This month’s issue is named after a genuine classic album, at least here in the UK, or maybe just here in the Rockstar CMO penthouse! It’s Soul II Soul’s 1989 album Club Classics Volume One.
Why this album this month? Well, it’s for the track “Keep on movin'” that captures the theme of this month’s issue, as we hopefully enter the tail end of the worst of the pandemic, and cautiously get back to marketing.
Our Rockstar CMOs and writers have served up some fantastic advice this month. From what the pandemic has taught us that we need to keep doing, some tips on virtual events and personal branding, to how to prepare for what is likely to be uncertain economic times. Plus, all the usual shenanigans.
So, welcome to THE CLUB CLASSICS VOLUME ONE ISSUE.
