One of the best things about interviewing “the world’s most interesting people” is the opportunity to meet and interact with global thought leaders; individuals from diverse cultures and backgrounds who are able to share their unique stories and experiences with our MIPtalk audience. We always appreciate when our guests take the time to speak with us and are genuinely humbled when we’ve made a positive enough impression that they ask us to be a part of new initiatives that they’re involved with.
As part of our work with the Center for Innovation and Humanity this past January, we interviewed Rob Wolcott, Lecturer of Entrepreneurship & Innovation at the Kellogg School of Management and author of the book Grow From Within: Mastering Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
Episode 36 – Rowe, Markowitz & Cogan – Gimme Shelter
Of all the characters MIPtalk co-host Brad Rowe has brought to life in various film and television roles throughout his acting career, the one that fans still regularly approach him about is Shaun, the writer who develops a deep emotional and physical bond with the budding painter/graffiti artist Zach in the 2007 independent feature film Shelter, written and directed by Jonah Markowitz. The winner of the 2008 Audience Award for Dramatic Feature at Outfest, the film was heralded as a reinvention of LGBT film making that defies the conventions of gay cinema to tell a heartfelt and authentic love story in a unique setting.
Episode 35 – Jeffrey Hayzlett – Conditions of Satisfaction
Jeffrey Hayzlett is not your typical C-Level marketing executive. A committed social media practitioner, he has made it his priority to directly engage customers like never before in his role as Chief Marketing Officer of the Eastman Kodak Company. In the latest installment of CMO Insights we speak with Hayzlett about the transformation underway at Kodak and how he and his team are leading the charge in product innovation, value creation and customer engagement.
As CMO at Kodak, Mr. Hayzlett is responsible for the company’s worldwide marketing operations including the design and implementation of all marketing strategies, investments, policies, and processes. He leads the company’s efforts for Strategy and Planning, Marketing Programs, Marketing Network Operations, Brand Development and Management, Business Development, and Corporate Sponsorships. He is also responsible for the company’s Corporate Communications, Public Relations and Public Affairs organizations.
Episode 34 – Larry Hertzog & Lauren Proctor – One Hundred
Long time listeners of our podcast know that MIPtalk’s existence is due in part to the late Larry Hertzog. Larry was a successful and highly regarded writer/producer of many famous television shows including “Kate Loves a Mystery,” “Hart to Hart,” “Hardcastle and McCormick,” “Stingray,” “J.J. Starbuck,” “seaQuest,” “Nowhere Man,” “Profiler,” “Walker, Texas Ranger,” “Hunter,” “La Femme Nikita” and “Missing”.
Episode 33 – Terri Graham – Jack’s Back
At most companies, it would probably be frowned upon to regularly poke fun at your CEO in most of your brand communication, let alone develop a national campaign where he gets hit by a bus and his life hangs in the balance. But that’s just an average day for the marketing team at the Jack in the Box Innovation Center in San Diego, CA. In the latest installment of CMO Insights we interview Terri Graham, SVP and CMO for restaurant company Jack in the Box since September 2007.
