    Episode 1: Introduction... and thoughts on private vs public sector comms.

    Welcome to Marketing Matters. The podcast where two white middle aged men (because that's the podcast law) talk about stuff.

    In particular, Ben Capper of Grey Fox Communications and Marketing Ltd and Rich Forshaw-Smith of RFS Marketing Ltd talk about everything to do with marketing and communications, and why it's important.

    In this Episode, Ben and Rich talk about the differences and similarities between public and private sector comms, and find out that there's more of the former than the latter.

    Whatever you do, it's about being known, liked and trusted.

    Have a listen, and enjoy.
