Marketers talk about being consumer first. Louise Troen, CMO at Clue actually operates that way.
In this episode, she explains why no one cares about your product, why most strategies fail before they begin, and why the future of marketing starts with closing a human gap not hitting a business metric.
Lou shares how she built mission-led brands at Bumble, Headspace and now Clue by putting emotional truth and creative clarity above noise and performance theatre.
She breaks down the discipline of starting with the human problem, the courage required to throw away weak ideas, and the practical ways to measure brand work without pretending it’s magic.
If you want an honest, sharp and deeply practical conversation about building brands that matter at scale, this is the episode.
