It was the greatest pleasure interviewing this week's guest, and I'll tell you why
This isn't my first time interviewing MJ, we did an interview almost 2 years ago for Conversation With Marketers
I've watched MJ grow over the years from being a marketing leader to a business leader that happens to be in a marketing function (huge difference)
And how that has helped the trajectory of her career
So of course I wanted her to talk more about that transition and what...

I'm not gonna lie, this is one of those episodes I knew was going to be good but I didn't expect it to be this good!
I've said Marketers should learn non-marketing functions that align with their role to have a better perspective of how marketing fits into the bigger picture and I don't think there is anyone else I've met that embodies that more than my next guest Megan Bowen
She's held positions in Operations, Customer Success, Sales and Marketing, so it was truly...

As Marketers we struggle to prove our value at a C-Suite level because we seem to be stuck in what I call the Marketing Bubble. Now what is the Marketing Bubble?
Think of it as there is an enclosed space where only beliefs that are held and shared amongst Marketers are considered to be right and correct
The issue with this, it creates a mindset where we focus more on blaming than finding creative solutions
It takes away accountability from us and places it on...

One of the main reasons I've seen why Marketers find it difficult to demonstrate and communicate marketing's value is because we don't use data enough to justify why we make certain decisions we do
We tend to focus only on having a marketing perspective and so struggle with having business acumen necessary to play at a C-Suite level
This is why I love this episode with Cassidy Shield, SVP of Marketing and Sales at Narrative Science

So I'm not a believer that B2B should copy what B2C does in every aspect
However, there is one aspect I believe B2B Marketers should and that is thinking about and executing their marketing in a way that drives the entire funnel and not just the top
This is something most B2C Marketers have to think about, as often there isn't a sales team or sales reps to make that happen
For B2B this means not only focusing on building brand, or even stopping at generating...

Is it true that CEOs don't get marketing? Or is it as Marketers we've become less accountable to business outcomes in the name of fluff?

There's a huge trend on LinkedIn around CEOs not getting marketing and he talks about it all

Here's the brutal truth about marketing most don't want to admit
Marketing is only seen as valuable at a C-Suite level if it helps the company make money or save money
That's it!
Sure we can talk about vanity metrics, how not everything in marketing can be measured or "My CEO doesn't get marketing"
Even if it can't be measured directly you should still find a way how you can tie it back to business outcomes
Take Brand for example
Many say brand can't be...
