🎙️ The final episode of After Aston I... series 2, has dropped!

Geoff and Aimee chat to Aston alumnus and global marketing leader, Kevin Alderson, for a brilliant conversation on performance marketing, leadership, and learning in a fast-moving industry.

In this clip, Kev shares a moment many marketers will recognise - when the data pointed one way, but intuition pointed another.

We also dive into:

👉 Building high-performing teams

👉 The importance of commercial and data literacy

👉 Making the leap from corporate roles to consultancy

👉 And why continuous learning is non-negotiable in marketing

🎧 If you’re navigating data-led decision making, leading teams, or just love a thoughtful marketing conversation, this one’s for you. by @astonalumni
