I've been in marketing for 25+ years, since the days of dial-up internet and AOL CDs. For the past 16 years I've been CEO of an award-winning marketing agency. Our clients include brands such as Sony Entertainment, Timberland, UNESCO, and Adobe. I also teach Marketing and Behavioral Science to final year MBAs at 2 business schools. So why do I want to be on your show? Simple: there are a ton of sharks and snake-oil sellers out there calling themselves 'marketers' but haven't a clue what they're doing. A business owner believes their BS, only to lose a ton of time and money once they find out nothing's working. If I can help a listener dodge a bullet, then I've won. I'm erudite, witty, opinionated, and occasionally controversial. I'm not looking to plug anything on your show. I don't have a podcast, book, product, or crappy eBook that I'm trying to sell behind a landing page. Sounds interesting? Then let's have a chat.
