Marketing Voices and wanting more of Jennifer Jones
I’m going to echo Mario Sundar, who wants more of Jennifer Jones, my future colleague at Podtech.
Jennifer runs Marketing Voices, a podcast series that gives the behind the scenes strategy and experience of folks that work hard to reach out to customers. I enjoyed her radio quality voice, intelligent questions, and how she captures rare and unique interviews such as this one with James Druckery of Seagate on their Social Media commitment. I shared this interview with several folks, it tells the world that the new mediums are here, real, and companies are and will use them, social media is not going away. Back to Jennifer, I found out that she used to work with Shel Israel, whom I just enjoyed red wine on his red couch earlier this week.
There are other subscribed fans of Marketing Voices, such as DJHowatt, A respected Silicon Valley Marketing Director. During my discussions with him he suggests that suspension of disbelief is broken when the podcast refers to the audience as ‘people out there’. Marketing Voices does a great job of bringing the listener into the discussion, so by reminding the audience that they are indeed separate alienates listeners. This is me, fulfilling my promise to pass on his feedback.
Along with Mario, I’d love to see Jennifer extending to new mediums, perhaps getting into video, with Podtech heading this direction, it shouldn’t be difficult. I also second that Blogging would be a great opportunity for Jennifer, in addition she would be a great person to lead and moderate panels, interview keynote interviews, and even speak about her extensive experience as a Marketing professional. I’ll invite her to some of the Marketing conferences and events I’ve been attending such as IIR, Frost and Sullivan, New Communications, and PR conferences
Jennifer, the world needs more of you, I’d love to see your personal brand grow, and I’m one of those willing to help, see you in a few days.

Jennifer did not just work with me, she was my boss and she was wonderful. I have known her for about 20 years and she has always been filled with insight, intelligence and intuition. You are fortunate that you will be working with her.
Jeremiah,
I eagerly look forward to Jennifer’s blog and some more of her new interviews with my favorite marketers.
Wishing your team the very best, J. You’re in august company at Podtech.
Mario
THANK YOU for turning me onto this blog. Just 3 episodes in, I’m hooked. Great stuff.
I am very complimented by all these comments. Thank you.
Shel, I am touched by your perspective given that you knew me “way back when..” and the feeling is mutual! As for Mario and Jeremiah…I am just getting to know both of you and listening hard–keep doling out the advice! I am going to blog more and will love to have the opportunity to share what I know …it is lots of fun…I do hope that more marketing people get into social media…it takes time and effort to learn new skills…but I know lots of CMOs who are interested in learning.
