    What’s Going on in Healthcare Marketing?

    Unique markets have different levels of Marketing maturity, use different ways of going to market, have different metrics of success, and view the role of Marketing in their organizations quite differently. Sometimes, it’s too easy to get too focused on what you have traditionally done in Marketing, and also a challenge to look outside your unique market for best practices in other markets which you might adopt. In today’s program, we are going to do a deep dive into the Healthcare market, and do a temperature check on its overall health and growth prospects. We will also characterize organizations in this sector—and try to highlight best practices inside the market, but also identify best practices from other markets which might be beneficial to a Healthcare marketer. ----more---- My guest today is Deborah Fell, Area Managing Partner and CMO at Chief Outsiders.

  5. Brand The “How” Not the “What”

    20/09/2021

    Brand The “How” Not the “What”

    The value proposition of most businesses is based on what they do well. In many cases, focusing on what the company does--the products they make or the services they offer--is neither differentiating nor compelling. Even more problematic, many value propositions do not offer clear benefits to the problems and challenges their customers face. In this podcast, we will discuss creating value propositions on the “how” businesses create value instead of “what” they do. Codifying, packaging, and branding a company’s service components can often deliver a message which is more compelling and differentiating. And what’s more, codifying the way customers are serviced is a great way to integrate operations, sales, and marketing. ----more---- Today’s Participants: You can connect with Mark Coronna through LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markcoronna/ Guest: Dennis Bailen, Partner & CMO, Chief Outsiders dbailen@chiefoutsiders.com  https://thepracticalcmo.com/ep-24-brand-the-how-not-the-what/

    Lies, Damned Lies, and Marketing

    This podcast is a very unusual but realistic view of what Marketing does well and what it doesn’t do well. You’ve been promised big results with a quick turnaround. You’ve been told that social media is a silver bullet for increased sales (so far, you haven’t seen an impact). Your marketing team and vendors have overpromised and underdelivered, and you’re disappointed. You’re frustrated. Perhaps you’re close to giving up on marketing entirely, but something tells you that you shouldn’t—you just need to know how to use it wisely. In Lies, Damned Lies, and Marketing, Atul Minocha reveals the root causes of your frustration and provides you with the insight you need to utilize your marketing dollars for real results. ----more---- Today’s Participants: You can connect with Mark Coronna through LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markcoronna/  Guest: Atul Minocha, Partner& CMO, Chief Outsiders aminocha@chiefoutsiders.com Atul Minocha | LinkedIn https://thepracticalcmo.com/ep-23-lies-damne…es-and-marketing/ Related Resources Amazon.com: Lies, Damned Lies, and Marketing: Separate Fact from Fiction and Drive Growth

    Is It Time to Use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Marketing?

    Like many emerging technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) is making its way into the market through several applications.
