CMO Confidential

Seth Matlins: Is the CMO Position the Hardest Job in Business?


Listen Later

A CMO Confidential Interview with Seth Matlins, Managing Director of the Forbes CMO Network, formerly Head of Cultural Strategy and Insights at Endeavor, Global CMO of Live Nation, President of Rock the Vote and Founder of CAA Marketing.

Seth discusses his recent "New year, same old Fxxkery about the marketing narrative" post, why it's harder than ever to do good marketing, why marketing needs better marketing, and the irony of marketing doubters driving to work in expensive cars and scrolling through their iPhones while questioning marketing spend. Key topics include why marketers should "think like an entrepreneur," how all marketing is performance based marketing designed to drive profitable growth, the ways marketers sabotage themselves and end up at the "little kids table," and why "tolerance for ambiguity" is so important. Tune in to hear how an octogenarian board member once demanded CMO stop running an due to an exposed navel.
