    What is vision? And why would you care?

    What is vision? And why would you care?

    Vision is often one of those lofty ideals that thought leaders throw out from their ivory towers and expect others to deliver on.
    But in reality, it’s actually something incredibly important to the successful growth of a business.
    Getting everyone on the same bus and all agreeing on the route - takes skill, energy and well, belief.
    But what is vision and why is it important?

    AI Marketing: The Holy Grail or a Sh*tstorm Waiting to Happen?

    AI Marketing: The Holy Grail or a Sh*tstorm Waiting to Happen?

    In November, we and I sat down in a podcast studio in London. As we struggled to operate the tech, Rich proposed recording an episode on the topic of AI - having started to integrate Jasper.ai into his workflows.
    Joe was sceptical but happy to go along with the flow. 3 months later - Chat GPT was unleashed on the world.
    And as much as Joe hates to admit it, Rich was right. Again. 
    In the past 75 days, AI has been front and centre of marketers’ imaginations, and with it a slew of use cases and talking points.
    Some good. Some bad.
    But knowing what we know today - how is AI impacting our jobs today, the way we work and where can we meaningfully see it impacting our futures and perhaps more importantly, where are the scary bits?

    Thought leadership is for knobheads...

    Thought leadership is for knobheads...

    In Rich's humble opinion… Thought leadership is for knobheads…
    Specifically, LinkedIn thought leadership…
    But at the same time, it has huge value, if you get it right.
    But, what used to work no longer has the same impact.
    What used to be individual voices, is now a sea of copy cat sameness.
    So does thought leadership need a reset and do people need to be thinking of ways to break the mould?

    That dreaded 'R' word... In marketing should we cut or should we spend?

    That dreaded 'R' word... In marketing should we cut or should we spend?

    In this episode, Rich & Joe discuss recessions and marketing spend... it's more fun than it sounds... we promise.
    The recession is here and everything in the business world seems a bit gloomy. As marketers, we're now looking into a near future where budgets will be cut.
    But... Marketing data at the very least stipulates that those who spend through a recession usually come out winners. 
    So... What should it be? Spend big or accept cuts?

Good insight and banter

I follow both of these guys on Linked In and the content is really accessible and down to earth. Good bit of banter and ‘pub talk’ and also not too long either. Well worth a listen
