I can’t tell you how much I admire Mark Ritson and his continued crusade for better marketing. His ability to teach you something in a fun and engaging way and remind you about the essence of marketing strategy whilst holding a mirror up to the marketing community, and showing the awful underbelly, continues to make him one of my favourite commentators of our industry.
In this week’s blog post, I share some of his wise words and also links to my favourite articles and videos of his.

At the start of 2018, Ritson posted very amusing article about the big things for 2018. Really ripping into some of the ‘trends’ we’re seeing in Marketing, like Story-telling and VR, and why they’re all a bit of bo**ocks.
