Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar - with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails, while our Rockstar CMO host Ian Truscott picks his brain on a marketing topic.
Inspired by an article by Robert - Content Marketing in 2026: Why Your System Matters More Than Your Content - this week, over a modern English cocktail, Ian and Robert look forward to what 2026 will bring for content marketing, which inevitably means chatting about AI.
They discuss:
The changing role of AI in content creation
Overcoming the challenges of scale
Balancing brand consistency with stifling creativity
The creation process as part of the thinking process
The word of 2025 “authenticity”
If you have a question for the bar or an opinion on this week's discussion, please get in touch - just search “rockstar cmo” on the interwebs or LinkedIn.
Enjoy!
