Cheryl Sing, founder of an Australian charity called The Laptop Initiative, a charity focused on bridging the digital divide by providing laptops to those in need, including disadvantaged youth, refugees, and victims of domestic violence. 

Cheryl shares the origins of the initiative, the importance of technology access, and the impact of their campaigns. 

She was horrified to hear that there was over 2.6 million tonnes of e-waste generated in Australia annually, and that some of the laptops could go to people who desperately need one.

The conversation highlights the collaboration with corporate donors and advertising agencies, success stories from beneficiaries, and the challenges faced in engaging larger organizations. Listeners are encouraged to get involved and support the cause.

Lisa Overall, Managing Director of Creatalytics, a company that is closing the impact gap between media and message and maximising return on creative investment, discusses the intricate relationship between brand performance and creative optimization. She explains the role of creative analytics in enhancing media effectiveness, and the constraints that can drive creativity. 

In 1964, when Marshall McLuhan wrote “The medium is the message” there has been an on-going advertising conundrum – is it the content or the channel? Is it the creative and the media? Is it the message or the medium?

Karen Nelson Field has demonstrated that the choice of media channel impacts the attention, but the creative messaging is responsible for triggering the action.

So, assuming both are essential, how do we ensure the media and the message are working together, particularly in a world where there is so many different media choices?

Lisa shares her views on the future of measuring creative performance, the impact of time on consumer response, and the opportunities presented by social media for testing and learning.

Jeremy Taylor, Managing Director and Mark Smith, Business Director of TrinityP3 UK discusses the complexities and challenges of the pitch process in the advertising industry an explore the notion that while many believe the pitch process is broken, it may simply need to evolve to better suit the modern landscape of marketing and media. 

The conversation delves into the importance of chemistry in client-agency relationships, the role of procurement, and the need for a more streamlined and engaging pitch process. Mark and Jeremy introduce the concept of a 'BetterPitch' that emphasizes fun, focus, and flexibility, aiming to foster better relationships and outcomes in the advertising world.

As an industry, we need to move away from the question that is so often asked: “What should we do instead of pitching?” Rather, the questions we should be asking are: “What is the most appropriate way to pitch?” and “How can we make the pitching process better”.

The Managing Marketing podcast is ten years old this week. In July 2015, the first episode went live, featuring a conversation between Darren Woolley and Shawn Callahan from Anecdote about the role of storytelling in advertising and marketing. 

Since then, hundreds of guests have appeared on the Managing Marketing podcast, sharing their stories in conversations with various TrinityP3 hosts. Some of these people are marketing famous, but many are telling their story on a podcast for the first time.

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Managing Marketing podcast, our main hosts come together to reminisce and share stories from their experience hosting the show, including memorable moments, technical glitches, and the best conversations. 

Please enjoy this best of the past decade with the TrinityP3 podcast team, featuring Ellie Angell, Anton Buchner, and Darren Woolley.
