There’s nothing like a good Aussie road-trip and no road-trip is complete without a good pit-stop. While Maccas fries or a 3-week-old hot dog might feel like a good idea at the time, it never takes long for the pangs of regret to set in.  Turns out there’s a healthier option available and it’s making big inroads in the quick service restaurant (QSR) sector. On this episode of The CMO Show we meet James Wood, Marketing Director at Oliver's, a quick service whole foods brand with 18 restaurants along Australia’s east coast.  James reflects on some of the challenges and opportunities that come with being a disruptor in the QSR space, and how Oliver’s is finding its groove at just the right time.  You might also like…    How Reflections Holiday Parks is leaning-in to sustainable tourism    How Collective Wellness Group is making gains in the fitness industry    How Heaps Normal is finding new solutions to old problems

The times they are a changing but when it comes to social media, change is constant and inevitable. So how do you harness the force of a platform that is shifting and disrupting itself? And what will 2016 look like for social media marketing?  In our final episode for 2015, Richard Spencer, head of agency at Isentia TwoSocial, drops by to chat with Mark and JV about who nailed and failed it in social media marketing this year. Richard also shares his thoughts on long-form content, the rise of the vertical video and wearable technology. "I think the one defining constant is change effectively, and I think we as organisations are still learning how to use direct contact with consumers and stakeholders to great effect - we’re still getting our head around how that fits as users," Richard said. "I think that’s blurring the lines between how we’re using the channel from an organisational perspective, from an HR point of view, from a customer service perspective, from a marketing and a communications perspective, from a direct sales perspective and all of those are, in effect blending into one."

Ian Lowe

It’s the divide that every marketer knows about, but is so rarely broached in the workforce. So what is it about sales and marketing that has polarised for so long? And why does this dynamic continue to exist when the outcomes of sales and marketing are actually the same?  This week on The CMO Show it’s all about sales versus marketing. Or is it? We will ask the hard questions in an attempt to work out how these two historically divided fields are colliding and changing. Ian Lowe, founder and CEO at eccoh joins Mark Jones and JV Douglas to chat about why the marketing department should listen to the sales department (and vice versa, of course). With more than 20 years’ experience in sales, Lowe’s vision to pioneer a customer-centric sales revolution is reframing the sales and marketing space. “There’s definitely a bit of tension between sales and marketing and I think part of that tension is because of the internal competitive nature of sales organisations,” Lowe said. “Typically sales people are taught sales skills and sales techniques to control the sales cycle to produce the results that they want to produce. Typically marketers aren’t part of that sort of training.” Lowe’s vision that the customer and their experience be central to the entire sales and marketing process is pioneering a new way of thinking in the Australian marketing industry. “I think sales is something that typically is fear based,” he told Jones and Douglas. “Once we take away all that baggage and all that sort of negativity, people just are able to be themselves and be comfortable with who they are and flourish individually in their lives and in their businesses.”

Aric Dromi

The future of marketing will be driven by machines – we’ll just need to nudge them in the right direction, says Volvo’s chief futurologist Aric Dromi. It’s about shifting mindsets, Dromi says, away from computers as vehicles for serving up data needed to perform analysis, and towards embracing technology as a powerful tool to free up our time for “more human” pursuits of empathy and creativity. “I think one of the greatest lacks in the industry right now is imagination,” he says. “We have all these great tools that enable us to collect information, but don’t have the right people to actually convert that information into creative, crazy ideas that can create engagement with users, customers and consumers.” There’s a new social contract emerging between users and digital engagement, Dromi says, where privacy is a commodity we happily exchange for value. “We need to stop thinking about privacy when we’re looking at these things, and more about the value exchange that we get because we are willing to expose ourselves if we get the right value. “It’s as simple as that.” Join hosts Mark Jones and JV Douglas as they discuss the coming decades of marketing automation, the true value of Snapchat, and how blockchain is actually a philosophical model for digital engagement on this forward thinking episode of The CMO Show.

Lee Tonitto

"Your life’s course is not determined by the things you do or know, it’s really determined by trying hard outside your natural skill set." This is Lee Tonitto's message to marketers who are struggling in the face of disruption and the need to constantly reskill.  This week we take a deep dive into the colourful world of modern marketing to ask the hard questions; What does the future of marketing look like? How is innovation impacting the skills needed to survive and thrive? What should graduates and career professionals do to make sure they remain relevant and continue to add value? In this episode of The CMO Show, Mark and JV are joined by Lee Tonitto, CEO at the Australian Marketing Institute and a lifelong marketer. With more than two decades of experience across several areas of marketing, Lee brings a mix of unique customer insights, industry experience, and data and analytics to the fore, to discuss the current state of the industry and where it's all headed. "The fundamental principles of marketing will always be the same in terms of marketing activity meeting unmet needs. The how marketing is executed has changed enormously, and it's all led by marketing technology and automation," says Lee. In particular, the burgeoning of marketing automation tools and resources available to marketers is having a continual impact on the industry. Five years ago there was around 250 such tools whereas today, marketers have access to around 3,500, says Lee. This is why marketers must commit to being lifelong learners. "I always recommend to marketers, whether they be seasoned professionals or starting out in their career, they keep across the latest trade articles, webinars, podcasts," says Lee. "The dynamic nature of the profession is that if you want to be part of it you need to be relevant and create value."

Emma Williamson

When she became director of Customer Experience at L’Oreal Australia and New Zealand, Emma Williamson was determined to shift the conversation from assuaging customer dissatisfaction to embracing customers as brand advocates. It’s a mindset shift the marketing leader says, and one that is very different to a traditional care role where interaction with customers was kept to a minimum. “The more contact we have, the more we are able to actually refine the way we work,” Williamson says. “And that is really a way that we can be successful and engage with consumers. I want to actually have consumers advocating for us.” Ethics are central to this process, Williamson adds. “It's all about being ethical and showing that you stand for something more than just the bottom line.” “That aligns with what consumers want these days. Their expectations of businesses are so much higher than they were even two years ago,” she says. Tune in as hosts Mark Jones and JV Douglas discuss the challenges of localising content, the value of customers as brand advocates, and the importance of being open to feedback on this cracking episode of The CMO Show.

Philip Otley

Customers. In today's data-driven world they seem somewhat mystical to catch and difficult to keep. So what's the best way to catch new customers - hook, line and sinker? And how can you use branded content to connect with existing customers at multiple touch points?  This week on The CMO Show, Mark and JV delve deep into the world of branded content when they're joined by Philip Otley, a partner at PwC's Experience Centre in Sydney. Philip sheds insight into the world of branded content, bringing his 20 years of experience in the marketing industry to talk about the importance of emotional connections with customers, the rise of data-driven marketing and how creativity still thrives. "Back in the golden age of advertising, there was a cultural monopoly where a small number of channels would actually determine what you would be seeing," Philip told Mark and JV. "Yet the challenge now is we still need to pull those emotional strings but the volume, the number of channels, the competition within content, the amount of user-generated content is much, much higher." Tune in to hear more of Philip's thoughts on how branded content and emotional engagement could help you increase customer retention...

Nick Baker

The move from CMO to CEO is one that’s becoming increasingly common, as customer experience continues to drive brand growth and awareness. This week, in a CMO Show exclusive, Nick Baker sheds light on his recent transition from CMO at Tourism Australia to CEO at Australia’s leading gift experience retailer, RedBalloon. Crediting his strong creative background as having prepared him for the move, Baker talks about the knowledge it takes to succeed at the leadership table, as well as why brands have more success when they listen to their customers. It’s imperative to take note of what a customer thinks of your brand, rather than what you want them to think, he said.

Kelly Slessor

Mobile is where it’s at, right? Turns out that there is a whole world of mobile marketing beyond that which we currently know - and it’s just waiting to be discovered and embraced. It’s a screen, screen, screen world. And this is only the beginning. In this episode of The CMO Show, we delve deep into the world of mobile marketing best practice, digital strategy, and the screen-led existence. Kelly Slessor, founder and director of BanterMob Mobile Marketing, joins Mark and JV in the studio to share insights from her recent Westfield Study Tour, as well as expert advice on the world of screen-based technology and innovation. The crucial point of mobile marketing actually occurs a mere eight seconds into interaction, says Slessor. “We will spend about eight seconds on a mobile so we’ve got less than the attention span of a goldfish when it comes to mobile,” she said. A strong advocate for user experience-led design and functionality on mobile, Slessor also stressed the need for marketers to understand who they are talking to, before jumping into action. “I’ve read so many reviews that said, ‘You know who I am, you know where I am, you know what I’m doing so serve me content and information based on that not on what you think you need to push in terms of a product.’” Tune in to discover how mobile marketing is changing, what it means for the way we think (and shop), and how best to embrace a screen-led world.
