The Predictable Predictions Episode

Share the goodness!

As predictable as the supermarket holiday music starting too soon; its prediction season, and rather than come up with our own, in the Marketing Studio Jeff Clark, our resident Rockstar CMO strategic advisor and former Research Director at Forrester, and our host Ian Truscott have spun the dial on the interwebs and share their favorite predictions they’ve read over the last couple of weeks. 

Ian then joins Robert Rose, Chief Trouble Maker at The Content Advisory, in the Rockstar CMO virtual bar for his predictions and his favorite drink to unwind over the holidays.  

Happy holidays, and Merry Christmas from all of us.

Enjoy!
