Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar – with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, fractional marketing leader and author, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving a fabulous weekend cocktail while our host Ian Truscott, a CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic. 

This week, ignoring the advice of Mark Twain to never discuss politics or religion in polite company, the chaps tackle brands navigating the politicization of everything. 

They discuss:

  • Brands must navigate the politicization of just about eveything
  • Aligning with political figures can risk brand identity
  • Examples of brands that have tripped over this
  • Employees should have guidelines for personal social media 
  • Brands need to define and stick to an authentic stance

Do you have a question for the bar? Or maybe an opinion on what we’ve discussed? Please get in touch – just search “rockstar cmo” on the interwebs or LinkedIn.

Enjoy!
