A marketing podcast that works for newbies too

I have zero marketing background, but decided to start my own business after 10 years of employment.

Nudge is easy to listen to and engaging to my non-business brain. It’s help shape decisions I’ve made around utilising my small marketing budget as effectively as possible.

Fast became my go-podcast

Real research, bite sized. What more can you ask for? Nudge has become my go-to for all commutes and dog walks to help me quickly and easily keep on top of great science that helps me at work. Love it!

Invaluable

I’m retired, now, but still find the insights in this podcast both fascinating and useful in everyday life. Highly recommended, whether you are a practitioner or just someone who wants to understand the practitioners of these arts!
