Robert Rose
Robert Rose is the chief troublemaker at Seventh Bear, where he helps businesses break free from stale marketing, rediscover their creativity, and actually make an impact. He’s been called a strategist, an innovator, and—by at least one former boss - "a dangerous amount of fun.” Since 2010, he’s been the chief strategy advisor at the Content Marketing Institute, where he helped shape it into the world’s leading content marketing education and training organization. Robert has helped business leaders balance the art and science of content and marketing, guiding over 500 companies - including Salesforce, SAP, Roche, Capital Group, and Adidas. As a fractional marketing leader, he specializes in modern marketing that doesn’t rely on spammy funnels, soulless automation, or whatever the latest “hack” is that’ll be obsolete by next Tuesday.
