WII 165 – Mark Chapman’s Big Advertising News for Wedding Pros

Mark Chapman from the I Do Society talks about advertising for wedding planners

“Hold on, let me TikTok that.”

It was a simple, casual comment. But it represented a huge change in advertising – especially for wedding planners.

When Mark Chapman heard a friend say, “Let me TikTok that,” he knew he needed to come back on Wedding Industry Insider and spread the news: You need to be creating short-form content to reach clients.

The good news? Advertising with short-form videos doesn’t have to be scary and time-consuming. 

Mark is president of The I Do Society, and he’s an expert on online advertising. He’s got great insight on how couples find wedding planners online, and how you can be the pro they find and hire.
