About this listen
Marketing isn’t just about campaigns and conversions—it’s about understanding people. Whether it’s decoding customer behavior, aligning with sales, or proving value to leadership, today’s marketing leaders wear a dozen different hats at once.
In this episode, Sarah and Jay dive into the human side of marketing leadership—why it’s one of the most diverse, cross-functional, and misunderstood roles in business today.
We’re unpacking:
🧠 Why the best marketers think like psychologists, operators, and sales leaders—not just creatives
🎯 The balancing act between brand building, data, and business impact
🤝 How marketing leaders become the bridge between customers, sales, and leadership
⚡ What it really takes to thrive in this role—beyond tactics and strategy
If you’ve ever felt like your job is more than “just marketing”, you’re right—because great marketing is about people, not just processes. Hit play to hear how the best leaders navigate it all.
(And if you want to hear Jay and Sarah riff on Jay's pet grooming days, this is your lucky episode!)
