This week, Jim welcomes Melody Lee, the Chief Marketing Officer of Mercedes-Benz USA. Mercedes-Benz is one of the world’s most enduring luxury brands and will celebrate its 100th anniversary next year.
Melody’s career in marketing had an inauspicious start. She graduated from Georgia Tech with both a BS and an MS in international affairs, took a $12/hour internship at a PR firm, and never looked back. After six years in PR, Melody made the jump to the client side with a six-year stint at Cadillac. She then held senior roles at Shiseido and MillerKnoll before joining Mercedes-Benz in the summer of 2023.
Recorded during the Cannes Festival of Creativity, this episode features a conversation about modernizing legacy brands and building your creative chops.
