A lot of us tend to feel that if we succeed, we are amazing, and if we fail, we are terrible. Marketing is about competition: it\u2019s how I showed up today compared to my competition. Similar to sports, it\u2019s not about being at a certain level, but about how you do compare to who you\u2019re up against. The marketing industry is going to see a lot of changes in the future around this: focusing more on optimizing strategy vs. optimizing a specific product or channel. We will be hiring more fractional CMO\u2019s vs. PPC people. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is your biggest objective as a speaker?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create curiosity around different approaches to life and business. My goal isn\u2019t to change the way you think about a specific topic, but to help you challenge the norms. It\u2019s in this state of mind that we find what we are searching for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the core points that you will be discussing during the panel(s) that you are participating in at the Ad World Conference 2021? What are you hoping to accomplish via your session(s) there?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What if franchising took over the marketing world as it has other industries like food, real estate and others? The other panel discusses how agencies scale and why \u201cmicro-agencies\u201d have such a different game plan and mindset than larger agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As a follow-up, do you feel that digital events give you a similar level of feedback\/result vis-\u00e0-vis the live versions? What would you say were the biggest pros and cons of both formats?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love events and I normally learn a lot more than what I teach. I love not only looking at the results but the process of how the speaker got to their conclusion or idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>To review the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/eventible.com\/marketing\/ad-world-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ad World Conference 2021<\/a>, click&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/eventible.com\/marketing\/ad-world-2021\/review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About JC: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About JC:<\/strong> <em>JC Hite is the Founder and CEO of Hite Digital International, one of the fastest-growing agencies in the US.
