Listen "Brand News: Avoiding Short-Termism in Modern Marketing Strategies"
Episode Synopsis
Struggling to strike the perfect balance between brand-building and performance marketing? Uncover the nuanced challenges that modern marketers face as they navigate shrinking budgets and an increasing demand for immediate results. In this episode, we take a closer look at why many CMOs and marketing teams are drawn into a cycle of short-termism, often at the expense of long-term brand equity. By sharing insights from a compelling AdNews article, we highlight the critical yet often overlooked consequences of sidelining brand-building activities in favor of bottom-of-funnel lead capture campaigns. Join us as we explore the evidence showing that a heavy reliance on performance marketing can erode baseline sales, pushing brands into a “sea of sameness” and diminishing their unique value propositions. We offer a roadmap for marketing professionals to communicate better with finance decision-makers, ensuring both brand and demand generation find their rightful place in media plans. Whether you're a seasoned CMO or an aspiring marketing strategist, this episode equips you with actionable strategies to maintain a balanced approach—essential for sustainable growth even in the toughest economic climates.The Digital Horizons Podcast is hosted by:James Walker - Managing Director WHDBrian Hastings - Managing Director Nous
