The Rose & Rockstar: Has Marketing Lost Its Creative Heart?

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!
