Marketing Vanguard

12/20/18 • 37 min

In today’s very special edition, and final episode of CMO Moves in 2018, I'm bringing back three past guests who I chatted with earlier this year on CMO Moves to find out how things have been going since we last checked in. Also, since all three of these guests sit on our Innovators Council, I thought it'd be a good time to ask them what they think the hottest trends will be in 2019.

Marketing Vanguard

01/18/21 • 34 min

When I first met Melissa Proctor, CMO of the Atlanta Hawks, I was blown away from the first minute. An inspirational leader who went from Ball Girl to CMO, per the title of her recent book, she has had such an interesting journey driven by her determination and perseverance. Today, on Martin Luther King Day, we share her story of success as well as her big news. For three years she’s been working on an important moment that will take place later today. The Atlanta Hawks will be wearing their new uniforms that proudly say “MLK” on the front of their jersey, not Atlanta, not Hawks,but simply “MLK” in honor of Dr. King.And it isn’t just a uniform. The three-year journey included tremendous research to fully connect and empower the city of Atlanta, working with the community, local organizations and the Russell Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. And a commitment to the future to ensure equity and equality are better embraced and understood by all. Melissa and her teams’ work will not only be recognized locally, but already has earned global recognition from none other than the Pope. When the Pope learned of today, he asked that a MLK uniform be shipped to him so he could bless it and send it back in time for today's game. Tune in to hear all of Melissa's amazing moves that got her fully in the game and able to drive such meaningful action.

Tim Ellis, CMO of the NFL Takes the Helmets Off and Creates a New Social Media Ecosystem

Marketing Vanguard

07/11/19 • 38 min

As Tim Ellis, CMO of the NFL, and I were sitting in Cannes just recently, we turned the mic on and embarked on an incredible journey together. This podcast really should be two separate ones but they come from one fantastical person, Tim.The first would be a podcast about a curious and adventurous young man who went from learning how to fence in Paris, to working in a Kibbutz in Israel milking cows and driving tractors, to building oil rigs in Norway, to being an actor and teacher in Tokyo, Japan, to then jumping on a cruise ship as a bartender to see the world, to joining an agency in Sweden to eventually deliver the ad that changed the SuperBowl forever. How did he do it? Well, you’ll have to tune in to find out and then hang tight as we dive deep into the NFL and what he’s doing with a collective audience of 750MM as part 2 of this incredible podcast.That’s right. 750MM is the collective audience of the NFL when you add up the NFL brand, the clubs, the players, the former players – A.K.A. “legends” - into one social media ecosystem. What do you do with that ecosystem? Well, Tim has a pretty elaborate plan he shares around education, focus on verticals, partners, influencers, social platforms and more. His recipe for success is not to be missed. It’s exciting and fun and includes people with names like Ninja and JuJu - you’ve probably heard of them. ;)
