A CMO Confidential Interview with Tom Goodwin, author, speaker, and former head of innovation at Publicis, Zenith and Havas. Tom makes the case that much of today's marketing spending is wasted on a "playbook of precision" where everything can be attributed and all customers can be micro-targeted. Key topics include: why branding in the AI Age is more important than ever; why claiming performance marketing success may not represent actual success; and his belief that advertising and brand building are slow and weak, but necessary for the long-term success of most businesses. Tune in to hear a Restoration Hardware case study and learn about Fredkin's Paradox and the Dopamine Culture.
