Are you a marketer looking to amplify your voice and brand authority? Whether you’re building a personal platform or expanding your company’s reach, podcasting offers a powerful way to connect with your audience. This hands-on session is designed for mid- and early-career marketers who want to learn to podcast—even with zero experience.

Limited seating – registration will be closed when capacity is reached!
Key Takeaways:
Why Podcasting Works for Marketers: Understand the strategic value of podcasting in brand-building and content marketing.
Podcasting Tips for Beginners: Learn exactly what gear you need (and what you don’t), how to prep your first episode, and how to structure an engaging show.
DIY Recording & Editing: Get practical advice on affordable tools for high-quality sound without a studio.
Content Planning 101: Learn how to brainstorm topics that drive listens and conversions.

Speakers:
David Meerman Scott
David Meerman Scott spotted the real-time marketing revolution in its infancy and wrote multiple books about it including The New Rules of Marketing and PR, now in an 9th edition, with more than 500,000 copies sold in English and available in 29 languages from Albanian to Vietnamese.
Now David says the pendulum has swung too far in the direction of superficial online communications. Tech-weary and AI-wary people are hungry for true human connection. Organizations have learned to win by developing what David calls a “Fanocracy” – (the subject of his “Wall Street Journal” bestseller) – tapping into the mindset that relationships with customers are more important than the products they sell to them.
David has been a guest on over 300 podcasts(!) He is an advisor to emerging companies, serves on the HubSpot advisory board, and delivers keynotes and masterclasses around the world. He loves to surf, go on long backpacking adventures, and dance the Lindy Hop.
Bob Cargill
Bob Cargill is an adjunct professor, content creator, social media consultant and public speaker who has worked for some 500 or so different clients over the years. His work has been recognized with over 40 awards from the New England Direct Marketing Association, including Gold for his blog on marketing (thebobcargill.com), which he launched in 2004, and Direct Marketer of the Year in 2009. He also has recorded over 200 episodes of his own podcast, Bob Cargill’s Marketing Show.
Bob is a past president of the American Marketing Association Boston (2018-2020 and 2022-2024) and a past president of the New England Direct Marketing Association (1999-2000). He has also written and published a book about his career in marketing so far entitled Twenty Jobs, Twenty Lessons – a Long, Strange Career in Marketing, from Junk Mail to Social Media.
Tricia Rose Burt
As a speaker and storyteller, Tricia Rose Burt awakens both creativity and boldness in her audiences. As a coach, she does the same with her clients — unlocking their creativity, stories, and passion, then helping them craft and deliver clear, powerful messaging. For more than 15 years, Tricia worked for some of America’s top institutions. Now, she is the host of the award-winning podcast “No Time to be Timid”; a storyteller and instructor for The Moth; a former StoryBrand facilitator; and an award-winning visual artist. Tricia speaks and teaches across the United States, skillfully blending her in-depth artistic experience and extensive business career.

An AMA Boston Panel Discussion
AI is no longer a side experiment in marketing. By 2026, it will be woven into how brands create, target, optimize, and build trust at scale. But with rapid change comes real questions: What’s actually working? What’s hype? And how do we adopt AI without losing the human spark that makes marketing matter?

This panel will explore how generative and agentic AI are reshaping go-to-market strategy, video and creative, search and paid media, and the ethical foundations marketers need to build for sustainable growth.
You’ll gain insight into:

Practical use cases for generative and agentic AI in 2026
How AI is transforming video, creative, search, and PPC
What responsible, ethical AI adoption really looks like
Where marketers should invest skills, tools, and strategy next
How to balance automation with authenticity and trust

Come curious. Leave clearer.

AI tools are transforming content marketing overnight. But does faster always mean better?

The Big Question Every Marketer Is Asking
AI tools are transforming content marketing overnight. But does faster always mean better? And where does that leave human creativity?
Join us for a candid conversation about finding the right balance between artificial intelligence and authentic human voice in your content strategy.
What You’ll Learn
This session tackles the questions keeping content marketers up at night:
Where AI delivers real value—and where it falls flat. Understand the specific content tasks where AI tools genuinely save time and improve output, plus the blind spots that can damage your brand.
Why human copywriters still matter. Discover the high-impact, strategic work that requires human judgment, creativity, and emotional intelligence—the work AI simply cannot replicate.
How to find your ideal AI-human mix. Walk away with a practical framework for deciding when to use AI, when to bring in human talent, and how to make them work together so your content stands out.
What responsible AI looks like in practice. Learn ethical guardrails and best practices for using AI in content marketing without compromising authenticity or trust.
Who Should Attend

Marketing leaders evaluating AI tools for their teams
Content strategists and managers

The shift to Buyer-Centric Value, and how it reshapes messaging, outreach, and discovery
How to engage buyers earlier and more effectively across mid-stage touchpoints
How PR and content strategy help brands show up earlier in a buyer’s journey, increasing the odds of discovery meetings paying off
How marketing-led visibility and credibility builds inbound interest before sales ever reach out
A tour of innovative + proven programs designed to ramp buyer interaction and accelerate qualification
A guided collaboration exercise to select and plan the best-fit programs for your company or agency
Open Q&A, closing remarks, and audience discussion

You’ll leave with both the strategic clarity and the tactical tools needed to create more meaningful buyer conversations—plus a clear plan to implement within your team.

AMA Boston Music Marketing Panel
2026-04-23 18:00 - 20:00 | CIC Boston, 50 Milk Street, #16th floor, Boston, MA, 02109, United States
Music Marketing Industry Marketing

The event will bring together marketing professionals, creatives, and industry leaders to explore how music marketing has evolved in recent years—particularly the shift from traditional record-label models to a landscape in which artists increasingly operate as their own brands and companies —and what this transformation means for other industries and how they can relate.
The discussion will focus on topics such as:

The transition from label-driven marketing to artist-led brand building
How musicians function as independent businesses and media companies
Digital, community-driven, and data-informed marketing strategies in music
Key lessons that non-music brands and marketers can learn from today’s music industry

Format: In-person (and virtual option) panel discussion with Q&A
Speakers:
Nina Webb

Nina Webb is an award-winning music marketing strategist with over 25 years of experience building artist brands and global campaigns. She served as Head of Marketing at Atlantic Records and held senior roles at Columbia Records, working closely with artists and teams to develop strategies that evolve alongside both the artist and their art—brands and products that shift as quickly as fan tastes.
The music industry often experiences technological disruption, as youth audiences rapidly adopt new behavior to discover and consume content. Navigating this constant evolution, across both creative output and consumer behavior, places music marketing at the forefront of understanding how to build honest and lasting connections.
Today, Nina’s work sits at the intersection of industry and education. She consults with brands on music- and culture-informed marketing strategy and teaches applied marketing at the university level, translating brand development principles into real-world execution. She is also a frequent guest speaker at institutions including Boston College, Harvard University’s Music Club, and the University of New Hampshire, helping students navigate and understand the evolving music industry.

Emi Mcswain

Emi McSwain is a singer-songwriter and content creator in Boston, Massachusetts. After receiving her songwriting degree from Berklee College of Music in 2022, she took to Instagram to showcase Boston’s hidden gems and highlight the city’s music scene, growing her following to over 38k. She’s worked tirelessly to bridge the gap between Boston residents and the city’s independent music scene. Her mission is to make music more accessible and easier to find for those who want to support it.

Jeff Porter

Jeff Porter, is like a carpenter in the hip hop world, he is an emcee who skillfully builds his music with the precision and craftsmanship of a seasoned artisan. His dedication to the boom bap and golden era style of hip-hop sets him apart in a landscape where trends often overshadow authenticity. Jeff’s music is deeply rooted in the foundational elements of hip-hop, drawing inspiration from the genre’s pioneers while infusing his own unique flavor.
His boom bap beats are raw and unfiltered, reminiscent of the 90s era that many consider the golden age of hip-hop. Jeff is creating a soundscape that instantly transports listeners back to the true form of where hip-hop was born. Jeff’s lyrical style complements this classic sound, with verses that are both sharp and reflective, embodying the essence of true hip-hop storytelling.
Jeff Porter’s EP with David Ryan is a masterful collaboration, where the synergy between the two artists creates a dynamic 1-2 punch combo that hits hard with every track. Their seamless connection brings out the best in each other, resulting in an EP that not only showcases their individual talents but also amplifies their strengths as a duo. The production is sharp, the lyrics are impactful, and the overall vibe is smooth yet powerful, making this EP a standout project. It’s the kind of hip-hop that resonates deeply, with each track contributing to a cohesive, timeless body of work. The chemistry between Jeff Porter and David Ryan elevates the EP to classic status, a must-listen for any hip-hop aficionado.
What makes Jeff Porter stand out is his unwavering commitment to preserving the original vibe of hip-hop. In an era where many artists chase after the next big trend, Jeff remains steadfast in his approach, staying true to the culture’s roots. His music isn’t just a throwback; it’s a continuation of a legacy, a testament to the enduring power of hip-hop’s golden era. Whether he’s crafting verses or laying down beats, Jeff Porter ensures that every track he produces is a nod to the past while still resonating with today’s audience, making him a true guardian of the culture.
