  • With recent bank failures, rising inflation, and AI threatening to replace human employees in a wide range of industries, there’s a lot of scary noise in the marketplace right now. It can all feel like a bit too much. And as marketers, we already have a bit too much to do. What does the future look like? Where is the economy heading? How can we be “recession proof?”

    That’s why we’re (re)introducing (Re)Sessions, a special four-episode series we've curated to answer the questions on every marketer's mind when dealing with the most certain thing — uncertainty. You'll hear from content marketing leaders and get their take on what may lay ahead — Rachel Downey, Founder and Executive Producer at Share Your Genius, Jeff Coyle, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at MarketMuse, Devin Bramhall, former CEO of the content marketing agency Animalz, and Julian Lewis, Co-founder of StudioPod Media.

    In this series, host Lindsay Tjepkema digs deep with each expert to get their advice on what to do when budgets get slashed, headcount gets lowered, and the marketer’s to-do list gets longer. For instance, while it might be tempting for some brands to liquidate their marketing teams and budgets, long-term growth depends on maintaining a relevant brand presence in the market and investing in innovation, technology, and automation where appropriate. 

    While no strategy can guarantee total immunity from a recession, marketers can be better prepared and proactive in helping their businesses navigate uncertainties more effectively.
