Building Winning Marketing Plans with Scott Todaro

What is the true meaning of a marketing campaign? Hint: you are doing it wrong: The term "campaign" is one of most overused words in a marketer's vocabulary, and unfortunately, it is often misused. In this episode of The Next CMO podcast, we speak to Scott Todaro, the CMO of Plannuh. Scott not only has deep experience as a marketing executive, but he also taught a popular class in marketing planning at The University of Massachusetts. Scott recently wrote a blog on this topic and we discuss that blog, some of his favorite tools, among other topics related to planning marketing campaigns.
