In this Podcast Episode of the World of Procurement Podcast, we are talking to a Marketing Procurement Professional and expert, Stuart Dunk, who has experience working for some massive Companies, such as Nike. We go into detail about Stuart’s background pre-procurement and his extensive Marketing Procurement background at some of the biggest names where he developed true expertise in Marketing.

We cover. Stuart’s company that he set up during COVID, which is a feat in Entrepreneurial spirit, and how he’s been advising agencies on how they should approach procurement, how to price and shape responses to RFPs etc. This is something that just makes sense. Us Procurement Professionals can often forget there is someone at the other side (as illustrated so eloquently by Dr Leda Glyptis here - [ Ссылка ])

We cover why understanding Marketing, as a macro topic and not just Marketing Procurement, is vital if you want to be taken seriously in the world of marketing. People who know marketing and enjoy marketing are the ones who are best at Marketing Procurement.

We talk about the value procurement pros can bring to marketing and how it is more than marketers think as old age perceptions around price still live and worry marketers about procurements intentions. We talk about how the best marketing procurement pros going into marketing enter that world and say what do you need, what are your metrics (this is similar to what Sarah Scudder broke down for us in this Podcast: [ Ссылка ]). Project Spring highlighted other value-added activities that Procurement Pros had for marketers.
