Managing Marketing

Murray Howe And Darren Talk Closing The Gap By Aligning Marketing To Business

Murray Howe founded Marktects, which helps align marketing with the business bottom line. From a business perspective, there is often a negative conversation about marketing, from referring to it as the colouring-in department or the black hole of the budget. Survey after survey talks of the dissatisfaction CEOs have with their CMOs, and the industry points to the short tenure of the CMO as a symptom and a cause.

But marketing, well executed and well positioned within any organisation, can drive customer-led growth. So why is this misalignment between business and marketing, and what can be done about it?

Murray discusses the gap between marketing and business and shares how this can be closed by repositioning ‘brand and comms’ to an engine of customer-led growth.

Jack Bensimon And Darren Talk About Rethinking Client Conflicts Of Interest

Jack Bensimon is the Founding Partner and Board Chair of Tadiem and the co-founder of the award-winning agency Bensimon Byrne, and he talks about the issue of clients’ conflicts of interest.

There appears to be a massive discrepancy in the way companies work with their consulting partners and how they work with their advertising agencies. On the one hand, consultants are often chosen and valued for their category experience, and working with two or more companies in the same category makes them an expert.

But for advertising agencies, while advertisers value category experience, they will not tolerate an agency having another client in the same category. Jack shares his views on clearly defining a conflict of interest so that all parties can operate to their full potential.

Skye Lambley And Darren Discuss When PR Takes The Lead In Marketing Communications

Skye Lambley is the Chief Executive Officer of the public relations group Herd MSL, and sustainability consultancy SalterBaxter. 

While some in advertising may think of public relations as what you do support their advertising campaign, the truth is more organisations are looking to public relations as an effective way to not just communicate with but influence a wide range of essential audiences – from consumers and customers to shareholder and regulators, employees and more.

Mainly today, most organisations find themselves needing to communicate an increasingly complex range of issues, including diversity, equity and inclusion, gender equality, environmental sustainability, and the list goes on.

This is where public relations come into its own.

Jason Tonelli And Darren Chat About Media Brawn Versus Media Brains

Jason Tonelli is the CEO of Zenith Media in Australia and New Zealand. He believes there is an opportunity for media agencies to be smarter in strategy and planning and media trading. 

There was a time when media was all about the buying. For some advertisers (and their procurement teams), it still is. But with the rise of technology and the impact this is having on media, increasingly, the discussion is about brains over brawn.

Jason shares his view and experience on how data and research can be best applied to  enhance real-time media decision-making in both strategy and planning and trading.
