Descripción

What separates the marketers who will thrive in an AI world from those who won't? According to Paul Dervan, founder of Run with Foxes, it comes down to whether you're a fox or a hedgehog. Drawing on Philip Tetlock's Superforecasters research, Paul explains why the ability to draw on multiple perspectives, stay curious, and adapt your thinking is more valuable than ever — and why clinging to process-heavy skills is a liability. In this conversation, Paul shares how he went deep on AI during his time at Miro, what he discovered about the behaviours of people who use AI most effectively, and how he now helps marketing and sales teams redesign the way they work. He also walks through practical examples, including a custom research agent he built to automate information gathering, so he can spend less time on the work about the work and more time making good decisions.  Paul gave his take on the fundamental skillset that makes you valuable in an AI world  We spoke about Paul’s team of AI agents Clara, Jo and Nate, about creating systems for writing and ad generation, the benefits of sceptical optimism and how Paul’s second book is progressing. Worth a listen if you want to get practical about AI rather than just anxious about it.

42 - Roy Keane, High Expectations, and Sky's Bold Bet

In this episode of the Irish Marketing Podcast, Daryl sits down with Caroline Donnellan, Director of Marketing and Brand at Sky Ireland, and Shane Doyle, Head of Strategy Brand and Creative at Core, to pull back the curtain on one of Ireland's most talked-about advertising campaigns. They reveal how Sky's entry into the crowded Irish mobile market led to the 'Expect More' platform, why Roy Keane was the only person who could bring that idea to life, and why the strategy came long before the celebrity. This is how to use borrowed fame in the right way — not just for recognition, but for relevance.  Presenter – Daryl Moorhouse Sound Engineer – Sean Byrne 🎙️  Recorded, edited and mixed at Tinpot Productions Studios [https://www.tinpot.ie/], Dublin ▶️  Subscribe to our Youtube channel [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmiLI38Lb16Qk5QwanOAQIA] 📰  Subscribe to The Irish Marketing Podcast Monthly Newsletter [https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7457856941084643328] If you've got a story you'd like to hear featured on the Irish Marketing Podcast, let us know via pod@tinpot.ie

41 - Emma Kelly on Elevate Turning 25

What does it take to build a PR agency that lasts 25 years? Emma Kelly, founder of Elevate PR, joins Daryl to answer exactly that. Starting out in 2001 with clients like PlayStation and Reebok, Emma has navigated every major shift in the communications landscape — from the internet era to 4G, the influencer gold rush, and the rise of TikTok — while keeping her agency deliberately small, sharp, and client-focused. In this conversation, Emma gets candid about the talent erosion she's seeing in marketing teams today, why she hires for attitude over credentials, and why being physically in the office together is still non-negotiable for building great people. She also reflects honestly on what it means to be a woman in her mid-fifties running an agency in an industry that hasn't always valued experience Presenter – Daryl Moorhouse Sound Engineer – Sean Byrne 🎙️  Recorded, edited and mixed at Tinpot Productions Studios [https://www.tinpot.ie/], Dublin ▶️  Subscribe to our Youtube channel [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmiLI38Lb16Qk5QwanOAQIA] 📰  Subscribe to The Irish Marketing Podcast Monthly Newsletter [https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7457856941084643328] If you've got a story you'd like to hear featured on the Irish Marketing Podcast, let us know via pod@tinpot.ie

40 - Ringers Creative: Solving Proper Problems

What does it take to build a creative agency around genuinely hard problems? This week on The Irish Marketing Podcast, Daryl sits down with Miriam Hendrick and Bobby Burns, the principals behind Ringers Creative, for a wide-ranging conversation about agency life, culture, and what it really means to do good work. They dig into the concept of the 'proper problem' — why the brief on the page is rarely the real brief — and how that philosophy shapes everything from pitching to hiring. Miriam and Bobby also open up about their recent competitive pitch win with Donegal Catch, a brand so embedded in Irish culture that even naming it conjures its most famous line. The challenge now? Building the next chapter. There's also an honest conversation about ego, culture, and why their no-dickheads policy starts at the hiring stage. Plus, Bobby's 14-year side hustle in lawn mowing makes a surprise appearance.

First, Robin Bonn of Co-Definery joins us ahead of his IAPI presentation on June 10th [https://iapi.ie/events/solving-agency-commoditisation], to share a frank, no-excuses assessment of why so many agencies are struggling — and what the world's most progressive agencies are doing differently to stay irreplaceable.  Then, Brendan Almack and Lisa Woods from Wolfgang Digital break down the dramatic decline in organic search traffic driven by the rise of AI search and Google's AI Overviews, explaining why the traditional click-through model is broken and what brands can do to respond Presenter – Daryl Moorhouse Sound Engineer – Sean Byrne 🎙️  Recorded, edited and mixed at Tinpot Productions Studios [https://www.tinpot.ie/], Dublin ▶️  Subscribe to our Youtube channel [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmiLI38Lb16Qk5QwanOAQIA] 📰  Subscribe to The Irish Marketing Podcast Monthly Newsletter [https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7457856941084643328] If you've got a story you'd like to hear featured on the Irish Marketing Podcast, let us know via pod@tinpot.ie
