Talking About Marketing Podcast
Talking About Marketing is a podcast for you to help you thrive in your role as a business owner and/or leader. It’s produced by the Talked About Marketing team of Steve Davis and David Olney, with editing by Tim Whiffen. Artwork by Casey Cumming.
Each marketing podcast episode tips its hat to Philip Kotler’s famous “4 Ps of Marketing” (Product, Price, Place, Promotion), by honouring our own 4 Ps of Podcasting; Person, Principles, Problems, and Perspicacity.
- Person. Some tips to help you in your work/career/life because we believe business IS personal
- Principles. We discuss a key marketing principle and make it practical
- Problems. We answer your questions from our mailbag – [email protected]
- Perspicacity. We look back at an old campaign to sharpen our thinking today
Apart from our love of words, we really love helping people, so we hope this podcast will become a trusted companion for your journey in business.
