At TrinityP3 we are inspired by the power of marketing to change cultures, change behaviours, change perceptions – to change the world. But too often, the potential of marketing goes unrealised due to confused objectives, a shortage of resources, and a thousand other obstacles.

Back in mid-2015, when I was considering starting a podcast, I decided the topic was to be how to manage the marketing process to achieve the full potential that marketing delivers. The idea was to have the kinds of conversations that we rarely get the time to have, about the possibilities offered by marketing, and the many challenges facing marketing, media and advertising today.

The popularity of the Managing Marketing podcast, which you can follow on SoundCloud or iTunes, is testament to the quality of the conversations we are having. Rather than a session being treated as an interview, based on a series of questions, the discussion starts and then flows around topics of interest to the guest.

In January 2020 we launched the first book of those conversation to acknowledge TrinityP3’s 20th year in business and to celebrate those marketers and advertising professionals who contribute to making marketing great.

Arvind Hickman is the features and analysis editor of marketing trade media title B&T. He is a journalist and editor with experience across sport, HR, constructions and most recently media and marketing. 
The advertising model is broken when it comes to news media. The major tech platforms, particularly Google and Facebook (AKA Alphabet and Meta) stand accused of undermining the news media publishers, with some governments intervening to support news media.
But, it is not just news media that has been impacted. Even the marketing and advertising trade media has suffered from the shift in advertising revenue to the major platforms. Some publishers have transformed their business models away from advertising to events, subscriptions, awards, events, membership fees and other paid models with mixed success.
Arvind provides an industry insider perspective on the challenges and opportunities for the trade news media industry.

Listener's note: Since the publication of this podcast, Michael Lynch, Publisher of Campaign Brief, has reached out to inform us that the outlet has now ended its "pay to play" policies*, which saw the publisher require agencies/media owners seeking to have their media release published on the site to sign up for advertising packages of between $750-$2000 (or $550 if you wanted a one-off news story that would lead that day's CB Daily Bulletin). The change (which, to our knowledge, was not publicly announced at the time) coincided with Campaign Brief switching off its anonymous comment thread**, following massive pressure from the creative agencies*** who made the difficult decision to boycott the publication****. TrinityP3's position on play-to-play remains that all trade publishers should disclose their commercial arrangements in line with AANA regulations***.
