This week I'm headed off to Dreamforce, Salesforce's huge annual user conference, for the first time in three years. Before the pandemic shut everything down, 170,000 people attended Dreamforce in 2019. And while the conference took a few baby steps the last couple of years with very limited amounts of people attending the event in San Francisco, many more people experienced it virtually on Salesforce+, the streaming platform Salesforce created when all their physical events had to be canceled. But this week the conference is back with a significant number of folks expected to attend. And even though estimates are floating around of at least 30,000 people will be at the physical event, there may be four times that number if not more who will attend virtually. My CRM Playaz co-host Paul Greenberg and I had the opportunity to speak with Colin Fleming, Salesforce EVP of Global Brand Marketing, who is leading the Salesforce+ effort. We spoke with him two days after the streaming service was announced last year, and we wanted to hear what role Salesforce+ was going to play in this year's Dreamforce now that it's opening back up with a big attendance number expected. Colin also shares how the last year of Salesforce+ has led to a transformational change in how he sees events being designed, as well as the impact these changes will have of traditional B2B marketing initiatives.

IWC Schaffhausen hat vor einigen Wochen ein eigenes NFT-Projekt entworfen und gelauncht: Den IWC Diamond Hand Club. Doch wie gestaltet man so ein Projekt? Wie setzt man es um? Und was erhofft sich die Luxusmarke IWC von dem Projekt? Darüber spreche ich mit Maurice. Maurice ist seit 10 Jahren bei IWC und für das internationale Brand-Marketing verantwortlich.Spannende Insights von einem realen NFT-Projekt, das als Auftakt der IWC Web3-Strategie zu sehen ist.Mehr zu Maurice: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mauricemoitroux/ Imprint: www.sustaind.de

In der 44. Episode des New Leadership Podcasts hat Sebastian Morgner einen spannenden Austausch mit Axel Löber, Senior Vice President Global Brand & Marketing der Firma E.ON, in dem viele Bereiche seiner Arbeit und der Marke, mit der er arbeitet, abgedeckt werden. Axel Löber studierte Germanistik, Psychologie und Politik und beschäftigte sich mit PR, bevor er seine Faszination für Marke zunächst bei Merck und nun bei E.ON zum Beruf machte. Seiner Definition nach ist eine Marke zunächst ein „vielschichtiges Konstrukt im Kopf eines Menschen“, nicht einfach nur ein Logo oder ein Design. Ein mentales Konstrukt, das man nicht millimetergenau kontrollieren könne. Daher sei es treffender, von „Markenbegleitung“ – Brand Stewardship –, statt von „direkter Markenführung“ zu sprechen. Im Kern gehe es um die Frage: Wofür soll die Marke stehen – und wofür auch nicht? Welche Geschichte möchte ich als Marke erzählen und welche Inhalte sind für meine Zielgruppe relevant? Diese Schnittmenge muss genau getroffen werden, um effektiv in der Markenkommunikation zu sein. Darüber hinaus gibt Löber Einblicke zur Markenarbeit bei E.ON im Kontext von Dekarbonisierung und Energiewende. Diese und weitere interessante Themen samt exklusiver Einsichten werden in dieser Folge besprochen. Dabei wünschen wir Ihnen viel Spaß und inspirierende Gedanken!

Rob Bullough's career can be considered a kilt or a patchwork of many different interests, each pursued brilliantly. From working at Tower Records to building websites, teaching himself even more programming as well as making music for video games and ultimately becoming a brand manager within EA, he's done it all. Rob's current role as Director of Global Brand Marketing covers upstream and downstream marketing work, from understanding what motivates players to choose EA games to getting developers excited about creating what audiences look for, and eventually building the communication around that. Rob's Shiny New Object is pressure - an abstract look at brand consistency without ever "dropping the ball."

Today's episode is with Maya Spivak, the Head of Marketing at Mux, which is an API for developers to build video experiences. Maya recently joined Mux after five years at Segment, where she was the company's second marketer and its Head of Global Brand Marketing and Communications, as well as a stint at Wealthfront as a marketing director. In today's conversation, she takes a magnifying glass to the core components of a startup's marketing org. She starts by breaking down the three pillars of marketing roles — product, brand, and growth. She explains the leading indicators that your startup is ready to hire folks within each of these pillars — which starts with analyzing your sales motion and sizing up the founders' strengths and weaknesses. Next, Maya pulls back the curtain on how she architects interview loops for each of these different roles, and the unique capabilities that separate good candidates from great, must-hire folks. Finally, she reflects on her experience as one of the earliest marketing hires at Segment, and how she built the marketing org in the first couple of years to keep up with the shifting needs of the growing startup. Today's conversation is of course a must-listen for marketers, particularly marketing leaders and hiring managers that are trying to pluck out the best and the brightest to join their org. But there's a ton for other folks to learn from this interview, which explains some of the nuances of startup marketing you may not fully appreciate. You can follow Maya on Twitter at @papayamaya.

During this episode of “Marketing Today,” Alan Hart interviews Joseph Jaffe, co-founder at the HMS Beagle, author, consultant, keynote speaker, and thought leader on marketing and change. Jaffe’s current book, “Built to Suck: The Inevitable Demise of the Corporation...and How to Save It?” addresses the ideas behind why companies are heading towards a collision course with their demise. Jaffe provides tangible ways to address how survival is a gift to right the wrongs to achieve preservation in our capitalist system. Jaffe talks about the failing of business models and why marketing has to get better, extremely fast. Marketing may still not be enough to save corporations, without capitalism itself evolving. Jaffe also breaks down what he feels are the four pillars of how not to suck, which are: digital disruption, talent resurrection, customer obsession, and corporate citizenship. Digital was always meant to disrupt and turn businesses on their heads. Jaffe talks about the HMS Beagle and its mission statement to help people adapt, “when we talk about digital, and we talk about social, and we talk about innovation and start-ups, at the end of the day, if you had to try and find one common thread and line that runs right through it would be the ability to change.” Jaffe talks about how companies lose their competitive edge when they are scaling with such a huge global footprint that they struggle to adapt quickly, “‘overhead, in and of itself, has become this cement block that is kind of dragging us down to the bottom of the ocean.” He also talks about how “losing money is the enemy or at least the foil of short-term ROI,” and why meetings that are only creating more meetings without creating tangible solutions are filled with “oxygen invaders” that aren’t adding anything and are slowing down the process. Highlights from this week’s “Marketing Today”: Where did Joseph start, and how did he get to where he is now? (01:55) Why this book and why now? (05:32) Are growth and scale a strength or a weakness? (11:03) What does he mean by “age," “the nature of public ownership," and “culture”? (18:57) Joseph talks about short-term return-on-investment. (26:48) What are the four pillars of not sucking? (30:24) What is the survival planning canvas, and what value does it provide to companies? (37:10) What should marketers do and not do these days? (43:01) Is there an experience in Joseph Jaffee’s life that has defined who he is today? (48:03) Do they have a Nando’s in London? (50:30) What advice would he give to his younger self? (51:42) What fuels Phil to keep going in his career and life? (54:32) Are there brands that he thinks we should pay attention to? (57:06) Where does Joseph Jaffee see the future of marketing going?
