Episode Description from the Publisher

When Argos's social team set out to level up their social channels a year ago, they had their work cut out for them. Now, their TikToks are pulling in views by the millions. Whether it's dance trends on the shop floor or the account's ongoing beef with Currys, your childhood favourite retailer has viewers hooked.   In this episode, we chat to Aimée Scanlon, Social Media Lead at Argos, to unpack how the high street giant rewired decades of catalogue culture into a community-first, creator-style social presence. From making colleagues the stars of the show to turning TikTok comments into strategy gold, Aimée shares why employee-generated content outperforms product content, why you should treat the comments section like your boss, and what it takes to modernise nostalgia without becoming a museum piece.
