Leading Creative Teams in the Age of AI with Josh Gillick, Senior Director of Creative Marketing

Josh Gillick, Senior Director of Creative Marketing at Cisco (WebEx), didn't take a straight line to get where he is—and that's exactly what makes his perspective so valuable. After building his career across freelance and contract work in design, video, storytelling, and brand, Josh eventually stepped into creative leadership roles at companies like WebEx and Cisco. Today, his team owns the creative vision for major productions including Cisco Live and WebEx One, an event his team runs end-to-end. In this episode, host Pius Chan talks with Josh about what it actually looks like to lead a creative team inside a large enterprise—the people challenges, the stakeholder battles, the AI questions everyone is asking, and the hard-won lessons from years of doing it at scale. What You'll Hear: Why being a generalist can stall your career—and the mindset shift required to go from doing everything yourself to leading a team that does it better than youHow Josh hires for creative excellence: why he looks at portfolios before resumes and asks every candidate the same critical questionWhy not everyone should move into management—and why the best companies build paths for senior individual contributors who want to keep creatingThe one thing creative teams owe their internal stakeholders, forever: education, without ego, and without expecting it to ever be "done"A proven framework for presenting creative work to difficult executives—how to get them to stop interrupting and start listeningHow Josh is approaching AI at an enterprise scale: the evaluation framework his team uses, why accuracy and legal compliance come first, and why he's treating right now as a re-education phase rather than a revolution This podcast is brought to you by Lumen5, a video creator made by marketers, for marketers.

What Teaching Taught Me About Trust, Attention, and Better Marketing with Nora Ioane, Marketing Manager

In this episode of Supercharge Marketing, host Thomas Klinger sits down with Nora Ioane, Business Marketing Manager for Cardiac Services at SpecialtyCare, to explore how lessons from teaching translate into clearer, more trusted marketing, especially in high-stakes healthcare environments. With a background spanning secondary education, internal communications, and healthcare marketing, Nora brings a uniquely empathetic lens to how messages are crafted, delivered, and received. She shares why effective marketing is not about saying more. It is about saying the right thing to the right audience in a way that respects their time, attention, and trust. Drawing on her experience as a former teacher, Nora explains how backwards planning shapes her communications strategy, why reducing cognitive load is critical for busy clinicians and patients, and how code switching between audiences can dramatically improve clarity and engagement. She also dives into the hidden risks of over-explaining, the trust-destroying impact of fluff and jargon, and why consistency, not volume, is what ultimately builds credibility. The conversation also touches on the evolving role of AI in healthcare marketing. Nora sees opportunity in ideation and personalization, but not replacement, and emphasizes the importance of human oversight, brand voice, and institutional trust. Whether you are a marketer, communicator, or leader navigating complex stakeholder environments, this episode offers a grounded, thoughtful approach to creating messaging that actually lands. What You’ll Learn Why backwards planning from education is a powerful framework for marketing and internal communicationsHow reducing cognitive load and eliminating fluff directly impacts trustWhat it really means to code switch messaging across patients, clinicians, and executivesWhy over-explaining can frustrate audiences and undermine credibilityHow consistency and repetition build trust more effectively than one-off messagesWhere AI fits into healthcare marketing and where it does notWhy diverse internal reviewers act as a critical checks-and-balances system for high-stakes communications About This Podcast Welcome to Season 3 of Supercharge Marketing.

Brand Strategy Beyond Performance Metrics: How Trust Drives Long-Term Growth with Jan Liebchen, SVP & Head of Marketing

In this episode of Supercharge Marketing, host Thomas Klinger sits down with Jan Liebchen, SVP & Head of Marketing at M&T Bank, to explore how brands build trust, relevance, and measurable impact in one of the most regulated and commoditized industries: banking. Jan shares why banking products alone don’t differentiate brands—and why trust is earned not through claims, but through customer-led storytelling and consistent delivery across every touchpoint. Drawing from his global background (Germany, East Africa, and the U.S.), Jan explains how brand leaders must balance data and emotion to align internal teams and influence decision-making. “People often arrive at conclusions emotionally before they can ever digest the data,” he explains. The conversation also dives deep into sports sponsorships as a brand strategy, including M&T’s long-standing partnership with the Buffalo Bills. Jan reframes sponsorships as an ongoing conversation with a “naturally attracted audience,” not a logo-placement exercise—and shares how M&T measures success across brand health, engagement, and long-term revenue impact. One standout analogy compares brand investment to going to the gym: if you measure results too early, the data will lie. From navigating AI responsibly in a regulated environment to proving the long-term ROI of brand and partnerships, this episode delivers practical, executive-level insight for marketers under pressure to justify every dollar. What You’ll Learn: Why banking is a “commoditized product” category—and how brand strategy creates differentiationHow customer storytelling builds trust more effectively than brand-led claimsThe role every employee plays in delivering the brand experienceWhy brand leaders must address emotion before data to influence internal stakeholdersHow to think about AI in marketing when privacy, compliance, and authenticity matterWhy sponsorships work best when treated as conversations, not media buysHow to measure sponsorship ROI beyond direct sales and short-term performanceA powerful framework for explaining why brand investments take time to pay off ABOUT THIS PODCAST Welcome to Season 3 of Supercharge Marketing. This season isn’t just about choosing the right channels—it’s about creating content with purpose. We’re living in a marketing-led buyer’s journey, and today’s marketers are expected to own the revenue conversation. Each episode explores how strategic content, brand thinking, and omnichannel execution come together to drive real business impact. Whether you’re working in financial services, B2B, SaaS, or enterprise marketing, Supercharge Marketing delivers expert insights, practical frameworks, and real-world examples to help you connect brand to growth—and feel like the superhero of your marketing team. 🦸‍♂️

How to Build a Scalable Content System That Works with Jacob Brain, Director of Operations

In this episode of Supercharge Marketing, Pius Chan talks with Jacob Brain, Director of Operations at Marketers in Demand, about what it takes to create content systems that scale, especially for small, scrappy B2B teams. Jacob shares how to build a repeatable framework for content that starts with the source: the subject-matter experts inside your organization. “Content needs to come directly from an expert source," he says. That insight drives his three-part model: source, develop, and distribute. It's a process that guarantees your content reflects real perspective, not AI-generated filler. Jacob also digs into the balance between in-house work and outsourcing, and how to avoid spinning your wheels on content that doesn't move the needle. His advice? Slow down to define your strategy, then move fast with execution. “Something is better than nothing,” he says. “Get something out the door and make decisions based on the data.” If you’re a marketer trying to do more with less, this episode’s packed with practical, real-world advice to help you get moving. What You'll Learn How to turn expert insights into content that actually scalesA simple, repeatable system: source → develop → distributeWhen to outsource, when to keep content in-houseHow small teams can outplay bigger ones by focusing on one channel and one metricWhy slowing down to set your strategy makes everything else faster (and better) Why It Matters No system?
