Paul and Rob discuss the impact of empathy in marketing. Rob demystifies empathy and reminds us of the enormous influence it can have in all aspects of marketing. It is something that we frequently overlook, from marketing teams to campaigns.

If we stop talking about data for a moment, there is huge gap in marketing for empathy. Rob gets Paul to reflect on his own definition of empathy and how this makes him a better leader.
