This week our host Ian Truscott and Jeff Clark, former Research Director at SiriusDecisions/Forrester and sought after marketing strategy advisor, continue the Five F’in’ Marketing Fundamentals series, diving into getting in harmony with our customer by understanding the customer journey.

Ian chats with one of his favourite industry chums, Cathy McKnight, VP of Strategy and Consulting and Chief Solver of Problems with The Content Advisory. Cathy helps organizations transform how they approach content technology to enable their business strategy and improve performance. Cathy has 20 years of global experience and expertise in content strategy, content management, intranets, customer experience and the tech that help make these things happen. With this experience, she has helped dozens of companies realize their content, marketing and communication objectives, leading strategic business transformation initiatives and the detailed execution of enterprise technology implementations.

Aside from geeking out on content operations, Cathy and Ian discuss the recent acquisition of GatherContent by digital asset management vendor Bynder.

Ian then winds down the week with Cathy’s colleague and his content marketing guru, Robert Rose, the Chief Trouble Maker at The Content Advisory. Over a cocktail, Robert shares a story of walking the tightrope of executing your content strategy.
