Welcome back to Talking Marketing! 🎙️
In Episode 68, I sit down with Jeff Porter, marketer at EventPipe and hip-hop artist — to explore why success doesn’t have to fit into a single box. From working with children with autism to spending seven years at one company, becoming the only marketer in the room, navigating competing opinions, and balancing a creative career in music, Jeff shares the lessons that shaped his unique path.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What the classroom taught him before marketing ever could
- The value of staying and growing within one organization
- What day one really looks like when you’re building marketing from scratch
- How to protect your strategy when everyone has an opinion
- Why making music makes him a better marketer
If you’ve ever been told to “pick a lane,” this conversation is for you. Sometimes the most rewarding careers are built by following more than one path.
