Kajabi Tackles Imposter Syndrome in Hilarious New Ad Campaign: 'Get Out Of Your Own Way'
New ad campaign marks Kajabi's first national marketing effort spanning across broadcast and digital
IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kajabi, an industry-leading all-in-one knowledge commerce platform, announced its first-ever national ad campaign, 'Get Out Of Your Own Way,' to address the unparalleled and prevalent entrepreneurial challenges of imposter syndrome. The 'Get Out Of Your Own Way' campaign attacks imposter syndrome through a collection of 17 unique video assets. Each video is grounded in light-hearted candor between the main character and their 'inner critic' while aiming to destigmatize the self-doubt and inadequacy faced by entrepreneurs when launching or growing their own business. Examples of the ads from the campaign can be seen here.
With many digital entrepreneurs serving as their own worst critic, the 'Get Out Of Your Own Way' campaign sets out to inspire them to start building or scaling their online business. Whether it's choosing a niche, recording their first online course, or hitting 'send' on a marketing email, their run-ins with imposter syndrome can negatively impact their journey to success. By balancing comedy and inspiration, Kajabi's playfully relatable campaign captures the physical manifestation of an entrepreneur's inner critic quite literally 'getting out of their own way.' These inner critics come to life through constant attempts to discourage the entrepreneur, prank them, or sabotage their efforts. In the end, the inner critic is no match for the all-in-one simplicity and accessibility of Kajabi.
"In a world where imposter syndrome is such a heavy subject and natural barrier to success for many entrepreneurs, it's refreshing to open up the dialogue in a humorous tone to help ease and overcome the associated anxieties many face when starting an online business," said Orlando Baeza, Chief Marketing Officer, Kajabi. "This campaign challenges budding and established entrepreneurs alike to pay no mind to their inner critic, and instead realize they already possess all the tools they need to operate a successful online business. With the addition of Kajabi, of course."
Developed with creative agency Observatory, the 'Get Out Of Your Own Way' campaign will be distributed nationally across traditional broadcast, OTT, and an array of additional digital platforms.
"The Kajabi community is a tight-knit group who are incredibly supportive of one another and the topic of imposter syndrome is a regular discussion amongst the group," noted Linda Knight, Chief Creative Officer, Observatory. "Creatively, we wanted to demonstrate that Kajabi is accessible and relatable, and encourage entrepreneurs that they can do this and Kajabi can help."
Deeply rooted in the knowledge commerce sector, Kajabi caters directly to those looking to turn what they know into what they do. The 'Get Out Of Your Own Way' campaign launches as online learning becomes increasingly more commonplace, propelling the knowledge commerce industry towards exponential growth. Whether they are looking to earn more income on the side or eager to go all in, today's knowledge entrepreneurs are tapping into a global market with unlimited potential. The campaign also aligns with Kajabi's most momentous year, in which they've doubled their revenue year-over-year, while remaining profitable.
