Louis Grenier, Everyone Hates Marketers
Louis Grenier is the Founder of the excellent Everyone Hates Marketers, the podcast with nearly a million downloads, and organisation that fights marketing bullshit.
This is a super exciting time for Louis as recently he announced he is departing his full time role at Hotjar to take Everyone Hates Marketers full time, which is not only richly earned, but very exciting for the whole marketing community.
As a listener of Everyone Hates Marketers, we’ve come to admire Louis for three reasons. 1. His direct interviewing style that gets the most out of his guest. 2. The guests themselves – we look enviously at the two episodes he has done with Seth Godin – the first of which Seth stated that Louis provided the most invigorating podcast intro he had experienced for a long time. And 3. Louis’ consistent focus on finding not just ‘things that work’ but ‘things that work consistently for a long time’ – I..e. a pursuit of marketing truth.
Louis Grenier’s talks with The Marketing Meetup:
