In Part 1 of this Episode -- The Road to Wussville: Or Marketing's Not so Grand Adventrue -- we discussed how the marketing discipline has been diffused across the corporation and has lost much of the control and accountability that could be used to progress the discipline.

In this episode, we move on from Wussville! We will switch from looking at the problem to looking at the opportunities we have to take back our power and reshape the role of marketing.
