(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nArby's appointed Jenna Bromberg, former CMO of Papa Johns, effective Nov. 2, as the company prepares for a potential IPO under parent Inspire Brands, per Marketing Dive.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): hire for the story you need to tell in the next chapter, not just the metrics you hit last year. Before you hire a marketer, define what story you need to own in the next 18 months. Is it sustainability? Founder narrative? Category innovation? Then hire someone whose previous role proved they can build that story at scale. Bromberg's track record means Arby's is not optimizing for one quarter; it's building a narrative that survives due diligence and investor questions.\nWhat that means for you: hire for the story you need to tell in the next chapter, not just the metrics you hit last year. Before you hire a marketer, define what story you need to own in the next 18 months. Is it sustainability? Founder narrative? Category innovation? Then hire someone whose previous role proved they can build that story at scale. Bromberg's track record means Arby's is not optimizing for one quarter; it's building a narrative that survives due diligence and investor questions.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Marketing Dive: https://www.marketingdive.com/news/arbys-hires-ex-papa-johns-cmo-to-balance-brand-building-sales-growth/833184/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
