A CMO Confidential Interview with Kip Knight. The founder of CMO Coaches, former CMO of Taco Bell, and President of H&R Block’s US business, joins the show for a second time as we switch formats and have him lead a 2-way dialogue following up on our “Why the Short Shelf Life of CMO’s” session. We discuss marketing as “the offense” of the company, how to be “an optimist with objectivity,” the obligation of marketers to translate their budgets into sales and profit, the Marketing CFO position, and “the difference between a promise and a trend.”
