    007 Kamila Wyszomirski

    TLDR: A thoughtful conversation on community, leadership, and why better marketing starts with people - not platforms. In this episode of the Studio D Podcast, Matt sits down with Kamila Wyszomirski, President of the Saskatchewan Professional Marketing Association (SPMA), to explore the role community, education, and shared responsibility play in shaping stronger marketing professionals across the province. Kamila brings a unique dual perspective - working full-time in a corporate marketing role while leading a volunteer-driven professional association. Together, they unpack the realities of marketing in Saskatchewan: small teams, limited resources, evolving expectations, and the importance of connection in an industry that often feels siloed. The conversation dives into the purpose of SPMA, the future of marketing education, the challenges of volunteer-led organizations, and why in-person events, shared learning, and human connection still matter deeply in a digital-first world  . You’ll hear about: Why community is the foundation of strong marketing ecosystems The challenges (and rewards) of leading a volunteer-based organization What marketers in Saskatchewan actually need right now The role of education, events, and peer learning in career growth Why marketing is a practice, not a finished product Letting go of perfection and building on what already works The ripple effect of raising the bar for marketing across an entire province This episode is especially valuable for marketers working on small teams, leaders navigating growth, and anyone who believes that better marketing starts with collaboration, curiosity, and showing up for each other.

    006 Olivia Bell

    TLDR: A deep, practical conversation on social media strategy, audience trust, and how to turn content into long-term momentum - not just views. In this episode of the Studio D Podcast, Matt sits down with Olivia Bell, Social Media Manager at TripleTen, to unpack what it really takes to build social media that performs in today’s crowded digital landscape. Olivia brings a rare blend of creativity and data-driven thinking, sharing how she approaches strategy across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn - especially when the goal isn’t just reach, but real connection and conversion. From content pillars and platform-specific strategy to funnels, analytics, and the psychology behind stopping the scroll, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how modern social teams actually work. The conversation also explores burnout, authenticity, and the tension between data and intuition - plus why entertaining content, trust-building, and consistency still matter more than any single viral moment  . You’ll hear about: What “strategy” really means in social media (and why it’s not one-size-fits-all) Turning followers into fans through entertaining, useful, and inspiring content How LinkedIn’s algorithm actually works - and how to use it intentionally Why comments, conversation, and community outperform vanity metrics Funnels, quizzes, and lead magnets that support long-term growth Balancing analytics with gut instinct when interpreting performance Why borrowing inspiration (not copying) is essential for creative momentum This episode is packed with actionable insight for marketers, founders, and creatives who want to build social media systems that are sustainable, human, and results-driven.

    005 Madison Bymoen

    TLDR: A refreshingly honest conversation on brand experience, culture, and why marketing doesn’t always need a playbook. In this episode of the Studio D Podcast, Matt sits down with Madison Bymoen, Marketing Lead at 3twenty Modular, to talk about what it really looks like to grow a brand from the inside out. Madison shares her unconventional approach to marketing - one rooted in listening, relationships, and real-world experience rather than rigid KPIs or trend-chasing. From documenting modular builds across Saskatchewan to shaping company culture through events, storytelling, and community connection, Madison offers a candid look at what happens when marketing is driven by trust and long-term thinking. The conversation explores what it means to truly own a brand voice, how culture and marketing are deeply connected, and why showing the process matters just as much as showing the finished product  . You’ll hear about: Why Madison calls herself “the least marketing-y marketer” Focusing on brand experience over traditional marketing metrics Building trust and visibility through documentation and storytelling How culture, events, and employee experience shape brand perception Using tools like photography, drones, Matterport, and AI to support - not replace - human connection Why “it’s just marketing” is sometimes the healthiest mindset This episode is a must-listen for marketers, founders, and creatives who want a more grounded, people-first approach to building brands that grow sustainably and authentically.

    004 Amber Glendenning

    TLDR: A thoughtful conversation on design, consistency, and why good branding is built with intention - not shortcuts. In this episode of the Studio D Podcast, Matt sits down with Amber Glendening, Senior Graphic Designer at LMNO Consulting, to unpack what it really means to build strong, consistent brands inside an agency environment. Amber shares her journey from early creative instincts to over two decades in the design industry, offering an inside look at how senior designers think about problem-solving, collaboration, and storytelling through visuals. They talk about brand guides as living documents, the balance between creativity and strategy, and why consistency across digital touch points matters more than ever - especially when your online presence is often the first impression. The conversation also explores agency life, B Corp values, collaboration across teams, and how design decisions quietly shape how people experience brands every day  . You’ll hear about: Why brand consistency isn’t about rigidity - it’s about clarity How good design guides users, emotionally and functionally The role of storytelling in logos, websites, and campaigns Why templates don’t replace strategy (and where tools like Canva do fit) How staying open-minded keeps creatives relevant in a fast-changing industry If you’re a business owner, marketer, or creative who cares about building brands that last, this episode offers grounded insight from someone deep in the work.
