Who's Driving This Thing?!
Welcome to Season 3, Episode 6 of Misadventures in Marketing: Who’s Driving This Thing?!
In Episode 6, Who’s Driving Thing?!, we take a deep dive on every CMO’s favorite daily worry: how to keep the company on brand in everything it does and every communication to the outside world it executes on. New tools are making it easier for marketing heads to manage this around visual identity and communications. Keeping the entire GTM team on guardrails to communicate the right points to prospects, customers and the media is a whole other challenge. Not to mention the executive team. Having just one set of hands on the messaging steering wheel is always a challenge, but good communication and good discipline ensures a smooth ride down that branding highway.
