Building a Brand from the Inside Out with CMO Tracy O’Brien

IN THIS EPISODE

The Importance of Building a Brand for BOTH Employees and Customers

Bringing another unique twist, we have an in-house B2B marketer on the podcast today, Turner Mining Group CMO, Tracy O’Brien. Turner is only three years old, and yet is an up and coming powerhouse in their industry. Tracy is unique in that she is fully immersed in digital marketing, including the idea that one-to-one marketing is possible in a traditional sales and relationship style business like mining. And, while she may have started in the ski industry, she made the shift to mining to be closer to people and making the world a better place. While mining may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of fields that make the world better, listen in to find out how Turner, and Tracy, are changing these old school stereotypes.

“You grow the most when you’re the most unhappy or the most frustrated. The times where I felt so frustrated or so challenged by the nature of the work or a client or coworkers, is when I think I’ve grown the most.”
