Blame it on Marketing â„¢

Transformational marketing advice (2 year anniversary) | E72

• Season 9 • Episode 72

Blame It On Marketing Turns Two! 🥳 In this special anniversary episode, Ruta and Emma reflect on two years of podcasting, marketing gossip, and relentless honesty about the industry we love (and sometimes love to hate).

From the chaos of LinkedIn to outrageous sales commission stories, they revisit their favourite episodes, hard-earned lessons, and hilarious highlights. Expect shout-outs to iconic guests like Timi and Talya, alongside a passionate plea for marketers to stop settling for 35K manager roles and to demand better buying experiences. Plus, Ruta reveals her unfiltered LinkedIn comment philosophy, while Emma dreams up LinkedIn-integrated podcasts for all our scrolling convenience.

Takeaways:

  • Buying Experience: It's still a mess—why aren't companies focusing on the buyer?
  • Sales and Marketing Alignment: Compassion, not competition, is the key to collaboration.
  • CRO Insights: A great CRO transforms businesses, not just quotas.
  • Influencer Sales: Stop expecting your team to moonlight as TikTok stars unless you're paying for it.
  • Career Advice: No job is worth sacrificing your mental health. Make that exit plan if needed.
  • Bad Marketing: Sometimes, breaking the rules is where the magic happens. (Ask them about their tattoos!)

Stick around for some spicy LinkedIn gossip and a heartfelt thank-you to the listeners who've made this two-year journey unforgettable. 🚀
