Document, rather than create and Alex Payne, The Room - building a marketing tech business

Thursday Oct 07, 2021

In this episode, we kick off by talking about why sometimes it’s better to document rather than think of a new idea from scratch. Anyone who has heard, watched or read anything by marketer Gary Vaynerchuk, will know that content is all around us and telling compelling stories doesn’t have to be complex.

Our guest this week, is probably best known for his career as a sports broadcaster, Alex Payne although on most weeks can be found co-hosting the top Rugby Podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby with James Haskell and Mike Tindall, in 2017 he founded The Room. In this episode he talks about how the idea of The Room came about - many of the best ideas have a link to Twitter it seems, and what it means to start a tech business in the marketing industry.

Our Business is A People Business and Hopes & Dreams with Emma Gilmartin

Thursday Sep 30, 2021

Trigger Warning: We do discuss fertility, baby loss and miscarriage in this episode. Feel free to skip it and listen to some of our other episodes, we more than understand. Harriet & Rebecca

In this episode, we talk about the fact that our business public relations, marketing and corporate communication is a people business. Working with people and understanding how to manage relationships is a core part of what we do. Knowing how to do that well can only be a good thing.

Our guest this week, is Emma Gilmartin, Head of Social Media & Student Comms at the University of Glasgow. We start by talking to Emma about her podcast, Hopes & Dreams Podcast which she started after experiencing baby loss and her own journey with fertility and wanted to use her skills as a communicator to create something to help others. With many large organisations and agencies introducing leave policies for staff who experience a baby loss such as John Lewis and Channel 4 we ask what needs to happen next.

Black to Front on Channel 4 and flexible working for parents

Tuesday Sep 21, 2021

In this episode, we reflect on Channel 4’s Black to Front. On September 10th, Channel 4 broadcast programming featuring Black presenters, actors, writers and experts, contributors, and programme-makers. It was done as part of the broadcaster’s commitment to represent and champion under-represented audiences and communities.

For our 5 minutes, we discuss the landmark case of Alice Thompson, an estate agent who won £185,000 at an employment tribunal. The sex discrimination case was heard after her employer refused to accommodate her need to work shorter hours to pick up her daughter from nursery. We talk flexible working for parents.
