The Confessions of a CMO and Plural Brands Episode

This week, former Forrester Research Director, and now champion of clean technology, Jeff Clark, and our host Ian Truscott discuss a fun research paper from one of Ian’s favourite podcasts, Uncensored CMO and agency network Worldwide Partner titled “Confessions of a CMO”. 

As is the editorial policy of the show, they pick 5 f’in’ things that jumped out of this work:

• The CMO needs to be the voice of the customer

• Trading authority for influence

• When chaos reigns, stabilize the ship

• The long and the short of it

• The death of the CMO is wildly overstated

Then Ian joins Robert Rose in the virtual bar, The Rose & Rockstar, for a chat about a recent article he published on the Content Marketing Institute blog, part of a series discussing plural brands and earning attention one room at a time.   

If you have any comments or thoughts on this topic, we would love to hear them!

Enjoy!
