Heroes

Page 3

In our Backstage Q&A series we sit down with marketing leaders, shoot the breeze on how they got to be the rockstars and we ask them; if there was a marketing hall of fame, who would they induct?

We simply call them heroes and in no particular order – here are numbers 9 to 11…

Ted Rubin

Ted Rubin is a leading social marketing strategist, keynote speaker, Photofy CMO/advisor, MC/host for Brand Innovators Summits… Speaker, Author, Provocateur – Ted is our resident rock star.

Ted was nominated by Christine Bailey – “Because I value my network over everything, I’m going to induct Ted Rubin, for his ROR (Return on Relationship) philosophy.” and by L.Michelle Smith.

Follow Ted.

Relationships are like muscle tissue. The more they’re engaged, the stronger they become. The ability to build relationships and flex that emotional connection muscle is what makes social so valuable

Maya Angelou

As Margaret Molloy shared:

While not a traditional marketer, I’d induct poet Maya Angelou. Her quote, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel,” applies to brands and how they make people feel.

We can’t disagree…

Kieran Murphy

Sometimes it’s not a world famous marketer, retail magnate or poet that inspires us – it’s our boss. Ahmed Hussan nominated the CEO of GE Healthcare.

“He was the one that truly let me play with the tools in hand and with that we did some pretty cool things.”
