We're entering the beginning of a new school year and the American College Football season begins this weekend! For the first time in this podcast's history, Jim welcomes a CMO of sorts from a large University: Pedro Ribeiro, the VP of Public Affairs and Communications for the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.

When it comes to strong University brands, Notre Dame represents one of the best. Notre Dame was founded in 1842 by Reverend Edward Sorin, a priest of the Congregation of the Holy Cross, a French Missionary order. The school now boasts nearly 15,000 undergraduate and graduate students, with 77 undergraduate majors.

Pedro has worked at Notre Dame about a year, following a career of 20 plus years working in Washington, D.C. Pedro worked in communications for two different members of Congress, spent three years in the government of the District of Columbia, and served two roles in the Obama Administration. He was also the senior VP for Communications for the American Association of Universities before moving to the midwest and joining Notre Dame last October. Tune in for a conversation with a guest who's all in for the Fighting Irish.

There is no city like New York City! This week Jim welcomes the Chief Marketing Officer of New York City Tourism and Conventions, Nancy Mammana. Just before joining Jim for the recording, Nancy was also named the Interim CEO of the company.

Nancy’s organization is a private, non-profit entity, earning about half of its funding from the city of New York through a contract, and the other half from membership fees, sponsorships, and ad revenue on its digital properties. NYC Tourism and Conventions aims to invite the world in and energize New York City—building equitable, sustainable economic prosperity and community through tourism for the mutual benefit of residents, businesses, and visitors.

Nancy fell in love with dance early in her life; she started a dance company while at Syracuse University, which is still running today. After college, her passion for dance led her to a marketing job with the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater. From there, Nancy worked in a variety of roles on both the client and agency side of the business–including stints at the Cunard Line and the NBA. Nancy has worked at NYC Tourism and Conventions for about six years and–as you will hear–loves her job.

This is the first installment of our two-part mini-series exploring Deloitte's Global Marketing Trends Report. This study is massive, and Deloitte surveyed over 1k executives (many of them C-Level), over 10k consumers, and 556 global CMOs.

In this episode, Jim delves into "Building the Intelligent Creative Engine." Simply being creative isn’t enough in marketing anymore. Companies need to find and hire creative AND analytical marketers—but those changes don’t have to be a massive overhaul. The answer is to make a series of smaller changes within your company to help everyone work in an agile mode, and to ensure everyone adopts a more collaborative spirit— because collaboration is key to building a creative engine that moves at the speed of culture. 

In this conversation, Jim explores the findings of the report with three special guests. First, it's Jennifer Veenstra, Deloitte's Global CMO Program Leader, who led the enormous effort behind Deloitte’s Global Market Trends Report.

Jim also chats with Livia Zufferli, one of the authors of the report’s talent section. Livia is a senior marketing executive with more than 20 years of experience in retail and consumer goods, including time as Target’s Head of Marketing in Canada. A leader in Deloitte’s Customer & Marketing practice, Livia’s areas of focus include brand strategy, integrated marketing planning, communication strategy, advertising, and creative/content development.

Finally, in order to understand the practicality of these findings, Jim speaks with Laura Curtis Ferrera, the Global Chief Marketing Officer at Scotiabank, the third-largest financial services company in Canada.

The topics covered in these conversations include: designing an agile team structure, rethinking influencer strategies, hiring skilled people no matter where they live, making sure your team is in sync with your brand purpose, and much more.
