This week as regular collaborator Jeff Clark continues on his break travelling, our host, CMO but “not a rockstar” Ian Truscott is again in the studio on his own, sharing 5 f’in’ marketing thoughts for the week:

#1 – Right fit marketers

#2 – Is the Forrester term “Frontline marketers” complete bollocks?

#3 – The Buying Tribe

#4 – Distinct and Differentiation

#5 – Your content, like turn signals, is for other people

Ian then joins Robert Rose, Chief Troublemaker at The Content Advisory, for a bit of a rant about why Elon hates marketers with the recent news that Elon has fired one of his marketing teams amidst a large redundancy round at Tesla. 

Enjoy!
