in depth, but was able to translate this into clear and practical recommendations for the audience in an articulate and eloquent fashion. I’d recommend Katrina to anyone looking to have an effective and knowledgeable speaker on the topic of marketing to Mums.

I had the pleasure on programming Katrina into the content for ad:tech Sydney and I am really pleased I did. Her delivery was polished and insightful. In a world where technology is personalising everything around us, it is important that marketers think about different segments deeply and clearly and if you are marketing to Mums, Katrina is your lady. I recommend her to anyone who needs to make meaningful connections to Mums.

Katrina’s first-hand knowledge and expertise in the area of marketing and branding was of great value to our audience of 80 business owners in the kids’ activity and party industry.
