SPOS #508 – Leading Innovation With Christopher S. Penn

Welcome to episode #508 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Mirum Podcast.

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation – The Mirum Podcast – Episode #508 – Host: Mitch Joel. I have said it before. I will say it again. Christopher S. Penn is a deadly weapon… and I mean that in the kindest sense of the saying. Yes, he’s a practicing Martial Artist, but he’s a more dangerous marketing weapon. He’s that rare breed of deeply tech savvy professional combined with an understanding of marketing that will make your head spin. His full-time job is as the Vice President of Marketing Technology at SHIFT Communications, but he’s also one of the co-founders of PodCamp, co-host (with John Wall) of the Marketing Over Coffee podcast, and a very passionate blogger at Awaken Your Superhero. He’s also published a slew of business book, White Belt Marketing, Marketing Blue Belt and – most recently – Leading Innovation. Some fans of the show may also remember him as one of the co-hosts of Media Hacks. With that, we came together to discuss all things innovation. Where does it come from, how does it work and what’s your company missing? Enjoy the conversation…
