SBP 050: Love, Laughs and Power Rankings. With Conor Byrne and Elena Hengel.

We decided to switch things up a bit for our last episode of the year. We roped in some of our pretty cool podcast buddies – Elena Hengel from the Marketing Architects Podcast and Conor Byrne, the brain behind 'That's What I Call Marketing!' Together, we dive into our best campaigns of the year from the US, Canada, and Europe. We discuss being bearish or bullish on MMM, B2B creativity, influencer marketing, and much more. Heck, we even rank our favourite marketing brains from the past year! This episode is best enjoyed with your feet up by a crackling fire, and don't forget the eggnog! We thank you all for the incredible support over the last and and we wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. We'll see you in the New Year!
