Leading marketing through tough times: Robin Daniels, Growth, Marketing & Leadership Advisor
How should marketing leaders approach the challenges of an economic downturn? It’s a big question, but one we put to Robin Daniels, our guest for this episode.
If you’ve not come across Robin before, you’ll enjoy his enthusiasm and illuminating insight on marketing, leadership and growth. He’s worked at some amazing tech companies covering Salesforce, Box, LinkedIn, WeWork as well as being CMO of Matterport when they went public in 2021.
There is plenty to take away from this chat that helps galvanise, improve, or reassure you. We talk about what marketing leaders and teams should be focusing on, how morale is impacted and as a leader what you can do, through to incremental gains, intelligent risks, and how to inspire yourself.
Enjoy.
