Want some words of advice from 10 different professional marketers?! Look no further.... Today I presented at the fantastic Marketing Meet-up event run by Vicky King (Plus Accounting) and Amy Pulling (Cognitive Law) - I was teaching the room all about podcasting, so we thought we'd record and publish one as a live example.My challenge to them was to give me a 'vox pop' - some words of wisdom or a favourite quote, to give a little inspiration to the Marketing 101 listeners!Enjoy!Thanks, AlexAlex Ryan - Marketing Consultant: alexryanuk.comFor the Marketing 101 blog: http://101blog.co.uk/Marketing 101 Agency: marketing-101.co.ukLinktree (social media etc.): https://linktr.ee/marketing.101
