“What makes a good alliance manager?” This was a question I was asked in a recent conversation. The answer to that question, to a certain extent, depends on the type of organisation you are in and the type of alliances you look after. Organisations therefore perceive the role of alliance management differently to each other. However, regardless of where you are in the Collaborative Business Spectrum , there are a set of common skills required.

Podcasting is exploding—I see it in my own podcast marketing company Content Allies —and PodNews reports that as of 8 February 2022, the number of channels in Apple Podcasts amounts to 1,375 channels with 14,154 shows. The array of podcasting equipment and gear choices is growing at the same explosive rate. While choice is good, sometimes there is too much of it, leading to overwhelm.

Remember the good old days? They weren’t always as rosy as we thought they were. When I was young it was commonplace to see cigarette advertising everywhere. The Marlboro Man held sway in billboards across the country. When tobacco companies were banned from advertising, they switched to plastering their brand over Formula One cars and cricket matches.

A 2006 survey found that 70% of adolescents dressed and behaved under the influence of a celebrity. Celebrity influence doesn’t end with teens; fans—both teens and adults—of social media influencers are very loyal, and influencers enjoy high trust from their committed fans. It makes sense that another survey found that 92% of consumers trust an influencer more than any other method of advertising.

They hold sellers to a high standard, and that means the buying experiences of the past — in-person meetings, transactional conversations, and linear sales funnels — no longer deliver.
