B2B Marketing Exchange

Historically, taking a stand on political and social issues was considered a risky move for marketing and brand executives. In the current climate, however, it's risky not to take a stand. In a world where many judge a company's alignment (or misalignment) with these issues based on how quickly they respond, how can organizations (even those in B2B) ensure that they're not only taking the correct measures, but developing a strategy that can make a tangible impact? It's a lot for even seasoned executives to navigate, and that's why, for this episode of the B2BMX Podcast, we sit down with Katie Martell, marketing truth-teller and an expert on the cross-section of marketing and social movements.
