Big picture thinking and small details: Marketing leadership in Fintech

Connecting the Dots: The Art and Strategy of CX

What turns a once-off buyer into someone who keeps coming back? Charné Munien, Strategy Director at RogerWilco, has spent years around the world helping brands build customer experiences people genuinely want — and in this episode we put her in the hot seat to explain why CX deserves a slice of your limited time and budget. We get into what "customer experience" really means beyond the buzzword, why a CMO or head of marketing should treat CX as a growth lever rather than a nice-to-have, and how to build something irresistible without a global-brand budget. If this one has you looking hard at your own customer experience, our free Honest Marketing Audit asks the same kind of questions.

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.
