    Making Reputation Measurable (and Defensible)

    Many CMOs face the same dilemma: You're asked to prove "brand," then told brand tracking is too expensive. So you invest in analyst relations, adjust PR, navigate layoffs, or shift strategy without a reliable way to show how those moves affect market perception.    RepuTracker was built to solve that problem. Developed for members of the CMO Huddles Leader program, RepuTracker provides a monthly, evidence-based view of your company's reputation so you can see whether it's rising, slipping, or holding steady, and why. In this episode, Drew is joined by Taran Nandha (Growth Natives) to demo the RepuTracker beta. They show how the tool tracks reputation month to month across multiple signals, then get practical about how to read the output, explain it to leadership, and see whether your moves are showing up in the market. In this episode:  How RepuTracker turns scattered public signals into a monthly reputation score with trends and competitor benchmarks.  What it measures across key dimensions: Power of voice, awareness, engagement, perception, and employee sentiment.  How sources and weighting work behind the scenes across dozens of platforms.  How to use trendlines and recommendations to move from "we dipped" to a clear next step.  Plus:  Why direction over time matters more than one noisy review or spike.  How to sanity-check dips using internal context and profile audits.  What could come next, from deeper source auditing to tracking visibility in AI search and LLM references. If you're curious how RepuTracker works, what signals it pulls from, and how to interpret the output month to month, this episode is the walkthrough.  Learn more about the CMO Startegy Labs ➡️ https://cmohuddles.com/strategy-labs For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

    Intentional AI Adoption

    AI is now a standing agenda item. It shows up in QBRs, board packets, and 2026 budget plans with a big expectation stamp on it. CMOs are being asked to operationalize it fast, prove value in workflows, and keep risk, governance, and tool sprawl under control. To get specific about what to prioritize next, Drew brings together Guy Yalif (Webflow), Andy Dé (Lightbeam Health Solutions), and Kevin Briody (DisruptedCMO). Together, they focus on how CMOs can move from scattered experiments to intentional AI adoption across people, process, and technology, and what it takes to make AI a trusted part of how marketing runs. In this episode:  Guy shares an AI fluency maturity model and explains why the shift to operational excellence is a change management challenge.  Andy breaks down agentic AI and workflow automation with examples from CI, outbound, RFPs, content, and AEO, using "why, what, how, so what."  Kevin focuses on the people and platform side, from job anxiety and culture to vendor shakeouts and MarTech-level discipline.  Plus:  Centering AI plans on people and fluency so it feels additive, not threatening.  Using councils, fast-track approvals, and guardrails to scale safely.  Balancing efficiency with human experience and customer acceptance.  Treating AI tools like core MarTech, with scrutiny around contracts, integrations, and vendor longevity. If you want your 2026 AI plan to feel like a strategic advantage instead of a collection of pilots, this conversation will help you decide what to run, what to scale, and what to skip.  Learn more about the CMO Startegy Labs ➡️ https://cmohuddles.com/strategy-labs Check out Firebrick ➡️ https://firebrickconsulting.com/ For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

    The Framemaking Sale: Building Buyer Decision Confidence

    Most marketers worry about whether buyers trust their brand. Brent Adamson, author of The Framemaking Sale, argues that the actual issue sits somewhere else: Buyers do not trust themselves. In this episode, Drew sits down with Brent to challenge three big assumptions: That more supplier trust is the answer, that buyers have a neat journey to map, and that customer centricity is always the right north star. In this episode:  Why decision confidence matters more than supplier trust  How shifting from "trust us" to "trust yourselves" reshapes GTM  How to rethink buyer journeys through the "never again" and spaghetti-bowl lens.  Framemaking in practice, from nudges and checklists to maturity models.  The three Es, Establish, Engage, Execute, as a shared marketing and sales playbook. Plus:  Escaping the smartness arms race by editing content to reduce anxiety and build buyer self-confidence.  Turning social proof into a confidence engine, using "other customers like you…" stories.  Making content supplier-agnostic, helping buyers ask better questions and weigh tradeoffs. If you want your buyers to trust themselves enough to decide, start here.  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

    Unlocking B2B Intelligence with AI Workflows

    If AI is only helping you write copy, you are leaving real leverage on the table.  Every marketing team is buried in invisible busywork; a trail of repetitive, manual steps hiding inside every task. So what happens when you take one of those messy workflows, map every step, and rebuild it?  In this episode, Drew talks with Dave Brong (Level Agency) about how CMO Huddles transformed a messy, 10-step post-meeting grind into an automated system that transforms hundreds of conversations into structured insight, searchable intelligence, and real business value.  In this episode:  How a manual, repetitive workflow became an automated intelligence engine  How transcripts, metadata, and semantic search unlock institutional knowledge  The reality: Only ±10% of the system relies on AI (code does the heavy lifting)  When to use low-code tools vs. engineers for reliability, privacy, and scale Plus:  A simple method to audit workflows and spot automation opportunities  How to balance build vs. buy for AI workflows  How to amplify human judgment instead of replacing it If you are tired of manual follow-up, underused data, and AI hype without impact, this conversation is for you.   For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

    A Marketing Budget the C-Suite Believes In

    Growth targets keep climbing while cost lines tighten, and planning season starts to feel very personal for CMOs. AI threads through every conversation, zero-based thinking pulls against last year's baseline, and the goalposts never seem to hold still.  So the job becomes building a budget you can walk into the room with, own, and defend with conviction. To get there, Drew brings together Andrew Cox (Forrester), Lisa Cole (2X), and Alan Gonsenhauser (Demand Revenue). The conversation centers on tying spend to strategy, translating marketing into CFO-ready terms, and giving AI a role in the plan that the numbers can support. In this episode:  Andrew shares Forrester's view on moving past "last year plus X," building budgets around corporate objectives and campaigns, and forcing prioritization.  Lisa applies a zero-based mindset to business priorities, uses a 70-20-10 program mix for core, flex, and test, and frames marketing as an ATM of Audience, Trust, and Monetization.  Alan outlines the signals of strong and weak budgets, tying the majority of spend to growth campaigns and long-term value plans, and maintaining a year-round working relationship with the CFO. Plus:  Keeping tech spend in check, including guidelines for MarTech mix and contract flexibility  Positioning brand and PR in financial terms like pipeline influence, win rates, and pricing power  Responding to AI efficiency pressure by fixing workflows first and framing value in utilization, speed, and scalability  Why the budget should be the numerical expression of strategy, not a defense of legacy spend If you want to walk into your next budget review with a clear story, solid numbers, and conviction, this conversation will help you get there.  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

    The Event ROI Reality Check

    Events sit at the crossroads of joy and heartburn for B2B marketers. The magic of getting customers together in real life is real, and so is the pain when sales skips the pre-work and ROI gets fuzzy. With every dollar under scrutiny, CMOs are treating events as strategic bets that have to earn their spot on the plan. In this episode, Drew talks with Charles Groome (Insightful), Jamie Gier, and Lorie Coulombe (Equity Shift) about how they decide which events to do, design experiences people remember, and turn field time into pipeline. They cover event portfolios, sales pre-work, and the simple tools that keep everyone aligned before, during, and after the show. In this episode:  Charles sorts events into three buckets, leans into a listening circuit with smaller meetups, and looks at target-account impact to decide where bigger bets belong.  Jamie frames events around getting discovered, creating memorable experiences, and driving deals, with customers on stage and pods focused on key accounts.  Lorie sets clear goals for each event, does deep homework on audiences and geographies, and locks in sales pre-work and follow-up expectations. Plus:  Build an event portfolio that blends big shows, listening trips, CABs, and customer moments.  Use themes, news hooks, and customer voices to stand out in crowded halls and drive recall.  Align sales and marketing via pods, shared KPIs, and simple scoreboards.  Tighten spend with regional focus, partner co-hosting, and clear criteria. If events are on your 2026 budget and you want them to pay in pipeline, this episode will help you pick, plan, and prove them with more confidence.  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/
