Listen "The Rose & Rockstar: Has Marketing Lost Its Creative Heart?"
Episode Synopsis
                            Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar - with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails while our host Ian Truscott, a CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic. 
This week, over a refreshing cocktail, Ian and Robert discuss an idea Robert shared about losing creativity in B2B marketing on Goldenhour, a LinkedIn Live event with Anthony Kennada, founder of Audience Plus and three-time CMO.
Some key points from the discussion:
  
Data and processes are overshadowing creativity in marketing.
  
Many marketers are leaving the profession due to a lack of creativity.
  
AI is not solving the problem.
  
Precision in marketing can lead to mediocrity.
  
Marketers are focusing on efficiency rather than emotional connection.
If you have a question for the bar or an opinion on this week's discussion, please get in touch - just search “rockstar cmo” on the interwebs or LinkedIn.
Enjoy!
