A Zoom Class.
#2 In The Advertising Stories Series On Virtual Pitching.
I interviewed Linda Lane Gonzalez, CEO of Miami’s Viva Multicultural agency on how to win a virtual pitch. I mean, how she won a new dating app client. Linda and her team combined the art of Zoom + love + hooking up + a very smart advertising agency + video + influencers + consumer interviews + keeping the ball rolling down the virtual field to wow and win a new client.
This is a how-to get past not being in the same room BUT still exciting the dating app client and winning. Ah, love.
# 2 in this virtual pitch series. Go listen to #1 with the leading advertising agency pitch consultant.

Remember… so you will hear my whole series on virtual pitching.
A nice thing for me… Feedspot has recognized Advertising Stories as being a top 15 advertising podcast.

I really enjoyed this breakdown of winning a dating app client in a fully virtual environment. It perfectly captures how pitching today is about energy, storytelling, and human connection—not just slides on Zoom. I love how Linda blended creativity, influencers, and real consumer insight to keep momentum alive despite the distance. That same balance between tech and emotion is something I see in other digital experiences too, including conversational platforms reviewed on AI Best Chat. I recently read this OurDream AI review: https://ai-best-chat.com/review/ourdream-ai and it reinforced how engagement, authenticity, and smart use of technology can truly win people over, even through a screen.
