<p>“It may be time to cut your marketing budget”... said no marketing agency ever. Invest in only those marketing activities that drive performance and results.</p><p>Audit your marketing spend and cut (or reallocate) executions that don’t deliver. If your marketing activities don’t deliver quantifiable results (that means revenue, not just leads, like and shares), shift the balance to things that convert to profitable revenue and margin.</p>

Retail Is Not Dead

Welcome to TMD On the Record, a podcast where we talk about the relationship between brands and customers.

Join us as we take a look at some of the challenges facing brands as they work to understand a more empowered customer…

…and the empowered customers that expect and demand more from the brands they choose to be loyal to.

We’ll examine what’s working and what’s not.

The gap between what the relationship is and what it needs to be.

And what to do about it – now, next and later.

Whether you’re in marketing, communications, sales or operations, this conversation is for you.

And every episode features TMD’s 10th Voice principle, which is a deliberate attempt to challenge, question and empower different perspectives and opinions. We believe this empowerment is fundamental to instilling diversity in thought, a core tenet of TMD's culture.
