The discussion with Lori Brokaw Stout on redefining partner relationships is noteworthy. Her focus on quality over quantity in partnerships and ensuring mutual benefit challenges traditional metrics-driven approaches. This strategy of aligning partner values with company culture could significantly enhance B2B ecosystem effectiveness. #CMO #ChiefMarketingOfficer #podcast #B2B #C-Suite #B2BContent #B2BMarketing #B2BSales #PartnershipStrategy #ChannelMarketing #B2BEcosystem #ValueAlignment

I'm nervous about tomorrow, but it gave me a little extra comfort to weigh in on this year's election. CBS Sunday Morning News was a chance to go mainstream with the perspective I can bring. I got the "walk and talk" shot with David Pogue and I got emails from my family and friends who watch the show. In this business I'm in, we're responsible for help shaping messages and experiences that define what people think about brands. Hopefully based on a truth. Can't say the truth piece feels quite as true anymore for political ads. Although that was probably debatable about marketing as a whole, unfortunately. And It's harder than ever to unify people around a message-- we've moved beyond the broad message to much more niche. In many ways good because there was an assumed bigger perspective that left many out. But we're also losing a shared narrative, which makes truth impossible. And in media today we must navigate the complexity of platforms and subculture to try to align people around a set of values and beliefs, if not a message. We must try and break through peoples' bubbles-- that they aren't even aware they are a part of. Or maybe they are and don't care. Luckily with brands we still have to play the long game. So we haven't gone all negative. We need to build the brand over time. In politics, fear of what could happen can be more unifying than the hope and belief of real change. It's an all or nothing for candidates, so they have to go all in. They don't just have a low sales quarter. The winner of the election controls the next 4 years. The loser gets nothing. However while fear can serve as a unifier or at least a barrier to voting for your opponent, it doesn’t work as well as a motivator for most. I just hope we've given people enough to show up for: pride, hope, optimism, joy--belief that moving forward is a good thing.

This is a great perspective on the "path to purchase." In this latest report, Mars United Commerce presents a new approach to the classic “path to purchase” that starts with shopper mindsets rather than the more traditional focus on behaviors or tactics in this latest report.

#CauseAndEffect #BurdenOfProof #BetterSafeThanSorry Unsolicited advice for advertisers making claims about net-zero emissions, bamboo products, or recyclability: Until there is clarity on what qualifies as an “internationally recognized methodology,” it’s probably best to stop making environmental claims - not just in the oil and gas sector -, or have a chat with legal.

NUMBERS DON’T LIE: Retail Media is on the rise. At this years #possible24 the continued rise of retail media wove its way through plenty of on-stage conversations. From Diana Haussling discussing how Colgate-Palmolive is addressing a true omni-channel approach, to Vinny Rinaldi, Evan Hovorka and Dave Kersey discussing how budgets are blending outside of just trade dollars into the RMN eco-system. Newly released data would indicate that the opportunity is in fact at hand for brands, agencies and retail media groups to collectively drive sales against working ad dollars. So how does that change the potential mix of media and who benefits the most?

Interesting difference in the dominant reason for marketing spending being impacted for CMO's of B2B vs. B2C, especially as it relates to corporate performance being the primary driver. What do you think might be missing from this list?

Target - the ongoing saga of mismanagement. Was at a Target store in Riverhead, Long Island. Saw trail mix on sale for $7.99 instead of the regular price of $8.79. Since I basically have to scan for price everything I buy at Target I ran the product under the scanner. It came up $8.79 so I had to have the price adjusted when checking out. Several days later I was at another Target store in Medford on Long Island and checked the price just for the heck of it. Same problem. Think about how many people buy products at Target thinking they are paying a listed price and not realizing it is priced wrong. This is an ongoing problem.

Currently reading Sam Walton’s memoir, "Made in America," and I loved this quote from former Walmart CEO David Glass describing Walton. These qualities have become so important to embrace over the years. Running an agency, growing with the team, and refining how we serve clients is a constant process of trial, error, and adaptation. It means showing up every day with a mindset of improvement, trying new things, and having the courage to pivot when things don’t work out. Like Sam, I’ve learned that failure and being wrong are essential parts of growth. Without that mindset, missteps or feedback could hold you back from progress—and sometimes, you’re on the edge of something great. It’s about asking: What’s the takeaway? How can we do better? This past year has had its challenges, but it’s been full of reflection and refinement. I’ve spent more time in one-on-ones with the team, gathering feedback, and figuring out how we can improve for both clients and each other. We’re experimenting, making educated guesses, and adapting from missteps and surprises. I know not everything will go as planned, but staying flexible is key. It’s equally important to instill this mindset within the team to keep morale and momentum strong. Having a vision and setting goals is important, but loving the process and enjoying the journey is what makes it all worthwhile.
