What should marketers stop doing right now?
Marketing has never had more tools, data or ways to create. But are they helping you make better marketing, or simply more of it? We're joined by James Lawton-Hill of APS Group, Greg James of Havas Media Network North America and Yvonne van Bokhoven of TEAM LEWIS to challenge the habits marketers should leave behind. From AI-generated content and vanity metrics to the pursuit of scale over trust, you'll hear where marketing is wasting time and what deserves more attention instead. Hosted on Acast.

Mark Ritson's AI clinic: what peak season really tests
This week we're spotlighting Mark Ritson's AI marketing clinic.

On the examination table: why loyalty programmes keep collapsing into discounts, what synthetic data is doing for smaller B2B brands, whether we've reached the end of the John Lewis cycle, and why - 20 years on from search - the old rules still apply.

How breaking a record became a marketing strategy
Guinness World Records has quietly become a marketing machine, running roughly 1,300 brand activations a year for companies chasing attention through record-breaking stunts. We're joined by Marco Frigatti, Senior Vice President of Guinness World Records for Business, who started out as an adjudicator - measuring, counting and witnessing everything from the largest yoga class to a rather unfortunate fish-gutting attempt. We talk about how the record book became a brand-marketing engine, why record-breaking works so well for launches, destination marketing and employee engagement, and how Guinness has 'democratised' record-breaking so anyone can have a go.

How AI is reshaping agency models
For years, marketers have debated whether brands are better served by full-service agencies or specialist expertise. But as AI reshapes how agencies work, perhaps that's no longer the right question.In this bonus episode of The Drum Podcast, Richard Draycott is joined by Nick Beck (Founder & CEO, Tug), Heather Connearn (Managing Director, Space & Time) and Jennifer Maclennan (Group Managing Director, Fifth Ring) to explore how AI is changing agency models from the inside out. They discuss why strategy and judgement matter more than ever, how client expectations are evolving, whether independent agencies have an agility advantage, and why brand, PR and trusted expertise may become even more valuable in an AI-driven world. If you're rethinking what clients really need from agency partners today, this is a conversation worth hearing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How marketing became obsessed with comedians
The Edinburgh festivals and their fringes add up to the biggest arts festival in the world - a yearly event that's only outsold by the World Cup and Olympics. As it launches, we talk to Jonathan Grant, an ad creative, comic, talent manager and now author. We talk about Grant's book, Reading the Room: The Inside Story of Stand-Up in the 21st Century; comedy's role in the media ecosystem; and what's been gained and lost in comedy's commercialization.

Can a publisher still be 'just' a publisher?
Live from the floor of SXSW London, we're joined by Ramin Beheshti, the co-founder and CEO of Caliber, the 'new media' publisher behind social-first news brands like The News Movement. Like so many modern publishers, Caliber's commercial core contains more than news - including a marketing agency. But as publishers turn to all sorts of alternative revenue sources, is it still possible to make money from news alone? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
