Sleeping Barber - A Marketing Podcast

SBP 019: Marketing Trends You Shouldn't Listen to, with Tom Goodwin

Listen Later

Episode 19 is here, and it's a good one! 

We host Tom Goodwin, an advertising and media provocateur, speaker, and consultant. He is the author of the book Digital Darwinism which is now in its second edition. He answers our questions regarding marketing trends lists, why they don't change much over time, what is simply noise, and we even get into elements of his book.  

This is a thought-provoking episode that you should make time for. 

Enjoy the show!
