May 17, 2025 By MPN

This week in The Rose and Rockstar, Ian asks Robert about lessons from his successful podcast and if he’d start This Old Marketing today.

Share the goodness!

Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar – with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails while our host Ian Truscott, a CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic. 

This week, following a discussion about alcohol measures in Scotland, Ian asks Robert about lessons from his successful podcast and if he’d start This Old Marketing today. Some of the things they discussed:

  • Building an audience before launching a podcast 

  • Video offers better discoverability than audio alone

  • The intimacy of audio creates a strong connection with listeners

  • Marketing a podcast requires effort beyond just creating content

  • Discoverability is essential for growing a podcast audience

Do you have a question for the bar? Or maybe an opinion on what we’ve discussed? Please get in touch – just search “rockstar cmo” on the interwebs or LinkedIn.

Enjoy!
