Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar - with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails while our host Ian Truscott, a CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic.  This week, over a refreshing cocktail, Ian and Robert discuss Robert's new book, being launched this week: Valuable Friction, an idea that they first discussed on this podcast back on episode 248. Some key points from the discussion: Speed has become a foundational value in business culture How relationships suffer due to our focus on speed and convenience AI may invite us to slow down rather than speed up Slowing down could differentiate you Creative friction can enhance our output and decision-making If you have a question for the bar, or maybe an opinion on what was shared this week, please get in touch - just search “rockstar cmo” on the interwebs or LinkedIn.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we're hearing an awful lot about the fraught relationship between science and media. In his book, News from Mars: Mass Media and the Forging of a New Astronomy, 1860-1910 (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2019), historian of science Joshua Nall shows us that a blurry boundary between science and journalism was a key feature—not a bug—of the emergence of modern astronomy. Focusing on objects and media, such as newspapers, encyclopedias, cigarette cards, and globes, Nall offers a history of how astronomers' cultivation of a mass public shaped their discipline as it managed controversies over the possibility of canals on Mars, and even interplanetary communication. This book is strongly recommended for historians of science and communication, as well as those with an eye for material culture. Joshua Nall is curator of modern sciences at the Whipple Museum of the History of Science in the Department of the History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge. Mikey McGovern is a PhD candidate in Princeton University's Program in the History of Science. He is writing a dissertation on how people used statistics to make claims of discrimination in 1970s America, and how the relationship between rights and num- bers became a flashpoint in political struggles over bureaucracy, race, and law.

We're excited to share the first episode of Peabody Award-nominated podcast Long Shadow’s new season, Breaking the Internet. Hosted by Pulitzer Prize finalist and historian Garrett Graff, Long Shadow: Breaking the Internet charts the evolution of the internet – from the optimistic days of the dot-com boom to our present moment. Produced by Long Lead and distributed by PRX, this seven-part series aims to tell the story of humanity's greatest invention, and how it's led us to the biggest crisis facing society today. In this specific episode, you’ll travel back to 1993. Gas is just over a dollar a gallon. Minimum wage is $4.25 an hour. Mass media is hitting its apex, and American culture is about as homogenous as it’s ever been. And somewhere in the background of all that, this new thing called the World Wide Web just became available to the general public…. then a computer bug threatened to shut it all down forever. To listen to more episodes, follow Long Shadow on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or your favorite podcast app. If you’re listening on Spotify, you can leave a comment there or email us at hello@tangoti.com!

Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar - with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails while our host Ian Truscott, a CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic.  This week, over a refreshing cocktail, Ian and Robert quote Drucker and wonder if AI will solve our zombie process.  Key points from their discussion: AI is automating inefficient processes. Understanding the entire marketing process is crucial before implementing AI. Curiosity and asking 'why' are essential in the AI experimentation phase. Business users often prefer to delegate tasks rather than engage with complex systems. Experimentation with AI is important AI can add complexity and cost if not applied thoughtfully.

This week, Cathy McKnight, Chief Problem Solver at Seventh Bear, makes her monthly visit to the studio, and our host Ian Truscott grabs her after day 1 of CMS Connect 25, a gathering of content management professionals in Montreal, and she shares the latest talking points from the world of content management.  Some talking points from this week: CMSs are still valid and necessary for digital experiences, but digital experience platforms (DXPs) are not a thing. The death of the website is bullshit, and the CMS plays a key role in management and orchestration across all channels.  Artificial intelligence is obviously a hot topic, and there are some interesting use cases in content workflows, governance, and approval.  Composability and headless remain a hot technical trend, but not much is changing in terms of what buyers are asking for.  Accessibility was a surprisingly hot topic, and it's often overlooked. People, process, governance, and operations remain a technology-agnostic challenge regardless of the acronym used to describe them (DAM, MAM, MRM, WCM, etc). A dive into indulging our inner content geeks, and ss always, we welcome your feedback.  Enjoy! — The Links The people: Ian Truscott on LinkedIn and Bluesky Cathy McKnight on LinkedIn Mentioned this week: The story of Boye & Co CMS Connect 25 - Boye & Company Seventh Bear Rockstar CMO: The Beat Newsletter that we send every Monday Rockstar CMO on the web, Twitter, and LinkedIn Previous episodes and all the show notes: Rockstar CMO FM.

Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar - with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails while our host Ian Truscott, a CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic.  This week, the topic is culture jacking, as Robert wrote a very timely piece on the Content Marketing Institute's blog: How B2B Brands Capitalize on Meme-Worthy Moments, as our LinkedIn feeds are filled with images of a kisscam from a Coldplay concert.  Key points from the chat: Less “newsjacking” as politics becomes so divisive, and humor has become difficult.  Memes and culture jacking are filling the gap, but can be a double-edged sword  Understanding cultural references is crucial for effective engagement. Not all memes resonate with every audience. Authenticity is key.

Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar - with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails while our host Ian Truscott, a CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic.  This week, on Ian's mind is whether we should be educating LLMs with our content, and Robert suggests that there might be lessons to be learned from Google's rise two decades ago. They discuss: How our content gets served, aggregated, and we don't pick the experience What is the purpose and value of educating LLMs with our content?  Will users click through?

Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar - with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails while our host Ian Truscott, a CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic.  This week, on Ian's mind is is the importance of individual credibility vs brands in content marketing and what this means for B2B. Should we worry about creating thought leaders, and they leave?  They discuss: AI is influencing how we perceive content authenticity. The 'from line' in emails is more important than the subject line. B2B brands need to invest in promoting their employees as thought leaders. Social media is shifting from brand-centric to individual-centric content. Trust is being built more around individuals than brands. Navigating employee influence requires trust and motivation.

Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar - with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails while our host Ian Truscott, a CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic.  This week, Mary Meeker, who some describe as the queen of the internet, has published a 340-page report called Trends – Artificial Intelligence, that Robert has some thoughts on, so that's this week's topic, discussed over a cocktail blended especially for Father's Day tomorrow.  They discuss: The challenge of reporting on AI, as while the report is excellent, some points feel dated due to the fast pace of AI development.  AI should be viewed as a tool rather than a replacement for human workers. People describe themselves as  AI-enhanced, but no one ever said they are “spreadsheet-enhanced”. There's skepticism about AI's capabilities compared to human intelligence and the need for diverse human input.  AI is “free puppies”, not “free beer”; it's not saving as much human work as has been predicted.

Inspired by Salesforce's acquisition of Informatica, they discuss their experiences with acquisitions.   Some talking points from this week: Salesforce's acquisition of Informatica aims to enhance Salesforce's data management and AI capabilities, but the company has a mixed track record.  The need to understand the different motivations for an acquisition and what has driven the transactions.   Some examples of good Martech acquisitions, and what makes a good acquisition for both the team, financially, and the clients.   Some things to look out for if you are on either side of the acquisition, working for the acquirer or the company being acquired Customers must be aware of and delve into the details of the plans, and engage with other people in the ecosystem.   The importance of a great story that ties together the acquisition, positioning it internally and in the market.

The output of AI is less important than the thought process it encourages. AI is trained to agree, so we must prompt it to challenge our ideas.

With significant evolutions in digital technologies and media distribution in the past two decades, the business of storytelling through screens has shifted dramatically. In the past, blockbuster movies and TV shows like Friends aimed first for domestic mass audiences, although the biggest hits circulated globally. Now, transnational distribution plays a primary role and imagined audiences are global. At the same time, the once-mass audience has significantly fragmented to enable an expansion in the range of commercially viable stories, as evident in series as varied as Atlanta, Better Things, and dozens of others that are not widely known, but deeply loved by their microaudiences. Delving into the changing landscape of commercial screen storytelling, After Mass Media: Storytelling for Microaudiences in the Twenty-First Century (NYU Press, 2025) explores how industrial shifts and technological advancements have remade the narrative landscape over the past two decades. Television and movies have long shaped society, whether by telling us about the worlds around us or far away. By examining the internationalization of screen businesses, the rise of streaming services with multi-territory reach, and the stories made for this environment, this book sheds light on the profound transformations in television and film production and circulation. With a keen focus on major changes in the types of screen stories being told, Amanda D. Lotz unravels the industrial roots that made these transformations possible, challenges some conventional distinctions of screen storytelling, and provides new conceptual tools to make sense of the abundance and range of screen stories on offer. Through its comprehensive analysis, After Mass Media exposes how contemporary industrial dynamics, particularly the erosion of traditional distribution models based on geography and mass audience reach, have far-reaching implications for our understanding of national video cultures.
