      <title>The Making of a Marketer - Selling Ideas in 2025</title>
      <description>Welcome to season 3 of the program! 

We start our season off with a new/old idea that will be prevalent in 2025. The art of "selling ideas." When it comes to marketing our ideas are only as good as the idea of it being sold through. But how often has your idea been held up, stopped, or postponed for a later day? Today we work on the art of crafting these ideas in a way that can sizzle. 

To assist is Kirk Eklund, founder and Chief Curiosity Officer at Inkfish is a facilitator, coach, and designer who uses innovation tools for human challenges. Alongside Adam Weiler, Director of Design and Community Engagement at Flywheel, an all-inclusive neighborhood design firm specializing in development and policy support for housing at all price points.

      <title>The Making of a Marketer - Balancing Art and Science in Marketing</title>
      <description>🦃 It's Thanksgiving week and we're dishing up a little marketing to start your Monday! 

Joining the show is Director of Strategic Planning - Head of US Brand Strategy at Gravity Global, Laura Forester. Boasting an award-winning career in both Social Media and PR, Laura is someone who has grown with the rise of digital media. Growing from a much earlier era of digital, where budgets were small and organic was the craze, she has seen this industry greatly change. Now leading a global team we will take an adventure on how these experiences have all come together.

Exploring Laura's success we will focus on the dilemma of philosophical marketing versus scientific marketing. Is there a right mix? How are we still learning together? And how does Laura lead a global team to both show creativity and ROI in a proper manner.

      <title>The Making of a Marketer - Finding Your Brand Voice in 2024</title>
      <description>What does it mean to find your brand voice in 2024 and how is it changing in the agency world? From the traditional side to the digital side, it's becoming more important to embrace our connected world. Where do we start?

We tackle this subject with co-founder and CEO of JOAN Creative and JOAN Studios, Lisa Clunie. Her expertise has led to development of these two companies that have up-leveled brands such as Google, FitBit, and Virgin Hotels, among many others. JOAN has won awards such as Campaign Magazine's Independent Agency of the Year, along with AdWeek's Small Agency of the Year.

As an award winning agency founder, how is Lisa viewing the future and what advice does she give when it comes to agencies marketing for themselves? We're looking forward to our discussion this afternoon!

      <title>The Making of a Marketer - Book Club "Jogging"</title>
      <description>In our inaugural #MakingMarketersBookClub, Jess Nickerson and Andy Pondillo will have a different kind of podcast for us.

“Jogging: A Physical Fitness Program for All Ages” was published in 1967, and co-authored by William J Bowerman. You may also know Bowerman as the co-founder of Nike. In this book, the authors detail the early findings of health benefits from jogging that would later support the running boom of the 1970s and 1980s.

The team analyzes this from a marketing lens, with how powerful data and research assisted in constructing a Nike empire.
