Editor's Notes
Context is King
Marketing Mantras –one of my favourites is Know your Audience – it is transferable, maleable and yet permanent
It underpins everything we do in marketing and communications – cuts through echo chambers and has the side effect of making you aware how similar or not we are to our target audiencce.
3 Realms: Today, tomorrow relationships
Finance, Operations, and Marketing; but you have to be able to speak finance
Not enough to say you don't like numbers – if true then perhaps marketing is not right for you.
Women & leaders in marketing – quite the Venn Diagram

How do you know you have made a diamond? Metrics, Metrics.
Not only is it true that “what gets measured gets one”, it is also true that if you have poor or unclear objectives and for whatever reason,

As I said earlier... now we have everything to make a diamond...
context, objectives, audience, messages, disciplines, media and integration...
Now we can focus on the 3 Rs...
Relevancy - stay relevant, invest in yourself
Relationships – team sport invest in your relationships
Results – metrics! Only because it’s so important... Don’t Watch – test & measure, rinse & repeat....
