To Regain Power, CMOs Must ‘Earn It Back:’ A Q&A With 9th Wonder’s Jose Lozano http://flip.it/QgohWQ

So I’m going to Vienna in December!! Any recommendations? Good restaurants?

Help me with my struggle!

I'm in Oklahoma, and an avid Aldi shopper. Prior to COVID, my favorite merlot was routinely stocked there - under $6 a bottle and better than many $30 bottles I've had. It was by Burlwood Cellars. Sadly, supply chain issues have apparently done a number on Aldi's wine selection and it's not carried there anymore. I've searched high and low for a comparable merlot, but to no avail. So I need alternate suggestions or better still, somewhere I can buy my old fav.

Normal Tea - 12

Filter Coffee - 25
Pav Bhaji - 110
Paratha - 70 onwards, and etc.

And people are paying for this, whereas if you move to Wakad or Hinjewadi phase1 &2. Price are nominal.

How do you find test subjects for your research project? What kind of incentives do you like to offer?

3am- sick with food poisoning, but the senior consultant on my project is on PTO tomorrow & I have to lead 2, hour long sessions with the client. I’m still pretty new to the project, & I agreed to lead the calls in her absence.

I am worried that I’ll be in trouble if I take a sick day because this project and my team is pretty unforgiving. I also fear that using a sick day will insinuate that I’m hungover (bc of Halloween weekend) or just trying to avoid the extra work, which is not the case 😞

Does anyone have experience working for a ALSP? How does compensation work (pay and benefits)? Are you an employee or technically an IC? Do you have billable requirements like at a firm?

In taking over our strat dept I’m overhauling our recruitment plan with HR, but curious to hear opinions on interview exercises for mid and senior level folks.

I’ve always had to do them in interviews, but also don’t love that they’ve usually been ‘free thinking’ and often intensive, or don’t really help you understand their thinking.

Anyone employ exercises or assignments in recruitment that can share inspiration?
