Brandidly Speaking

Brandidly Speaking is a podcast for marketers, brand builders, and communicators where modern marketing gets real.

Hosted by Cris Gordon, Head of Beauty at MMC, each episode features candid conversations with founders, executives, creators, and cultural tastemakers reshaping their industries. Together, they break down what it really takes to build brands today: cutting through buzzwords to explore earned-first strategy, storytelling, community, influence, and growth. From the ROI of community to the transition from founder to CEO and navigating the creator economy, Brandidly Speaking offers a strategic roadmap for leaders to unlock your edge and shape what's next.

Because today’s marketers have enough noise. We give you access, perspective, and a seat at the table.
