What is Marketing? Part 2: Marketing is Poetry with Kory Marchisotto [Uncensored Renegades]

What is Marketing? Part 2: Marketing is Poetry with Kory Marchisotto [Uncensored Renegades]

How do you distil something as complex as marketing into something simple?


In this special episode of Uncensored Renegades, Kory delivers a powerful seven-minute poem (originally written as a pattern-disrupting acceptance speech) that captures the emotional weight, pressure, and responsibility of modern marketing leadership.


Born from a flash of inspiration at an AC/DC concert, the poem explores the trials of being a CMO, the burden of accountability, and the mental fortitude required to lead.


After the performance, Jon reacts candidly, unpacking the themes of ownership, bravery, and the uncomfortable truth that in leadership, pretty much everything is down to you.
