Introducing: Marketing Against The Grain Mar 29, 2022

Welcome to Marketing Against The Grain. Co-hosted by HubSpot’s CMO and SVP of Marketing, Kipp Bodnar and Kieran Flanagan.

Each week, you’ll get a seat at the table with Kipp and Kieran as they take you behind the scenes and into the discussions with the sharpest minds in marketing & growth (like Ross Simmonds, Mayur Gupta, and Alex Lieberman), who are doing things differently to grow their businesses.

Tune in to Marketing Against The Grain for weekly wisdom — unfiltered, unvarnished, and like no one else tells it to you.

They’ll be leaning into essential marketing, business & Web3 topics and answer the question, “What’s happening now in Marketing, what’s ahead, and how can you lead the way?”

This show isn’t just for marketers. It’s for those who believe the impossible is actually just improbable and with the right execution, they can change a whole market's perspective.

Available starting Tuesday, April 5th wherever you get your podcasts.
