The Rose & Rockstar: Slowing Down the Vibe

Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar - with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, fractional marketing leader and author Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails while our host Ian Truscott, a CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic.  This week, Ian and Robert discuss an idea Robert shared in his Content Marketing Institute column about slowing down marketing.  The main points from the bar this week: The idea of vibe marketing  Speed in marketing often correlates with quantity, not quality Slowing down marketing advocates for thoughtful and strategic approaches. Checkboxes and agile marketing methodologies can lead to a loss of creativity Marketing should prioritize thoughtful processes over rapid execution The integration of AI should enhance creativity, not replace it Successful marketing often comes from iterative processes, not just quick wins Do you have a question for the bar?
