Today’s episode is live from Whelans in Dublin at the IAPI Cannes Young Lions competition showcase. The Young Lions competition gives the next generation of industry superstars the chance to prove themselves answering a charity brief under intense pressure. It is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate & support young creative talent in Ireland. I was delighted to go along to the winners showcase and chat to some of the amazing creative teams that participated and won. We need to celebrate creativity and we need to encourage the next generation of creatives to stay in this industry and help elevate Ireland’s creative capabilities on the world stage. We are a nation of world class storytellers, artists, musicians - our creative outputs in marketing and advertising should be world class. These winners share the approach to tackling the brief, what it felt like to win and what they are expecting at Cannes.

Today’s guest is the fascinating Ellie Norman, Chief Communications Officer at Manchester United. This is a wonderful story of embracing challenges, from diving into the marketing world without prior experience to leading innovative branding strategies at big brands. Ellie has worked for Honda, which must have been a dream job for someone who grew up loving motorised vehicles and Ellie certainly made the most of it as you will hear. Ellie totally changed direction going to Virgin Media and then the call came to lead marketing at Formula One, where Ellie set up the first ever marketing structure and helped transform the perceptions of the sport, and yes we do talk about Drive to Survive. In a fascinating next step Ellie took over marketing at the glorious Manchester United, and what is fascinating is Ellie had no real love for football, so we talk about what attracted her to the role at the greatest football club in the world (can you sense the bias!). This episode sheds light on the power of curiosity, the significance of building relationships, and the impact of strategic marketing in the ever-evolving world of sports and entertainment.

The Mindless Marketers is a new segment with the Sleeping Barber podcast. So today Vassilis Douros and Marc Binkley join me in a humorous exploration of some of todays hottest marketing topics with inspiration from the wonderful work of Tom Fishburne Founder and CEO of Marketoonist. We show and explain a selection of cartoons that we like and then debate topics like changes in marketing roles, the relevance of chief marketing officer (CMO) positions, and the efficiency of different marketing strategies. We discuss the challenges and misconceptions in the marketing industry, such as the reliance on data versus insight, the perception of marketing departments within organisations, and the shift towards prioritising first-party data due to cookie deprecation. The episode also touches on creative advertising, customer-centric approaches, and the importance of brand and product availability to consumers. Through a mix of personal anecdotes, industry insights, and discussing Toms cartoons, we delve into the complexities of marketing an industry we all love.

In February Walter T Geer posted that he was going to shut down his social media and “use it to amplify the voices of Black women that needed a mega phone” Walter commented that Historically Black women “have CONSISTENTLY been called upon to help solve the worlds problems. It wasn’t too long ago that leaders and companies called upon and hired many of these women, to save their companies by addressing their diversity issues. Now only a few years later, many of those same leaders and companies seem to have forgotten the very people who helped dig them out of a hole”
I was in touch with Walter and asked if he thought it was a good idea to profile some of the women he had featured and host a panel discussion on their experiences in marketing and communications and from their perspectives why we are where we are and what needs to change. 
I was incredibly grateful that six of the black female leaders featured by Walter came back and agreed to be part of the discussion. In Part One of that discussion I am joined by
*Effie Kanyua, Founder: We Are Warriors PR - featured in PR Week's 'New Agencies to Watch in 2024'
*Ekaette Kern, Co-Founder and CEO, Tenet Consultancy.
*LeAnne Weekes, public relations and marketing expert looking for her next role
In this episode we have a really open conversation we discuss barriers to entry for black professionals in the field, including recruitment challenges, unpaid internships, lack of progression routes, and systemic issues. The panel discuss real-life examples of overcoming barriers in the industry, strategies for enhancing diversity in marketing and communications, stories of perseverance, creativity, and success, advice for aspiring professionals, emphasising the value of networking. Despite some progress, our industry still has a long way to go in truly embracing diversity and inclusivity. Let's learn, grow, and support each other in making the marketing world a place where everyone's voice is heard and valued. 💡
