The Rose & Rockstar: The Marketing Bar Tab – Rockstar CMO FM

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, the chaps discuss the complexities of marketing budgets, the importance of setting pragmatic marketing strategies, and the concept of lean marketing teams.  They explore various budgeting methods, the challenges of aligning marketing goals with financial realities, and the need for marketing to be viewed as a strategic investment rather than a cost center, the perceptions of marketing within organizations, and the implications of these views on budget allocation and strategic decision-making. 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.

I love everything about this show!
Where do I begin? I love Rockstar CMO. It’s a regular Saturday listen for me. Ian and Jeff have insightful back and forth conversations about the issues of the day, which in an of itself is a great pod. But then there’s a guest … sometimes two … with smarts to share. Then Robert Rose comes in and talks content over a cocktail? It’s like a variety show for marketers. Super smart. Great energy. Brilliant all the way around.
