Best Brands on Earth, from the Clios

After 30 years on the agency side — including the Subaru turnaround and a long run at Carmichael Lynch — Marcus Fischer took his first client-side job as Chief Brand Officer of Harley-Davidson. He'd never ridden a motorcycle in his life.Nine months in, he joins Matt and Hayley to talk about what he found on the inside of a 125-year-old American icon: a dealer network that customers visit just to hang out on a Saturday, riders who tattoo the logo on their bodies, and five years of marketing imagery so dark and brooding it had stopped inviting anyone in. His first creative brief at Daytona Bike Week was three words: "I want to see teeth."We get into the "Ride" platform and why it launched globally without translation, bringing back the full bar and shield, why the outlaw image is dated (and the core riders agree), the museum tank wall as a lesson in individuality inside a tribe, and the feedback loop between factory and rider that he says is faster than any brand he's worked on. Plus: the t-shirt test, main character energy, and why you can't logic anyone into riding a motorcycle.00:00:00 - Intro: Welcome Marcus Fischer, Chief Brand Officer00:02:24 - Mystery Shopping at Harley Dealerships00:06:18 - The Shift from Agency to Brand Owner00:10:36 - What Surprised Marcus Most About Harley-Davidson00:13:23 - Learning to Ride & The Motorcycle Community00:16:06 - "I Want to See Teeth": Bringing Joy & Swagger Back00:24:37 - "Back to the Bricks": Innovating a 125-Year-Old Heritage00:30:40 - The Global "Ride" Platform & Immediate Feedback00:37:00 - Can Harley-Davidson Expand Beyond Motorcycles?00:43:04 - Audacious Goals & Reclaiming "Main Character Energy"00:48:47 - Crumbs of Wisdom: The Fortune Cookie Segment00:54:56 - The Brands That Inspire Harley-Davidson's Team00:59:46 - Why Harley-Davidson is the Best Brand on Earth01:01:34 - Outro: Hosts Debrief & Final Thoughts #HarleyDavidson #BrandStrategy #Marketing #BestBrandsOnEarth #ChiefBrandOfficer #BrandBuilding #MarketingPodcast #Branding #Advertising #MarcusFischer #MotorcycleCulture #AmericanBrands #CreativeStrategy #BrandMarketing #Podcast

Cordell Broadus walked away from a UCLA football scholarship — twice — to build his own path. Now he's the creative director behind Doctor Bombay Ice Cream, the hip-hop inspired brand he co-founded with his father Snoop Dogg that's grown into an eight-figure business sold in Walmart and 7-Eleven.
