AI, agility, and office pets: Navigating the marketing landscape of 2026

The Agile Solo Marketer: Strategies for impact and AI integration

We all know that marketing departments are getting smaller, but how does a head marketing cope when they ARE the marketing department? Amy Hopkins had this experience as head of marketing for Africa Padel (she's has since moved to a new role), so I wanted to understand how she used AI tools strategically, while focusing on building deeper relationships inside and outside of the business. Our chat had some real perspective shifts for me, and I think it will do the same for you.

Automating growth for lean digital marketing teams

The conversation focused on the benefits and challenges of creating and selling a marketing tool in South Africa.

Relationships and Responsibility: Driving Ford South Africa’s marketing strategy

If you had to use two words that sums up what marketing leadership is all about, what would you use? In this episode, I sit down with Tarryn Knight, the Head of Marketing at Ford South Africa and she would say her two words are "relationships" and "responsibility". She discusses the importance of building trust with other departments, like finance and legal, to ensure that marketing isn't just seen as a "petulant child" asking for budget, but as a strategic business partner.
