As it's Thanksgiving week, we're taking a moment to look back at one of our favorite episodes with Bennie F. Johnson, CEO of the American Marketing Association. In this conversation, Bennie breaks down how AMA supports both academics and practitioners, shares his perspective on AI's ethical and legal challenges, and even explains why LinkedIn is his platform of choice. Most memorably, he highlights why he believes marketing is equal parts art, science, and magic.
Full Episode Details
The American Marketing Association is probably an organization you're familiar with, and in this episode, we welcomed none other than the CEO himself, Bennie F. Johnson, for a fantastic conversation. Bennie shares some background of AMA and how it supports those on the academic and practitioner side of marketing.
We hear his thoughts on AI and the ethical and legal considerations that marketing pros need to know about – some of which differ by state and country. Bennie also explains why LinkedIn is the platform of choice for his personal brand and AMA.
Bennie shares his advice for the future marketing leaders out there, and we chat about why marketing today doesn't just belong in the creative realm. There's also a science to it (with a dash of magic too). He outlines how marketing pros can communicate the value of marketing to a wider organization, the importance of taking risks, and his advice for the Social Pros community.
