“My philosophy is to create a flat organization with a group of subject- matter experts who work as much as possible as a single team.
My philosophy is to look at—in this order—first, structure. Do the right functions report in the right way so that there is both clarity and collaboration? That’s the easy part.
Secondly, I look at the process. It’s hard to evaluate the quality of ideas, the quality of creativity, the quality of messaging, the quality of the people until you’ve got the proper process, so we’re building that now.
We have amazing ingredients and people, but we were a little light on the process. The structure was not clear at times. “
Brian Kenny – Harvard Business School
“We use social media as a way to bring life to the mission of the school, to give a voice to the people here so you can experience them and what they’re really like and develop your own perceptions.
I would say social and interactive marketing have been the greatest tools we’ve been able to use to change misperceptions.”

“Mobile is extremely important. A significant number of our consumers engage via the app and their mobile devices. We are a mobile-first organization and design first for that experience.”
Peter Horst – The Hershey Company
“We’re being thoughtful in terms of how we manage the portfolio of the tried and true channels, moving assertively and mindfully into digital and social channels, and also being purposeful and devoting some of our time and budget to continuous experimentation and testing of new channels and new tactics so we’re always feeding this overall ecosystem with fresh learning. “
Matt Price – Zendesk
“A big mistake I see marketers—or at least inexperienced marketers—make is they feel they have to take the whole data set to interpret a trend or understand what a buyer wants. Whereas actually, it’s just as good taking a random sample of one hundred customer feedback records or one hundred deals and sifting through and spending two hours looking at them one by one. You’ll probably get more information from there by diving in on a sample set rather than looking at a macro data set. “
