Also available as a Podcast:

our guest on this week’s episode of Suds & Search is Azeem Ahmad aka Azeem Digital.

Azeem is a veteran digital marketer, an international conference presenter, and the host of one of the popular podcast series – “Azeem Digital Asks.

Azeem is an outspoken advocate for diversity and inclusion initiatives in our industry. To learn more, we highly recommend following him on Twitter at the handle @AzeemDigital and subscribing to his newsletter “The Marginalised Marketer.”

We caught up with Azeem shortly after he delivered a presentation at Brighton SEO about how to get buy-in from your boss using ROI. We love this topic because it actually sounds like the job that marketers do. Developing persuasive skills using data is a great thing for marketers to learn.

We’ll also ask him about his podcast. We’ll talk about what makes a great show great. We’ll discuss some of the amazing guests he’s spoken to and tune in to find out how his show got started.

Grab something cold to drink and join us for a conversation with Azeem Digital. We’ll chat about being a multi-channel digital marketer rather than a specialist, we’ll spend some time talking about what it was like being back at a big in-person conference again, and I’ll spend a little time chatting with him about how to overcome common objectives when you are seeking buy-in from a boss.
