Those of you who joined us know that this year’s induction ceremony for the Marketing Hall of Fame was another spectacular celebration of brilliance in the field of marketing. (See Forbes’ coverage of the event.)

I’m delighted that we are able to share videos of the keynote speeches from 3 of our 4 inductees. They provide tremendous insight, as well as timely reflections on the field, good humor, and some provocative thinking about what “marketing” even is.
