Share the goodness!

This week, Ian and Cathy McKnight, Chief Problem Solver at Seventh Bear discuss a recent post from her Bear Essentials series on the Seventh Bear blog – You’re Not Scaling Content. You’re Scaling Chaos.

 They discuss: 

  • Difference between scale and volume in content creation

  • Impact metrics vs. production metrics

  • Organizational governance and foundational systems

  • The risks of scaling content without measuring impact and ROI

  • Content quality and originality in AI-generated content

  • Content bottlenecks and downstream effects

Ian then joins Robert Rose in the virtual bar, The Rose & Rockstar, to pick his brains on a marketing topic over a classic cocktail 

This week, Ian and Robert discuss how AI has crept into the Cannes Lions awards criteria, and some thoughts he shared in his Rose Colored Glasses series on the Content Marketing Institute blog – The Cannes Lions Lesson Every Creative AI Initiative Needs, and celebrate his birthday, an absolute classic of a cocktail. 

Enjoy!
