Building the Right Marketing Team

This episode looks at the real state of your local marketing team. Some teams are growing, some are quietly growing cancerous behaviors, and some are stuck in the insanity loop of doing the same thing each day and hoping something will change. Today we talk through what defines a great marketing team, why every person needs a clear role, and how internal and external partners must support the mission with consistency and reliability. Matt shares insights from conversations with several companies this week, where bad attitudes, missed promises, and refusal to adapt have slowed marketing momentum. The episode challenges business owners to evaluate their teams, reset expectations, and take action when people or vendors stop showing up in the way they should. This is a direct look at how leadership shapes marketing success inside real businesses today.   HAVE A SHOW IDEA?
