On today's episode of Authentic Influence, Adam Conner is joined by Melanie Chase, the Chief Marketing Officer of Next Insurance. Next Insurance is an online insurance provider for small businesses and contractors. This is also Melanie's first ever podcast!

Today, you'll learn:

• Why Melanie joined Next after years in CPG and tech; how Next's offering makes it similar to a more stereotypical consumer brand

• COVID's undeniable inordinate impact on small business and entrepreneurs; what they'll learn the most from this crisis

• How Next is contributing to the community; in particular, their Built by Business campaign, which repurposed funds from big agencies to stand up small business

• How Next captures stories of its policy holders, and leverages them in its messaging

• As always, advice to build a more authentic brand
