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 former CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic. 

This week, over a fancy martini, Ian and Robert discuss a keynote from P&G’s Marc Pritchard at this year’s ANA Masters of Marketing Conference, where he outlined his five marketing fundamentals and Robert’s take in an article for the Content Marketing Institute blog. 

The five points from Pritchard’s keynote that they discuss:

• Know your consumer

• Know your brand

• Fall in love with advertising

• Build memory

• Nurture creativity

If you have a question for the bar or an opinion on this week’s discussion, please get in touch – just search “rockstar cmo” on the interwebs or LinkedIn.

Enjoy!
