The Rockstar CMO Studio: Cathy’s Take on 90 Days

This week, Cathy McKnight, Chief Problem Solver at Seventh Bear, makes her monthly visit to the studio, and our host Ian Truscott gets her take on a marketing leader's first 90 days. 

Some talking points from this week:

• Cathy is a fan of the first 30/60/90 day plans - but also day 1 and week 1

• The first 30 days are about listening and building trust

• The importance of a comms plan

• Where measurement, data, and analysis fit in

• Employee engagement as part of marketing amplification

• Focus on leveraging team strengths rather than just fixing weaknesses

• Common mistakes when moving too quickly

• AI’s role in all of this

As always, we welcome your feedback. If you have a suggestion for a topic that is hot for you, please get in touch using the links below.
