About this episode

The episode discusses key insights from leaders at major companies about modern marketing leadership and consumer engagement.

Marketing and insights teams waste millions speaking different languages.

They share Unilever's "100-hour consumer passport" rule, the CMO-CFO partnership framework that drives real business growth, and why AI's biggest win isn't productivity. It's freeing up time for human relationships that turn consumer truth into market advantage.
