Last month, the first Digital Fight Club of 2023 took place at the Grenada Theatre to a standing-room-only crowd of marketing professionals, ad agency folk and a handful of supporting vendors. Six teams of DFW ad agency Who’s Who verbally battled on a host of pithy issues that are not only besieging CMOs but are forcing them to adjust their marketing strategy to deal the ramifications.
