Daniel and Ciaran are back to kick off 2022 with a fresh look at planning and priorities. For the first time, we recorded this episode on video so those of you who want to watch it - now can!  Daniel shares his ongoing vision of creation before curation. We explore setting some effective and smart goals and objectives for your year ahead. We also explore some of the new technologies marketers need to understand. We also have quite a heated debate on cookies and the web's reliance on them.  Also under discussion on crypto and NFC’s, Daniel rails against ciaran multiple times to convince him that NFC’s are hugely important but in the end, comes to the conclusion he may be banging his head against a brick wall on that front. Finally, we wrap up with some sources of inspiration for looking at your work differently. Daniel shares with us his appreciation of Agile Marketing Management, OKR’s, Project Oxygen. Dig into the resources he shares and invigorate your year ahead with some fresh perspective.
