Will Yang - Live from the SocialEast Vault
Recorded live at SocialEast 2025 in Halifax, this episode of the Marketing News Canada podcast features guest host Odum Idika sitting down with Will Yang, Founder of Differo, to define what modern content creation really looks like.
Will breaks down his approach to “pocket production” and explains why your smartphone may be the most powerful marketing tool you already own. From simple three-shot storytelling techniques to why audio clarity matters more than cinematic visuals, he shares practical ways brands of any size can start creating authentic, story-driven content that performs on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels.'
The conversation also explores why polished ads often underperform on social, how Gen Z consumes content differently, and why showing up imperfectly is better than not showing up at all.
A reminder that great marketing is not about better gear. It is about better stories.
