This week that includes a critique of comments made by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on the topic of diversity in corporate environments along with a financial analysis-driven view in support of it.

In addition, after introducing our Advertising 101 series last week, this week our guest is J. Francisco Escobar, President & Founder of JFE International Consultants, one of the industry’s foremost experts on marketing procurement.   In this episode we explore how and why the marketing procurement function sets so many of the frameworks that define the decisions that marketers make with respect to their media and advertising activities.
