This episode covers his work for Beyonce where he learnt so much about where the Queens tribe wanted to be to his work understanding and influencing culture today.
We dive deep into Marcus's fascinating story, exploring how his early admiration for icons like Michael Jackson and Boyz II Men shaped his career aspirations. Marcus opens up about the challenges he faced in the music industry, which eventually led him to discover his passion for marketing, where he found a sense of belonging and purpose. He sheds light on the importance of community over fan clubs, recounting how his team discovered Beyonce's dedicated fanbase, the Beyhive, wanted something different to what the Beyentourage was set up to give them. Marcus explains how brands can tap into cultural production and human behaviour to drive meaningful connections and garner loyalty.
We also tackle the complexities of segmentation and identity in marketing, with Marcus elaborating on how to truly understand and engage with diverse audiences. He emphasises the power of curiosity and cultural observation, encouraging marketers to look beyond the conventional and explore the nuanced corners of human interaction. Our discussion touches on the significance of micro-influencers and social proof, as Marcus shares his insights into why smaller, more authentic influencers often wield greater impact than big-name celebrities. He also delves into the unpredictable nature of cultural moments, using examples like the viral success of 'Jools Lebron and Demure' to illustrate how randomness and social contagion can be leveraged for marketing success.
Marcus's new book, 'For the Culture,' serves as the foundation for many of the ideas we discuss, providing rich context and actionable insights for marketers. He also introduces an upcoming course with Cannes Lions, designed to help professionals unlock the influence of culture—a marketer's greatest cheat code.

As I continue to invest time in AI and discover the impact and implications it is and will have on our industry, I have used NotebookLM to create this discussion based podcast episode based on the September Newsletter. I would love to get your thoughts on it, please leave a comment.
I will upload the regular audio file as well.
In this edition of That’s What I Call Marketing, we take a look back at what hit the top of the marketing charts in September. There’s a lot to unpack, from campaigns that caught my eye to debates that will get you thinking. We dive into some big questions around attribution—Analytics Partners ask if it’s doing more harm than good—and data-driven targeting, where Jon Bradshaw reckons the martech industry might be missing the mark.
Some standout campaigns? Well, Tesco’s homewares range goes all high fashion, brought to life by BBH London with some truly slick OOH work. We’ve also got G-Star RAW teaming up with Olympic gold medallist Rhys McClenaghan in a fragrance-style spot that’s dripping with effortless cool. And then there’s John Lewis, slowly building to its Christmas crescendo with a new three-part campaign kicking off with a nod to its century-spanning heritage.
But it's not all about the big brands. Tombola’s fun and surreal ad starring comedian Jo Griffin breaks the mould in the hyper-competitive online bingo space, while Firehouse Subs deliver laughs with their return of the ‘Hot Sauce Table’ in a spicy series of ads. Oh, and can we talk about AI? From Adidas experimenting with AI-driven ads to Viant launching ViantAI, the future of AI in marketing is a hot topic that won’t go away (even if it sometimes feels like we wish it would!).
As always, we’ll also look at a few creative stunts, like Pizza Hut’s genius move of printing job seekers’ CVs on pizza boxes—guaranteed to get attention. Plus, a clever campaign from Dad Shift pushing for better paternity leave in the UK using statues in central London as part of their message.
So grab a cup of tea, dive in, and don’t forget to leave a comment with what caught your eye this month!

Another two part episode to conclude our Cannes Sessions. First up is James Hurman, founder of Previously Unavailable and Co-Founder of Tracksuit and he is followed by Jimmy Knowles of Canva.
Part One
James Hurman returns as a guest to That’s What I Call Marketing, we met to discuss his book Future Demand, which is a great read I would highly recommend and I wanted to catch up with James to chat about how Future Demand has really captured the imagination as an important way to reframe conversations. We chat about James’s presentation at Cannes carried out by Tracksuit and presented alongside TikTok and James explains the implications of this research and how the study concluded that brand awareness significantly impacts growth efficiency and conversion rates, which was consistent across both Amazon and TikTok. High brand awareness correlates with better performance marketing results, emphasising the importance of building brand awareness to sustain profitable business growth. I also ask James his views on Mark Ritsons views on smaller brands remaining small, James counters that with the right strategy, small brands can indeed evolve into large brands, albeit with successive and creative efforts. The conversation touches on the critical role of educating finance and venture capital communities on the value of brand-building, emphasising the need for data-driven approaches to justify marketing investments. They stress the importance of aligning marketing strategies with financial metrics to gain broader organisational support. The discussion wraps up with reflections on the role of creativity in marketing acknowledging that while brand-building efforts must be measured and justified, creativity remains a powerful tool for driving business growth and engaging audiences.
Part Two
Jimmy Knowles heads up experiential at Canva. Now Im a bit of a Canva super fan, I love the product, I am able to do so much because of it that I truly would not be able to do if I wasnt using it. So I was really looking forward to meeting Jimmy and talk about the Canva rocketship and its 10 year overnight success. And then get to talk about the now infamous Canva Create Rap that Jimmy and the team created to launch their enterprise product. It says a lot about the culture of Canva that they chose a rap battle to launch an enterprise product, it got massive pick up, something most product launches cant say. Great to get an insight into how Canva thinks about these things, its definitely a disruptive product and they think about continuing to disrupt the market.

Jon Lombardo and Peter Weinberg built a reputation as the gurus of B2B marketing, being named as the Les & Peter of B2B Marketing (by Les and Peter) and they took time out of their yacht hopping in Cannes to join me to talk about what they are up to since leaving the B2B Institute. Before we get into the details of the episode, in a highly controversial moment, Jon and Peter take time out to clarify and rectify a comment they made on the Uncensored CMO podcast recently. Now getting into the conversation we have, we of course talk about their journey at LinkedIn and why they decided to leave. We dive into the core principles that guided their work at the B2B Institute, including the influence of Ehrenberg-Bass and Binet & Field on marketing effectiveness. They reflect on the impact they had at LinkedIn, helping elevate B2B marketing, and how they perceive the opportunities in B2B sector growth compared to B2C. They explain the challenges they faced with scaling traditional market research in the B2B sector, citing its high costs and slow pace. This led them to explore and adopt 'Synthetic Research' as a scalable solution that leverages AI to mimic customer responses accurately and cost-effectively - it is fascinating. We discuss how their new company Evidenza aims to build finance-friendly marketing plans using synthetic research. This method allows marketers to generate reliable insights quickly and more affordably, democratising access to robust market research. They emphasise the importance of asking the right questions and how synthetic research can help marketers avoid limitations like 'survey fatigue' and 'survey remorse.' Jon and Pete also explore the unique benefits of working independently after leaving LinkedIn, highlighting their newfound creative freedom and ability to directly apply marketing theories to their business. Their vision for Evidenza is fascinating and speaking to them about it, the passion is incredible, their innovative approach is set to revolutionise the field by making customer insights more accessible, faster, and cost-effective.
