    Respecting the Game of Marketing with Chris Rodriguez

    Here are three things you’ll learn in this episode: Why thinking outside the box with playful exercises can sharpen real-world marketing strategies. Chris joins Shannon in a fun game called Market Me This, where he has to market an absurd product — caffeinated toothpaste. Through this exercise, he shows how even playful challenges help marketers practice quick, creative thinking, and how those same skills apply to real-world campaigns. How patience, process, and integrity create sustainable success for agencies. Chris shares iExcel’s journey as a “middle-class” agency — scrappy but growing. Instead of focusing only on revenue goals, he emphasizes building processes, refining systems, and leading with humility. He explains why respecting the long game, without rushing or caving to outside pressure, leads to sustainable growth. Why sharing knowledge instead of gatekeeping builds stronger relationships and a lasting brand reputation. Chris explains how he openly shares strategies with prospects and peers, even when there’s no guarantee of business. He believes solving puzzles and adding value builds trust, and that no one can truly “steal” your idea because execution is what sets agencies apart.

    Spotting Cultural Trends and Marketing Inspiration with Dawn Dawson

    Here are three things you’ll learn in this episode: Why looking outside your own industry sparks more innovative marketing ideas. Dawn explains how she finds her best creative inspiration not from other marketers, but from completely different worlds—like sports, entertainment, and even her jet ski announcing career. By pulling ideas from outside the usual bubble, she’s able to approach campaigns with fresh angles that competitors might miss. How scarcity, gamification, and community fuel viral consumer trends. From fashion drops to TikTok challenges, Dawn breaks down why people love exclusivity and competition. She shares how brands that create a sense of urgency and community—where audiences feel like they’re part of something bigger—can transform everyday products into cultural moments. The unique challenges of corporate marketing vs. agency life—and how to navigate both. Having worked in both worlds, Dawn compares the freedom and speed of agency projects with the layered approvals and politics of corporate settings. She offers insights on how to keep creativity alive no matter the environment, while also recognizing the strengths that each side brings to the table.
