your monthly hit of marketing street knowledge
THE LONDON CALLING ISSUE
JANUARY 2019
Tis the season and all that and we’ve crammed a whole lot into the stocking that is this month’s issue of Rockstar CMO. Going with the theme of communication, we plucked from our record box the classic “London Calling” by the Clash – so welcome to the London Calling Issue.
We have some fantastic new articles, Ted Rubin tells it straight as usual, we pay our second visit to the Green Room where we play secret Santa, we welcome back Casey Peterson who is becoming a regular in the band, I go backstage with the awesome L. Michelle Smith for a Q&A that is not to be missed and we launch our Hall of Fame.
Enjoy this issue!
