  • Quirks Chicago Flyover

    Quirks Chicago Flyover
    2026/04/17
    The conference floor doesn't lie. Neither does the gap between what brands think they know about their consumers and what's actually happening. On this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, the Little Bird Marketing podcast, host and CEO Priscilla McKinney hits the floor at Quirks Chicago to do what she does best: getting the real conversations going. This flyover captures the ideas, tensions, and candid moments that don't always make it into the keynotes, from the AI measurement gap hiding inside the consumer path to purchase, to what it actually means to do research with kids, to a major industry merger that changes the terrain for data quality and platform integration. One fault line keeps surfacing across every booth and every exchange. The industry has never had more tools to study human behavior. Yet somehow, the most important signals – emotional, linguistic, behavioral – keep slipping through. Brands confidently measure clicks and conversions while an entirely invisible layer of consumer decision-making unfolds inside the black box of AI interfaces. Language is research design, not a logistics detail, and the audiences that get left out of studies entirely (children, senior B2B decision-makers, multilingual consumers) represent a category of insight that standard methods simply cannot reach. The brands that get this right start with language. The ones that don't are making a persona development mistake with compounding consequences. "Language is left for an afterthought," Jill Kushner Bishop explains. "And when you do that, you run the risk of missing out on so many essential insights." The merger news, the platform demos, the GLP-1 shopper data, the agentic commerce conversation, none of it lands the same way once you've heard what's actually being said on the ground at Quirks Chicago. There are 11 voices in this episode, and every one of them is pointing at a version of the same problem from a different angle.

  • The Mental Fitness Practice of a World Champion Freediver

    The Mental Fitness Practice of a World Champion Freediver
    2026/03/20
    The gap between surviving and performing is not a mindset shift. It is a physiological one. On this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, the Little Bird Marketing podcast, host and CEO Priscilla McKinney sits down with Helena Bourdillon, four-time World Champion freediver and four-time World Record holder, whose path from the depths of depression to the depths of the ocean reframes what it actually means to perform under pressure. Bourdillon's work spans elite sport, clinical mental health recovery, and professional breathwork instruction, and what she brings to high-stakes sector audiences is not a wellness program. It is something far more comprehensive than that. Most organizations address stress at the surface. They offer flexibility perks, mental health days, and well-intentioned check-ins that treat symptoms while the root system goes untouched. But mental fitness is different from mental wellness. The architecture of the practice is built on science-backed tools that retrain the nervous system rather than soothe it. The distinction matters because leaders and teams that skip this foundation do not plateau. They erode. And no marketing performance metrics or customer insights dashboard will surface the real reason why. What freediving reveals is that the body and the mind must be in alignment, or performance becomes friction. Bourdillon speaks to a state she calls "quiet clarity," and what she says next is worth sitting with. "When we can do it from that place we are so much more present for ourselves," Bourdillon explains, "for what we're doing, so we actually get it done a lot faster and a lot better and more importantly we are there for the people around us, some who might really need us." The tools that produce quiet clarity are not complex. That is precisely what makes them easy to dismiss and costly to ignore. Bourdillon's five science-backed tools are the kind of thing a 15-year-old could learn and a seasoned executive has likely never tried.

Sponsors: Priscilla McKinney is not just a CEO; she is also a LinkedIn Influencer. The reality is that very few people are using LinkedIn efficiently or effectively, and if you’re not careful, social media can become a black hole. When you emerge, you find you wound up in a place you never intended to go and you’re wondering where all the time went. Time is precious, and trying to be everything to everyone means becoming nothing to no one. That's why she's developed a transformative 12-week course that goes beyond basic tips and tricks – teaching you how to build a strategic network and create stellar content that cuts through the LinkedIn noise.

  • Stop Posting, Start Distributing

    Stop Posting, Start Distributing
    2026/03/13
    *This episode of Ponderings from the Perch is brought to you by PatientSight, an agile primary research service providing timely medical insights of interest to your organization.* For most B2B companies, the problem is not creating content. The problem, instead, is distributing content. On this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, the Little Bird Marketing content marketing podcast, host and CEO Priscilla McKinney draws a hard line between two things that are not interchangeable and not even close to the same thing. B2B teams that have published well-researched, well-written, and genuinely useful content only to hear nothing back will recognize the gap most people are too uncomfortable to admit exists in their own organization. Posting and distributing are not the same thing, and the difference between them is not subtle. Most b2b digital marketing efforts are built backwards, and the real weight of a social media marketing strategy has very little to do with what gets published and everything to do with what happens next. Earning the right to ask before ever making an ask sounds like common sense until you look at how few teams actually operate that way. "Content creation is about 30% of the work and distribution is about 70%," McKinney explains. "And honestly, most people are doing it absolutely backwards." Good content and a good audience are not enough if the two never actually meet. That tension sits at the center of every B2B marketing conversation worth having, and it is the one that most teams keep deferring. The content is not the problem. The question is what happens to it after it exists. Music written and performed by Leighton Cordell. Sponsors: Ever feel like your marketing plan is just... meh?
