Can streetwear be made with zero plastic? Eric Liedtke says it can be, and he is on a mission to systematically change the fashion industry by shifting away from petroleum-based materials to plant-based materials. In 2014, Eric was already a leader in the fashion industry as the Head of Sports Performance at Adidas when the issues of micro and nano plastics were brought to his attention. As a vegan who loves to surf, Eric could not turn away from the fact that his work in fashion was contributing to the problem. By 2019, he stepped away from his executive board position at Adidas to launch UNLESS Collective, a statement streetwear brand with a regenerative creation model, meaning their products are made sustainably using zero plastic and decompose into nutrient-rich soil. UNLESS was recently acquired by Under Armour, and with that acquisition, Eric was also hired as their executive vice president of brand strategy. In today’s episode, Alan and Eric talk about what the acquisition means for UNLESS Collective’s mission, how it fits into Under Armour’s larger strategy, and where Eric thinks the Under Armour brand can go. UNLESS is on the cutting edge of sustainable fashion, and solutions to many of its challenges are still being invented. The backing of Under Armour has empowered UNLESS to invest in the research needed to make Eric’s dreams a reality. With a background leading brands like Reebok, Eric also understands that UNLESS must meet consumers where they are and not ask them to compromise their tastes or budgets. Once the tech is fully developed and brought to market correctly, Eric believes they will truly transform the fashion industry. Key quotes: “People care. The [challenge] is they don’t want to compromise their taste or the quality of the product for their values, and they don’t want to compromise really too much on price.” - Eric Liedtke, executive vice president of brand strategy at Under Armour and founder and chief executive officer of UNLESS Collective “So, step one, get the value at the same level they’re [the customer is] expecting, get the quality at the same level they’re expecting, get the taste at the same level they’re expecting, [and] get it built on a better stack. Step two is scaling the brand and getting the volumes to hit the unit economics on par.” - Eric Liedtke, executive vice president of brand strategy at Under Armour and founder and chief executive officer of UNLESS Collective In this episode, you'll learn: How UNLESS is overcoming the challenges of manufacturing streetwear with zero petroleum-based materials Eric's strategy to bring innovative value-aligned products to market at scale The importance of authenticity in modern marketing Key highlights: [02:25] Eric's career path [06:40] The founding story of UNLESS [10:40] Zero wasted hours [13:20] The logistics of moving from plastic to plant-based [18:00] Evolving marketing with technology [21:30] Benefits of working with Under Armour [23:45] Propelling the Under Armour brand [27:15] An experience that defines you: Having purpose-led parents [30:10] Advice to your younger self: Don’t let perfect get in the way of better [31:25] A topic marketers need to learn more about: People want real [34:00] Subcultures to follow: Surf [35:40] Largest opportunity and threat to marketers today: AI and authenticity Resources mentioned: Eric Liedtke UNLESS Collective Under Armour Parley for the Oceans Follow the podcast: Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Amazon Music Listen on Audible Listen on iHeart Radio Listen on Spotify Connect with Eric Liedtke, UNLESS Collective, and Under Armour Eric Liedtke on LinkedIn Eric Liedtke on Instagram UNLESS Collective on Instagram UNLESS Collective on TikTok Under Armour on X Under Armour Instagram Connect with Alan Hart and Deloitte Digital: Alan Hart on X Alan Hart on LinkedIn Deloitte Digital on LinkedIn Deloitte Digital on Instagram Deloitte Digital on YouTube Deloitte Digital on Threads…

What do executive recruiters look for when placing chief marketing officer (CMO) candidates? Why do CMOs have some of the shortest average tenures among the C-suite ? Richard Sanderson has spent nearly his entire career as an executive recruiter. He began as an intern at Russell Reynolds Associates in the United Kingdom, then eventually joined them full-time, and was relocated to the United States. He went on to get his Master of Business Administration from the University of Chicago before shifting into a new role as Senior Associate at Booz & Company. After five years in consulting, Richard rejoined Russell Reynolds Associates before moving into his current marketing, communications, and sales practice leader role at Spencer Stuart. In his role, he has led a series of high-profile Fortune 500 chief marketing officer (CMO) searches. In today's episode, Alan and Richard break down the 2025 Chief Marketing Officer Tenure Study. They discuss what the data shows regarding career trajectories, changing titles and expectations, and the future of marketing leadership. Richard also shares what he seeks in CMO candidates when filling a role, provides listeners with actionable tips for interviews, and suggests that marketers align their language with their CEO’s priorities. In this episode, you'll learn: The ABCs of interviewing: Leading practices and common pitfalls Career paths for CMOs after their tenure What shifting marketing leadership titles means for the role Key quotes: “Yes, it's your resume that gets your foot in the door... but it's the chemistry and the culture that gets you the job.” - Richard Sanderson, marketing, sales, and communications practice leader at Spencer Stuart “Low tenure is not a sign of failure... Many marketing leaders are being promoted into bigger and better roles. So, in other words, short tenure [does not mean] a bunch of CMOs [are] being fired. It's quite the opposite... a bunch of CMOs being promoted and given other opportunities.” - Richard Sanderson, marketing, sales, and communications practice leader at Spencer Stuart “Ultimately, when you think about the constituents of the C-suite, who is the voice of the customer? Is it the chief financial officer? Not really. Is it the chief information officer? I don't think so. Is it the chief HR leader? No. Really... the marketing leader is the true customer or consumer advocate; they are the voice of the customer.” - Richard Sanderson, marketing, sales, and communications practice leader at Spencer Stuart Key highlights: [02:10] A new (destructive) addition to the family [03:35] Richard’s unusual path to executive recruiting [06:55] How to shine in the job search and interview [13:36] CMO tenure data [17:00] Why CEO tenure is an outlier [19:05] Where do the CMOs go?

What lessons can marketers learn from Taylor Swift’s massive success? In today's episode, Alan Hart talks with Kevin Evers, senior editor at Harvard Business Review and author of the book There’s Nothing Like This: The Strategic Genius of Taylor Swift, about the branding and strategy lessons marketers can learn from the record-breaking artist. He reveals what prompted him to write about Swift and the commonalities he discovered between Taylor, Jeff Bezos, Jerry Garcia, The Beatles, and Reddit's true crime communities. Kevin explains that since the start of her career, Taylor has created “blank space” for herself in crowded categories through innovative differentiation techniques, like insisting on writing her own songs as a teen girl for teen girls at a time when most hits on country radio were performed by men. He notes she has a classic entrepreneurial spirit that has helped her beat the odds and defy what the data said was possible to reach levels of fame beyond most people’s expectations. Kevin and Alan discuss the rebranding lessons marketers can learn from Taylor’s transition from country to pop music and noting how she integrates personal connection into every aspect of her approach while maintaining the allure of scarcity with her dedicated fanbase. Kevin suggests that Taylor Swift’s success goes beyond her songwriting talent and superstar status. He believes it’s her strategic marketing approach and deep connection with her fans that truly set her apart—a lesson that all marketers can learn from. Key quotes: "Her customer obsession is her secret sauce. Again, incredibly talented, a great songwriter, but talent isn’t necessarily a scalable asset, but she knows that her fans are a scalable asset.” - Kevin Evers, senior editor at Harvard Business Review “She sets high expectations and then she exceeds those expectations. And in most cases, she gives fans more than they maybe even deserve and I think that fan obsession is a big part of why her fans stick around for so long, and when she’s able to recruit new fans.” - Kevin Evers, senior editor at Harvard Business Review In this episode, you'll learn: The importance of Taylor Swift's “fan-first approach” Rebranding lessons from her shift from country to pop How Taylor has wisely evolved her marketing strategy over the years Key highlights: [01:30] Delayed speech created a great interviewer [03:00] Kevin’s unconventional path to Harvard Business Review [03:55] Where did the idea for his new book come from? [05:15] Taylor Swift as a brand [06:35] A “fans first approach” [12:00] Taylor’s approach to risk [14:00] Rebranding from country to pop [16:55] Pros and cons of fame [18:25] How Tayor's media strategy has shifted [24:45] Differentiation in a crowded category [28:45] An experience that defines you: Embracing the creative process [30:20] Advice to your younger self: It’s all going to be okay [33:20] A topic marketers need to learn more about: What will break through?

What if you could know how new creative would perform before you invest in it? This is the exact functionality Adobe's latest creative intelligence tools are working towards. In today's episode, Alan chats with Ed Kennedy, group product marketing manager at Adobe, to explore their new Generative AI (GenAI) tools. These tools provide a gateway for marketers to scale the impact of GenAI while maintaining the balance between cost efficiency and performance. Ed leads all the go-to-market strategy for Adobe's new GenAI products. This includes GenStudio for Performance Marketing which provides granular insights down to specific attributes of each ad, so marketers and creatives can work simultaneously to activate high-performing campaigns. GenAI is causing many agencies and brand leaders to reevaluate their operating model, but Ed tells Alan that Adobe believes in an "AI-created, human-perfected" approach. This means GenAI takes on the low-value, repetitive, mundane tasks in the creative process, and then humans review and approve. If “marketers are marketing to consumers or businesses, then the humans are going to be in the driving seat,” Ed notes in response to concerns around AI. He also outlines the best use cases for AI agents and cautions marketers against skepticism of this evolving technology. Key quotes: “We're big on "AI created, human-perfected" in all the go-to-market messaging that we're bringing out and helping CMOs understand they can do this.” - Ed Kennedy, group product marketing manager at Adobe “If you can look at the performance of the ad itself on the content or creative level, you can quickly double down on what's working and turn off what's not working. And I think that's where we're saving our clients spend because we're just not putting dollars behind bad creative or just underperforming creative.” - Ed Kennedy, group product marketing manager at Adobe “Our ultimate vision is that you should actually be able to score your creative before it ships – if it actually is going to perform well.” - Ed Kennedy, group product marketing manager at Adobe “We're trying to get to a place... where the brief becomes the new prompt. So instead of entering a prompt to get content, you submit your brief and ... the agent starts working for you.” - Ed Kennedy, group product marketing manager at Adobe In this episode, you'll learn: Potential business use cases for GenAI today How Adobe GenStudio is bringing marketers and creatives closer together through data What the future of marketing jobs may look like Key highlights: [01:25] Yoga for work-life balance [02:50] Ed’s path to Adobe [03:55] The scope of his role [04:30] GenAI to drive advertising performance [06:05] Versioning with GenAI [07:45] Reevaluating the operating model [10:05] Scaling the impact of GenAI [11:45] Cost efficiency versus performance [12:50] What is creative intelligence?

Mike Manheimer is the chief customer officer (CCO) at Postscript—and a soon-to-be first-time father. Postscript is a short message system (SMS) marketing platform powered by AI, designed to help e-commerce brands within the Shopify ecosystem build personalized connections with their customers to drive revenue. Mike entered the SaaS world straight out of college at a startup called WebPT, where he worked his way up to marketing director. After leaving WebPT, Mike held various leadership roles at Gainsight before serving as head of growth marketing at Front. He joined Postscript in 2021 as chief marketing officer and transitioned to his current role as chief customer officer in late 2024, leading both the marketing and customer teams. In today’s episode, Alan and Mike discuss conversational commerce, exploring how SMS text messaging, chatbots, and voice assistants are transforming the shopping experience. They examine the potential rise of SMS texts in marketing and why conversational commerce hasn’t fully taken off yet. Their conversation also highlights Postscript's decision to specialize rather than consolidate, and the AI innovations they are using to boost revenue. Mike also shares common misconceptions about SMS marketing, notes a consumer shift toward analog experiences, and encourages marketers to adopt an AI-first mindset. Key quotes: “When I joined Postscript, part of my thesis was that two megatrends were intersecting, and they weren’t going to stop: We’re seeing more transactions done online over time. The second is, we see messaging as a major component of the way people spend their time online, especially on their mobile devices. We see messaging in a bunch of forms but especially text messaging dominates the time people are using their phones. And so, Postscript exists at the intersection of both those trends.” – Mike Manheimer, CCO at Postscript “SMS is the only channel that exists for marketers that is fundamentally ‘two-way’ from the get-go.” – Mike Manheimer, CCO at Postscript “When you nail that—you know, the voice, the value add, and the consent—then what you end up with is a very highly engaged, high-earning channel. And a lot of people are finding that they're actually making more money off of an SMS list that ends up being only one-fifth of the size of the email list that they've been cultivating over the last few years because of the integration with the phone, the immediacy of the channel, and the engagement that you're able to generate.” - Mike Manheimer, CCO at Postscript “Cracking the code on conversational for your brand not only makes you feel good, it’s a financial imperative.” - Mike Manheimer, CCO at Postscript In this episode, you'll learn: Why SMS is yielding results in conversational commerce Benefits of specialization versus consolidation in SaaS What AI innovations are driving revenue Key highlights: [01:40] Preparing for fatherhood [03:10] Career path to Postscript [06:45] What is Postscript?

Tariq Hassan is a proud girl dad, a transformational leader, and the chief marketing and customer experience (CX) officer at McDonald’s USA.

Before moving into his first chief marketing officer role at Petco, he held marketing and brand leadership roles at HP, Omnicom Group, and Bank of America.

On today’s show, Alan and Tariq discuss Tariq’s career at McDonald’s and how he has helped bring the iconic brand into the digital future. They also explore how McDonald’s has modernized its approach to digital engagement and solidified its cultural relevance by mindfully using data and digging deep into “fan truths.” Tariq shares the four key areas that fueled this transformation: influencing food culture, deeply engaging with fans, leveraging data for personalization, and using McDonald’s influence to shape cultural moments. In this episode, Alan and Tariq also explore the return of McDonald’s beloved characters and the leadership lessons Tariq is taking with him as he moves on to his next career venture. Tariq opens about his personal experiences, including navigating the college search as a dad and how his daughter’s cancer journey influenced his outlook.
