It's pretty self-explanatory. But if you want some more detail: It's like a movie magazine/diary you listen to instead of read. Come sit with me, Daniel Berrios, and let's talk film. It's always a good time. Twitter: @TheMovies_Pod

These folks, of …

When I started in B2B, my mentor told me, “We call this business to business, but make no mistake, people buy products, not businesses. It’s people who make decisions for these businesses.” Here’s where the rubber meets the road. If you’re only focused on businesses as accounts, you’re overlooking opportunities. For example, as our latest guest sha…

An old Angolan proverb suggests it is the voyage not the ship that is important. And for the people of Angola the voyage has been a long one, from the era of the might Kongo empire, through the slave trade, colonialism, an independence struggle, and more recently decades of civil war. Despite this, in 2015 the capital city Luanda was in was listed …

Look, let’s face it, our industry can have a bad reputation. And I can see why. Just scroll through YouTube or social media and you’ll see self-appointed gurus shouting about tricks and hacks and shortcuts. But sustainably successful marketing is not about shortcuts, it’s about digging into the very essence of what it means to be a human being. Sou…

Two years ago, I fulfilled a listener request from my friend Resa to review Ridley Scott's GLADIATOR (Season 1, Episode 37). It only makes sense, then, her next request was for me to talk about the trailer for GLADIATOR II!I love Ridley Scott flicks and this trailer hints towards another notch in the belt of successes for one of our greatest living…

The Accidental Recycled Poop Marketer! That’s the headline of a recent podcast guest application.

Imagine one day being cast out of your society, subjected to violence or killed simply because you continue to participate in the traditional rituals and activities your community have practiced for generations. It might sound extraordinary but as we’ve seen down the centuries this is what happens when age old activities are suddenly rebranded as w…

Be careful you don’t engage in marketing color by numbers so to speak. It’s easy to get lost in process flowcharts and databases. You could build out the perfect infrastructure – the right media buys, marketing automation and drip campaigns all set, everything is being properly measured and attributed – yet in all that work it is easy to overlook w…

Last episode, I interviewed the director of A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE, Michael Sarnoski. In preparation, I watched all the movies in the trilogy and figured it was a good time, six years removed from the first film, to talk about the franchise as a whole - pregnancy, an Irishman's Southern accent and the mighty skill of one Lupita N'yongo. --- Follow …

Who is your ideal customer? And how does your brand serve them? Yes, I know you have KPIs to hit this quarter. Leads. Sales. A specific revenue target. And so it can be easy to quickly drill down to targets. But all marketing beings by asking… who is the ideal customer? And how does our brand serve them? So I loved a lesson I recently read in a pod…

Where do you see yourself in five years? I always hated this interview question. It’s not that I’m against planning; it’s that I’m for flexibility. And I don’t want to get trapped in a five-year plan. I try to focus on delivering value today helping people out, and improving my future self for tomorrow, and from there, opportunities naturally arise…

In 1986, anthropologist Patricia Wright arrived in the tropical paradise of Madagascar. Seemingly, she was hunting a ghost: the greater bamboo lemur — then believed to be extinct. Lemurs predate humans by millions of years and have long been prevalent on Madagascar. In contrast, the first human settlers arrived on the Island within the last few tho…

You can’t do everything. So you essentially have to make some ‘bets,’ for lack of a better word. What is going to have the biggest impact with your audience? Focus your energy and budget there, to make the biggest splash you can. OK, that’s a boring way to say it. So I like how my next guest worded it in his podcast guest application – ‘If you're g…

Mike Cheslik's HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS feels like a small miracle: an homage to Looney Tunes silliness shot in black & white without dialogue. The beavers hunted by bumbling drunken applejack-turned-fur trapper Jean Kayak (Ryland Brickson Cole Tews) are all represented by Disney World-style costumes (yep, big heads and cartoon faces). Hell, every anima…

The Borat movies were a fun but far fetched parody right? Think again. The Central Asian nation of Turkmenistan is currently ruled by the clownish Gurbangulyýewiç Berdimuhamedow and his son Serdar. He has styled himself as an action hero. Unfortunately he isn't very good at racing, handling horses, firing guns, singing, dancing, weight lifting, rap…

In the fast-paced world of marketing, precision can often be a double-edged sword. In our this episode, Kiara Kempski, Vice President of Global Consumer & Vendor Marketing at The Knot Worldwide (https://www.theknotww.com/), shares why sometimes ‘hand-grenade math’—a rough yet pragmatic approach—is more effective than chasing false precision. I disc…

How I Made It In Marketing is not about marketing. Not really. It’s about marketers. And the funny thing about marketers is that we’re not just marketers, we’re also human beings. So to succeed as marketers, we also have to be successful humans. Which is why I always love a lesson like – ‘Balance ambition with well-being.’ To hear the story behind …

I like to call it blandvertising. I’m sure you’ve read it and heard it before. There are words. Lots of them. They fill a space – in an ad, on a landing page, in a press release, maybe even in a keynote presentation. You’ve seen these words before if you’re in the target audience. Scalable. Leading. Agile. Enterprise-grade. Full-service. Data-drive…

Despite being orphaned at a young age, Simon Bolivar was far from an orphan Annie character. Born into a wealthy Criollo family in 1783, his education continued before he made an extensive trip around Europe.

“The difficult we do immediately. The impossible takes a little longer.” That quote is from David Ben-Gurion. And it reminds me of marketing. We’re in the digital age, or maybe we’ve crossed over into the AI age. Either way, we don’t have the long deadlines we had when I started my career writing print ads. And that’s just the difficult. What about…

I’ve been watching the new Steve Martin documentary, and it includes a clip of him accepting the Mark Twain Prize. He calls it “The only significant American award for comedy…except for money.” It reminded me of our own industry, but in a different way. We have many awards for creativity, and I am a creative person so I love them, but ultimately th…

Rome's first and arguably greatest Emperor Octavian (Augustus) helped to evolve and expand the Roman Republic into an empire that encompassed France, parts of Germany, Asia Minor, Egypt and North Africa. But the seemingly all conquering Roman met his match in an African woman called Candace. Who was she? How did she come to be the de facto leader o…

Wherever you are in your career today, you are not necessarily stuck there. I’ve heard time again from guests on How I Made It In Marketing about how they’ve been able to make dramatic, perhaps unlikely career shifts. On the flip side, if you are a hiring manager, do not pigeonhole potential recruits based only on their current experience. For as m…

One of my favorite career analogies is the music video for No Rain, by Blind Melon. There’s a girl in a honeybee costume, dancing around, and she’s so sad because no one seems to care or understand. And then one day, she comes across this field filled with people in honeybee costumes hopping and leaping around. A look of elation crosses her face, a…

As an addendum to last episode, I interviewed Andy Brown and Brian Lindstrom, the directors of LOST ANGEL: THE GENIUS OF JUDEE SILL, about the decade-long process of bringing their music documentary to life. They chat about the x-factor moment that brought the movie's structure to light, the responsibilities felt from telling the underrated & under…

LOST ANGEL: THE GENIUS OF JUDEE SILL is a documentary detailing the life and music of '70s singer-songwriter Judee Sill using as much of her own voice as possible. This could devolve into another talking-heads affair but having Judee's voice narrate and her art take animated flight on screen gives the movie an authenticity and more intimate connect…

30 years ago the US brokered Oslo accords seemed to herald a new era of peaceful coexistence for Israelis and Palestinians. Yasser Arafat -- long demonized as a terrorist in the Tel Aviv, whilst being hailed as a freedom fighter in Palestine -- shared a Nobel Peace Prize with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and politician Shimon Peres. 30 year…
