The topic of marketing effectiveness has become quite polarized, particularly here in North America. While some embrace it, others find it too theoretical. In this episode, we're joined by David Tillman, SVP Content at WARC, to delve into Mark Ritson’s recent article, which highlights a critique of (North) American marketers for lagging on the principles of marketing effectiveness. We also take this opportunity to discuss the Contagious NYC event that is happening on January 24th.
We hope you enjoy the show!
