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.
Chris Ross, a VP and Analyst at Gartner for CMOs, recently published on LinkedIn that their research found that 45% of consumers find personalization creepy, inspiring Ian and Robert to take a trip down memory lane and discuss the two-decade challenge that personalization has faced and if anything has really changed, even with the rise of AI.
If you have a question for the bar or an opinion on this week's discussion, please get in touch - just search “rockstar cmo” on the interwebs or LinkedIn.
Enjoy!
