However, today it’s a different story. Actually it’s more of a narrative being pushed as propaganda rather than “news.” Has journalism betrayed the public trust? Why? And is there any way back? As marketers, where does this leave us in terms of public relations, advertising and other tools that rely on the public’s trust in our news media? We’re gonna hit all of this and more on the 150th (set of steak knives) edit...2020-03-1857 minMay The Best Brand WinMay The Best Brand WinEpisode 149: More Than WordsEverything in marketing starts at the same place — words.

Maybe it’s a new program, a new product or even the company itself — But why do names matter so much?  Would Apple be as powerful if it were named Orange back in that garage?  And is there any science to naming things?  We’re going to dig into naming and how it relates to branding in the next Razzie-nominated episode of May the Best Brand Win on Entertalk Radio.  We’ll also run down who’s w...2018-09-0159 minMay The Best Brand WinMay The Best Brand WinEpisode 96: Marketing: Cost or Investment?There are two ways to view modern marketing, either as a cost or an investment.  And both ways have a case to made.  So in this episode, we’re going to go down the arguments for both sides and see if we can figure out an answer.  We’ll also hit who’s winning and losing in this wacky world of marketing & communications so please join us for another VMA-Award winning episode of my Mom’s favorite show, May the Best Brand Win on Entertalk Radio.2018-08-2559 minMay The Best Brand WinMay The Best Brand WinEpisode 95: Marketing StrateegeryHave you noticed we live in a tactical world — lots of companies DOING things, INVENTING things, BUILDING things but not always sure why.  And then of course, it’s marketing’s job to SELL It — make people interested and beat them on the head with the message until they finally submit.  All of this comes from a HUGE lack of strategy.  And spoiler alert — you cannot do this work or run any business successfully (for long) without a solid strategy.  So we’re going to dive deep into it, look at how it’s formed how’s it’s different than tactics and show...2018-08-2159 minMay The Best Brand WinMay The Best Brand WinEpisode 94: Unfinished MessagingIn the traditional communications model (from Jr. High) you have a sender (you) a receiver (them) and a message.
