In this episode, we’re joined by Dan Rubel, Brand & Marketing Director at Currys, one of the UK’s most competitive and visible retail brands, to unpack what it really takes to lead marketing today.
Dan shares why marketing is still a powerful profession, why CMOs need to drop the victim mindset, and how commercial credibility unlocks real influence. We explore what it means to move from good to great, how Currys built employee-led brand fame, and why giving teams freedom especially in social, drives relevance and results.
