Episode 221 - How To Turn A Niche Audience Into A Loyal Brand Community
Episode 221
Tuesday, 10 February, 2026

Are you investing in marketing but still feel like your niche audience isn't turning into a truly loyal, engaged community? Join Brad Friedman and Ondar Tarlow as they break down how to differentiate a "commoditized" business, build trust through your digital and in-person experience, and use data and AI to turn attention into long term customer relationships. Ondar Tarlow is a marketing strategist and brand partnerships leader with more than 20 years of experience helping small, medium, and corporate businesses grow. He has built brands and customer experiences across financial services, lifestyle, and sports, and has led marketing as Chief Marketing Officer at Pacific Premier Bank. As CMO, Ondar helped forge a major partnership with the Los Angeles Chargers as they moved from San Diego to LA, integrating the bank into everything from game day experiences to digital campaigns while also serving as the team's primary banking relationship. Today, he runs marketing consulting for Zero Nation, a youth culture focused brand and talent collective that connects companies with Gen Z and Gen Alpha across action sports, gaming, fashion, and entertainment.
