If you have questions about marketing processes that don't seem to make sense, listening to Why You Need to Simplify Your Marketing Operations will make you realize you're right in asking, "why am I even doing this?" The content focuses on the importance of simplification in marketing operations, making it the best topic, in my opinion. It also challenges companies to drop all unnecessary marketing practices and prioritize those that truly matter to the customers.
In the podcast, Colton Slauson, Watermark's Marketing Operations Manager, believes that before implementing a marketing strategy, consider how it impacts your customers. See if it simplifies their lives or complicates the situation even further. If your marketing approach is highly sophisticated that it forgets to deliver your customers' needs, then you have to take time and listen to Why You Need to Simplify Your Marketing Operations.

I like listening to this podcast as I get ready for work so that I’ll bring fresh ideas with me to the table.

The Smart Marketer is a gold mine because of its veteran marketer hosts Molly Pittman, John Grimshaw, and Ezra Firestone. They are successful marketers and business innovators in their respective capacities and they pour a lot of wisdom into the discussions as they expound on how they each attained success.
The podcast title can be quite a bold claim, but it really delivers content that is at par with that expectation. Each episode is very thought-provoking and enriching. I would say that the podcast better suits mid-level marketers and upwards because the episodes can get somewhat technical as the discussions probe topics deeper.

As we struggle to keep our small businesses afloat and ahead of the competition, it can be easy to start thinking that we alone are fighting the good battle. Host of Business Wars, David Brown, dismisses this notion within seconds of each and every episode of this quite compelling podcast.
While the podcast is not purely marketing focused, the goal remains the same: winning the hearts and wallets of the market. Here you will learn of how Netflix took on Blockbuster, of the ongoing war between Nike and Adidas. Be warned, this series is not for the faint-hearted, the emphasis is on the ruthlessness behind every major competition, but in a way, it's good to see the big boys get a bloody nose every now and then.

As the head of a marketing team in the finance industry, there are lots of regulations we are beholden to that many products and services are not. This means we have to be incredibly ethical in our execution of campaigns, and it can be frustrating when newer marketers try to take shortcuts or are used to a level of "sleaze". I love the Everyone Hates Marketers podcast for this reason – it's all about ethical marketing tactics, has a great sense of humor and features guests across multiple industries. For anyone looking for entertainment and ethical strategies, this is a fun one to start with.

You may study growth strategies by reading marketing books, magazines, blogs, and newspapers. However, marketing podcasts have a unique appeal because they are simple to understand, have a more relaxed pace, and allow you to listen while on the road or completing other work.
In fact, 24% of the US population listens to a podcast every week. My personal favorite is How I Built This with Guy Raz. Guy Raz delves deep into the histories of some of the most well-known businesses in the world. The podcast, How I Built This tells the story of entrepreneurs, visionaries, innovators, and the movements they created. While this is not strictly a marketing show, marketers can learn lessons on positioning and winning strategies when building a business from scratch.
