38:52||Season 5, Ep. 20A specialist in acquisitions, expansion, and business transformation, you wouldn't be surprised if on Naren's Linked In skills, he listed alchemy or turning water into wine. He's a skilled strategist with a hugely impressive CV of delivering growth, including creating one of the largest and most successful businesses in the outdoor space.

29:06||Season 5, Ep. 19The author, Garrison Wynn, once famously said that 'people buy from people' and whilst we all believe this to be true, how many agencies invest enough time and energy in the relationships they have with clients so that they can develop and flourish? If you want consistent success, then longevity of service is key. Cue, the engaging, Jo Iwan. Jo is the Creative Director and Co-Owner of Wordley Creative , where she's just about to complete twenty-one years that have produced a multitude of brilliant campaigns on behalf of very happy clients. Presented by our own 'he's a keeper', Adam Hopkinson.https://www.pashn.media/https://radioworks.co.uk/https://www.maplestreetcreative.co.uk/Remembering Suki
09:39||Season 5This is a special episode of the podcast. When it goes live on the 30th of July, it will be on the anniversary of the death of Suki Thompson. We didn't want the day to pass without marking the significant contribution she has made to the industry, so please enjoy this short extract of her wisdom.18. Deirdre Mc Gettrick
27:20||Season 5, Ep. 18The dichotomy of great ideas is that they're often so simple, and yet had by so few people. ufurnish.com is the comparison website for furniture, and that ease of describing it is probably part of the reason why it's enjoyed a huge amount of growth in a such a short time period, added to the fact that it's the brainchild of award-winning entrepreneur, Deirdre Mc Gettrick, whose sharp business sense combined with her love of interior design to inspire the brand. If you believe that doing something you enjoy is the key to setting up a successful business, then this episode will unlock everything.https://www.pashn.media/https://radioworks.co.uk/https://www.maplestreetcreative.co.uk/Recorded November 2317.

30:26||Season 5, Ep. 16To achieve more meaningful connections, advertisers are manoeuvring from mass broadcast social channels to niche driven spaces, but in order to do this, they sometimes need help opening the right doors.
