SBP 014: Is Marketing in Trouble?

Listen Later

Marketing. It's meant to be at the core of every business, bridging the gap between product and customer. In this episode of the sleeping barber podcast, our hosts Marc Binkley and Vassilis Douros debate if our discipline is at a crossroads. They discuss a myriad of topics covering the lack of identity of our discipline, CMO tenure, and even misguided marketing perspectives. This episode will leave you reflecting on what you, as a practitioner, can do differently and how to better adopt evidence-based decision-making.

Enjoy the show.
