This is episode 2 of a new series of mini-episodes focussed on the "Did you miss it?" segment for marketing updates you might have missed. Every two weeks we'll be dropping a short episode full of marketing updates to keep you satiated in between our full topic episodes.

This week we discuss:

• Google's new AI courses 
• Popeyes chicken gets a new CMO: does hiring with background relevance = success? 
• Pantene's viral expired campaign
• Harvard Business Review's "Does the Chief Marketing Officer Role Need an Update?" article
