About this episode
We’re kicking off this week’s episode with something special — and in a city that knows a thing or two about creativity, resilience, and great music. For the next five weeks, we’re coming to you from Minneapolis, Minnesota — home of Prince, more than 10,000 lakes, and a vibrant business community. For the very first time, The CMO Podcast is recording on-site at the Best Buy Studios, in partnership with Best Buy Ads. Jim’s guest this week is Dave Schneider, Chief Marketing Officer of Red Wing Shoe Company . Founded in 1905, Red Wing has built a legacy as America’s iconic work boot brand — boots that have supported the workers who built landmarks like the St. Louis Arch and the Sears Tower. Today, the company generates more than a billion dollars annually across its portfolio of brands and retail network, while remaining family-owned under its fourth-generation CEO — and first woman to lead the company. Dave oversees Red Wing’s global marketing practice, from brand management and digital strategy to ecommerce, retail experience, and corporate communications. Before Red Wing, he spent years in senior leadership roles at top agencies, shaping campaigns for some of the world’s most recognizable brands. This is Jim’s conversation with a CMO whose brand has outfitted generations of builders, dreamers, and doers — Dave Schneider of Red Wing Shoe Company . --- This week's episode is brought to you by Deloitte and Best Buy Ads.
