The Inside Story with Lauren Weinberg, G...

About this episode

Square might have started as a simple point of sale app for business owners, but in recent years it has grown to be so much more. With an incredible range of products that offer business solutions of all kinds, Square has been infiltrating new markets every day.

There are many reasons Square has been so successful, and one of them is excellent marketing. As the Global Head of Marketing for Square, Lauren Weinberg has had a lot to do with that.

Most marketers will tell you that storytelling is one of, if not the most important aspects of a good marketing campaign. Lauren and Square take that belief to heart and insert meaningful and impactful stories into everything they do. And the goal is always the same: “Everyone's here to make tools and services to make it easier for small business owners to succeed,” Lauren says. “It just really is in the DNA of everything that we do.”

On this episode of Mission Daily, Lauren explains that ethos to Chad and dives into the details of how her team injects storytelling into their marketing campaigns. On social, in editorial, and even through a new video series and a foray into podcasting, Lauren is leading an expansion of marketing at Square and she’s excited to share it all.
