    • Marknadsföring

During this 216th episode of “Marketing Today,” host Alan Hart interviews Lisa Roberts, the chief marketing officer at Yonder, an AI SaaS company. 
Today, we talk about Roberts' long history in Texas and then move into how her work at Yonder applies to recent waves of communication about coronavirus and the protests for racial equality and social justice. We talk about the implications these waves have for brands and marketers and what Roberts thinks we need to be watching.
Roberts shares how Yonder helps brands understand their market by looking at the activity of highly aligned online groups. She says, “If you can understand how ideas originate and take hold online, you can understand the groups and motivation behind those ideas." We talk about how marketers can break down complex conversations to understand where individual narratives emerge and spread. Roberts discusses the reality of what brands will need to go through as they decide how to respond to current events. She reminds us, “There is no playbook for what we're going through right now.” She shares the advice she's giving to brands as they navigate this new territory. This discussion underscores the importance of knowing which conversations to pay attention to today.
