    Nicole Parlapiano (Tubi) | Swing Big on Brand Building

    Jim's guest this week is Nicole Parlapiano, the Chief Marketing Officer of Tubi, and the woman behind so much of the strategy and innovation that sets Tubi apart from its competitors. When we launched this podcast in 2019, no one had heard of Tubi. Now this eleven-year-old brand seems to be everywhere: streaming the 2025 Super Bowl, standing out among Super Bowl advertisers the past few years, and popping up all over social media. Tubi–which is the most watched free TV and streaming service in the US–has an active fan base of about 100 million monthly users. Nicole has been at Tubi almost three years, and despite the steep growth numbers, seems to be just getting started. Before Tubi, Nicole has had an eclectic career journey, with time at Tinder, WeWork, Vayner, and eharmony. Raised in a blue-colar family outside New York City, Nicole went on to Fordham for her undergraduate degree and later earned her MBA at night at USC. Tune in for Jim's conversation with a CMO who has a self-described endless appetite for risk. --- This week's episode is brought to you by Strawberry Frog, Deloitte and Adobe.

    Scott Galloway & Tim Armstrong // CMO Podcast Alumni Reunion

    This May, Jim will celebrate six years of The CMO Podcast. He has had the opportunity to welcome over 330 marketing leaders to this show, many of whom have become friends, and of each other. Well in 2025, we are looking to lean more into this community, by hosting reunions, in-person and virtual. So for this week’s episode, we kick it off with a bang as Jim welcomes Tim Armstrong, founder and CEO of Flowcode, and author, professor, entrepreneur and fellow podcaster, Scott Galloway, back to the show. Both were early guests all the way back in 2019. This episode was recorded live in-front of an audience of fellow CMO Podcast alumni–about 70 of them. Jim, Tim and Scott dove head first into topics that are affecting us as business leaders, but also as members of society. Tim and Scott first talk about how they’ve built their own rules around goal setting, and their efforts to stick to their goals. And no surprise if you know Scott–the conversation went quickly to the state of young men in America. Jim then wraps up the conversation by opening to questions from the audience, which took the conversation–which was already deep, raw and real–to some new places. Places which we do not normally talk about on The CMO Podcast. So join Jim as he welcomes Tim and Scott back, for this remarkable and important podcast. --- Scott Galloway joined Jim as an early guest in June 2019: https://tinyurl.com/3v8fhdu5 Tim Armstrong has joined Jim on multiple occasions, July 2019: https://tinyurl.com/39ba2ate And November 2022: https://tinyurl.com/4pkuznsd See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
