The Educating the Buyer and AI’s Impact on Marketing Jobs Episode
This week, former Forrester Research Director, Jeff Clark, is back in the studio for a discussion with our host Ian Truscott about buyer education, inspired by an article by Kerry Cunningham, of 6Sense: “Buyers are not blank slates”, and give it the 5 f’in’ things treatment.
They discuss:
-
Some categories still need basic education
-
Keep the education grounded
-
Present your unique POV on how to solve buyer challenges
-
Do buyers want to be experts?
-
Campaigns need to master “answer engine optimization”
Ian then joins Robert Rose in the virtual bar, The Rose & Rockstar, for a classic cocktail and a chat.
This week, Ian and Robert discuss the latest article from Robert in his Rose Colored Glasses Series on the Content Marketing Institutes blog - The Ghost Workforce: How AI Is Reshaping Content and Marketing Roles in 2026
Enjoy!
