CIM Marketing Podcast CIM | The Chartered Institute of Marketing

The building blocks of a modern marketer are varied and complex, but curiosity, creativity and passion are certainly a good place to start. In this episode, we discuss the profiles of two highly accomplished marketing leaders to find out what characteristics are crucial for today’s marketers – and why sometimes, the best marketers are not called marketers at all.

It’s not easy to put the customer at the heart of your organisation, much less to convince senior leaders why it’s so important to do so. In this episode, we dive into why this is, and invite special guest, author Dan White, to let you know how to find out what your customers really want from your brand whilst pacifying internal stakeholders.

In this episode, we dive deep into the ever-changing waters of digital. For marketing professionals today, balancing in-depth knowledge of digital channels with an integrated marketing mindset is a deep-set challenge, and one that we invite special guest Dr Dave Chaffey, co-founder of Smart Insights, to digest in this fortnight’s podcast.

Sustainability is the new cornerstone of marketing success. With customers not just expecting more but actively seeking alternatives when ethical standards are not being met, is your organisation up to the challenge? Join this week’s guests, author of Sustainable Marketing and social media expert, Michelle Carvill, and Gemma Butler, CIM’s marketing director, to find out why sustainability is key to profitability for today’s marketers.

Words are possibly the most powerful tool in a marketer’s arsenal, for both internal and external communications. However, harnessing their power is no easy task in an increasingly digitised workplace. Join this week’s guests, behavioural change specialist Sarwat Tasneem, and Gemma Butler, CIM’s marketing director, to find out how the simple act of changing the conversation can drive long-term change.

This fortnight, we delve into lessons in global branding from none other than the United States of America, where a transition of power has thrown new light on the nation’s brand. Join special guests, international marketing expert and voting American, Allyson Stewart-Allen, and global branding expert, Paul Hitchens, to find out what we can expect to see from Brand USA in Biden’s first few months in office.
