In this special episode of The Digital Marketing Podcast, Daniel Rowles sits down with Alex Schultz, Meta's Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President of Analytics, to unpack the future of digital marketing, and why the fundamentals still matter more than ever. Alex shares lessons from his remarkable journey: from running the world's top paper airplane website to leading growth at Meta, managing multi-billion dollar ad campaigns, and now authoring the industry-defining book Click Here. With high-profile endorsements from Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, Daniel Ek, and Matthew Vaughn, the book has already gettimg rave reviews, and Daniel is putting it straight onto the reading list for his students at Imperial College. Together, Daniel and Alex dig into the core principles of great marketing: how to set meaningful goals, measure true impact, build high-performance teams, and embrace AI without losing your strategic edge. In This Episode: Why Alex wrote Click Here and why the industry desperately needed a book that gets back to fundamentals, marketing measurement, and pride in the profession. The power of incrementality: How to run meaningful tests, avoid vanity metrics, and prove real value to your CEO and CFO. Why goals are not the same as metrics and how mixing them up can derail your marketing efforts. The importance of awareness:  Why most businesses fail because people simply don't know they exist. Marketing mix matters: How one newspaper mention outperformed every digital channel—and why the basics still beat the buzz. Mediocre marketing + great conversion = success: Why broken funnels kill campaigns, no matter how brilliant your creative is. How Meta builds defensible growth : What sets their marketing apart, from deep integration with product and engineering, to AI-powered insights. AI's real impact on marketing jobs: A breakdown of the three kinds of disruption AI will bring, and why the marketers who embrace it will thrive. Paper planes, transparency, and unexpected beginnings: Hear how Alex's nerdy hobby turned into a viral website, and why he publicly shares his university grades to inspire others. Key Takeaways: Get back to basics: Clear goals, good data, and fundamental models (like the funnel) still win. Measure what matters: Metrics are not goals - incrementality is everything. Focus on defensibility and scale in your marketing channels, don't waste time on things that can't grow. AI won't replace marketers - marketers who use AI will replace those who don't. Be transparent and human: Success doesn't require perfection, it requires clarity, curiosity, and continuous learning.

Feeling like you're never going to get resources to support your legal function? Kathy Zhu has been there. Facing an endless demand for her time and limited resources to meet the business need at DoorDash, Kathy as head of Commercial Contracting, built relationships with her key customers and a process to help her team manage and communicate priorities within the company. She was so successful in showing her team's value (and their resource needs), her clients actually donated their own headcount to the legal department so she could serve them better. Seeing the value of process, tools and relationships, Kathy and her co-founder built a tool (Streamline AI) to help in-house legal departments manage their workload and generate metrics to make the case for more resources. In this episode, Kathy shares how she managed "the bottomless pit of need" using Google forms as a bush fix before Streamline AI was born. She shares:Why transparency and vulnerability are a superpower for building relationships with your key clientsHow using metrics can help you "speak CFO" and tell the story of your legal departmentWhy understanding the stage of the company and what's needed can help lawyers deliver better services

Hours into the first government shutdown in over six years, Punchbowl News co-founder Jake Sherman reports on the path forward for both sides of the aisle. The Bureau of Labor Statistics will not release its monthly employment report amid the shutdown, sending economists and investors elsewhere for labor market data. CNBC's Steve Liesman shares September's ADP National Employment Report, and ADP's chief economist Nela Richardson explains how her metrics–along with other datasets–help paint a picture of the labor market. Richardson's takeaway: no matter the metric, hiring momentum has slowed. Plus, Berkshire Hathaway is reportedly exploring a purchase of Occidental Petroleum's petrochemical business, FTC is suing Redfin and Zillow over antitrust concerns, and Walmart is eliminating artificial dyes in its store brand food products.  Jake Sherman - 03:41SteveLiesman - 14:10Nela Richardson - 22:03 In this episode:Nela Richardson, @NelaRichardsonJake Sherman, @JakeShermanSteve Liesman, @steveliesmanJoe Kernen, @JoeSquawk Becky Quick, @BeckyQuickAndrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkinKatie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this conversation, Dave Prior speaks with Ashley Lucio about her extensive experience in communications, particularly focusing on the differences between internal communications and marketing. They discuss the challenges organizations face in deploying AI technologies and the importance of having communication professionals involved in these processes. Ashley emphasizes the need for effective communication strategies to manage organizational change and the potential pitfalls of neglecting this aspect.

Jim and Leah dive headfirst into a whirlwind chat that covers everything from the fine distinctions between puppets and marionettes to the equally delicate art of building great user experiences. Leah shares her fascinating journey from a Medieval French literature course at Berkeley to leading UX research at companies like Slack, Spotify, Instagram, and Mozilla. Along the way, they tackle why users often don't honestly know what they want, how to avoid building a product no one asked for (looking at you, Juicero), and why good design begins with understanding both people and teams. It's a conversation about people problems disguised as tech problems—with a few detours into bad movie references, car oil changes, and the mythical Trojan horse. Grab your headphones, settle in, and prepare to laugh, learn, and maybe rethink what “user experience” really means.

Episode Show NotesSummaryIn this episode, Dr. Chris Brown sits down with customer experience pioneer Annette Franz, author of Customer Understanding, Built to Win, and her latest book, Employee Understanding. Annette shares her journey from JD Power to becoming one of the leading voices on connecting employee experience, customer experience, and business outcomes. Together they explore the blind spots leaders have around culture, the three-pillar framework for employee understanding, and why listening—not surveys alone—is the foundation of sustainable success.From the “Sunday Scaries Test” to the dangers of gaming metrics like NPS, this conversation is packed with practical insights for leaders who want to design people-centric cultures that drive performance.Key TakeawaysEmployee experience is business critical: Without empowered employees, customer experience and business outcomes suffer.Culture is the shadow of the leader: Leaders shape or allow the culture—there is no middle ground.Three-pillar framework: Culture alignment, employee insights, and leadership empathy are the keys to designing great workplaces.Beware of “lipstick on a pig” fixes: Solve root causes, not symptoms, through service blueprinting and systemic problem-solving.Metrics can mislead: Chasing scores like NPS often backfires; focus on genuine experience improvements.Listen beyond surveys: Stay interviews, roundtables, and employee advisory boards are underused but powerful tools.Modernize or fossilize: Leaders must evolve their practices—or risk irrelevance.Memorable Sound Bites“You get the culture you design—or the one you allow.”“Culture is truly the shadow of the leader.”“Stop asking in exit interviews why people left. Ask in stay interviews why they're still here.”“When leaders beg for scores, you're moving the metric—not the experience.”“If employees feel unsafe to speak up, all you'll hear is crickets.”“Modernize or fossilize—that's the choice facing today's CEOs.”Chapters00:00 – Introduction: Annette's early career at JD Power and the origins of her CX journey.03:00 – Employee Blind Spots: Why leaders still struggle to connect employee experience with business performance.05:40 – The Sunday Scaries Test: How workplace culture impacts employees before Monday even begins.07:15 – Culture & Leadership: Why culture rests squarely on the shoulders of leaders.11:40 – The Three Pillars: Culture alignment, employee insights, and empathy in action.16:20 – Personas & Empathy: Bringing customers and employees to life inside organizations.21:30 – Connecting to Business Outcomes: Linking journey mapping and feedback to measurable ROI.27:20 – Goodhart's Law & Metrics: How chasing numbers distorts reality.31:20 – Yes Madam Case Study: What not to do with employee feedback.35:20 – Lipstick on a Pig: Why surface fixes fail without root cause analysis.37:50 – Listening Beyond Surveys: Stay interviews, listening tours, and employee advisory boards.42:00 – Modernize or Fossilize: Annette's open letter to CEOs.43:30 – AI & Human Connection: Where technology fits—and where it doesn't.46:40 – Delta Airlines Example: A model of connecting culture, employees, and customers.48:30 – Closing Thoughts: Where to find Annette's work and resources.

Terry Haayema: When Scrum Practices Aren't Enough - Learning to Sense the System Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "I didn't know how to 'sense' the system. I was focused on the scrum practices, I thought when practices were there all would be fine." Terry shares a powerful failure story from his second engagement as a Scrum Master, where he discovered that implementing Scrum practices isn't enough if you don't understand the underlying system driving team behaviors. He describes how individual KPIs were causing conflict between developers and testers - developers were measured on fewer defects while testers were measured on finding more defects. This systemic issue created dysfunction that no amount of daily standups or retrospectives could fix. Terry learned the hard lesson that Scrum Masters must be coaches for both the team and the organization, understanding how metrics and structures shape behavior before trying to implement agile practices. Self-reflection Question: What systemic forces in your organization might be working against the collaborative behaviors you're trying to foster in your teams?

Great marketing isn't just strategy, it's intuition, timing, and a deep understanding of human behavior. That's the beauty of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a movie about erasing your memories. In this episode, we're breaking down its lessons with the help of special guest Noha Rizk, Chief Marketing Officer at Incorta. Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from putting human emotion at the center of their work, trusting intuition alongside data, and embracing mistakes as the path to growth.About our guest, Noha RizkNoha Rizk is the Chief Marketing Officer at Incorta.

Great marketing isn't about features, it's about people. Even in B2B, you're dealing with human psyches, behaviors, and emotions—not faceless corporations. Noha explains, “Even as B2B marketers… you're dealing with individuals. You're dealing with the human psyche, you're dealing with the buying behavior… ultimately that is the objective. The objective is to maintain a relationship with your customers.” The lesson? Build messaging that connects on a human level first, because behind every buying decision is a person making sense of their own emotions.Balance data with intuition. Metrics matter, but numbers can't capture everything. Noha argues that some of the best insights come from being present, listening, and noticing what the data can't show. “Some things can't be measured…A big chunk of marketing has to be intuitive. It's not always purely scientific.” Just as the film's dreamlike narrative reminds us memory isn't linear or logical, B2B marketers need to leave room for creativity, serendipity, and gut instinct, because not everything that counts can be counted.Embrace mistakes as part of growth. Trying to erase failures is as dangerous in marketing as it is in memory. Noha points out, “You can't just erase away the pain… you won't learn if you don't make mistakes. A lot of marketers have to be super buttoned up, their campaigns have to work… there isn't a lot of opportunity for marketers these days to be allowed to make mistakes.” But the best brands learn from experiments that don't go as planned. Failure isn't wasted, it's the raw material for innovation, resilience, and better campaigns down the road.Quote“ As marketers…we explore the human psyche pretty much day in, day out, even if it's not explicitly said. But that's essentially what we do.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Noha Rizk, Chief Marketing Officer at Incorta[1:26] Why Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?[5:51] Role of CMO at Incorta[9:07] Breaking Down Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind[22:11] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind[43:56] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Noha on LinkedInLearn more about IncortaAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein welcomes nonprofit leader, coach, and advocate Joan Garry for an inspiring conversation about how development directors and nonprofit executives can maintain optimism, motivate their teams, and rethink what fundraising success looks like in challenging times.Joan Garry is an internationally recognized champion for the nonprofit sector, an executive coach for top nonprofit leaders, founder of the Nonprofit Leadership Lab, and host of her own podcast and blog. With decades of experience across nearly every role in nonprofit leadership, she brings both practical strategies and heartfelt encouragement to the discussion.Together, Amy and Joan explore how nonprofit professionals can reframe fundraising from a stressful numbers game into an opportunity for donors to feel connected, valued, and part of meaningful impact.They discuss:Why development directors often struggle with discouragement when revenue sources shiftHow focusing solely on total dollars raised can create a harmful and unrealistic definition of successAlternative metrics to measure fundraising effectiveness, including donor retention rates, board engagement, and stewardship practicesThe importance of innovation and creativity in fundraising, with real-world examples of organizations trying bold approaches to meet urgent needsHow leaders can support staff through professional development, peer learning, and community support to build confidence and resilienceThe role of board members in donor stewardship and why even simple gestures from board leaders can significantly strengthen relationshipsPractical steps for reconnecting with the mission, “touching the work,” and finding inspiration that replenishes energy for fundraisers and leaders alikeListeners will hear stories ranging from a climate change think tank tapping into untapped expertise in Washington, to LGBTQ advocacy groups addressing urgent needs through imaginative funding models, to a legal nonprofit rethinking the concept of a capital campaign by focusing on “human capital.” These examples highlight what is possible when leaders are willing to experiment and redefine what success looks like.Joan also shares advice on how nonprofit executives can manage fear, support their fundraising staff, and avoid the trap of holding onto poor performance because of the myth that strong development professionals are scarce. She emphasizes the importance of professional development and investment in fundraisers, noting that providing learning opportunities is a powerful way to strengthen skills and morale.Amy and Joan both highlight the value of peer communities—whether through Capital Campaign Pro's weekly mastermind groups or the Nonprofit Leadership Lab's global membership network—where nonprofit leaders can share challenges, celebrate wins, and draw inspiration from one another.Whether you are an executive director, development officer, or board member, this conversation will help you see fundraising in a new light.
