Tom O’Malley, CEO of Currnt, a marketing intelligence startup that uses AI to recruit on-demand, curated teams of experts for virtual focus groups and ongoing advisory boards joins Enterprise Radio.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Tom O’Malley discuss the following:

* Why did you create Currnt?
* What are the biggest challenges companies are currently facing?
* How is marketing changing and what can companies do to adapt?
* In this “new normal”, what can companies do to build employee and customer loyalty and satisfaction?
* Why is empathy so important these days? Is the CMO the new CEO (Chief Empathy Officer)?

TIP: Think about what keeps you relevant.  There is a tendency to focus on the solution and  while understanding your company and your competitors' products does matter, your ability to empathize with your potential customer and anticipate their needs is a far greater determinant of relevance today.  Empathy is not just a good idea, it's a competitive advantage.
