Deliveroo needs no introduction! We chat to the brilliant Beth Thomas who has been their Social Media Manager for the past two years. We cover Topshop (RIP), brands getting involved in trending topics, feeding sushi to penguins and our problem with helicopters!

23 | Brand Wars with John McManus from Minor Figures

The rise in popularity of dairy alternatives has sparked a true brand war among a category of feisty, quirky challenger brands and one that we've covered before on the podcast (Nespresso vs. Oatly) but a new challenger has entered: Minor Figures. Minor Figures describes itself as an unlikely mob of painters, jazz musicians, basketball players and barbers, brought together by a love of specialty coffee and all of the creative cultures in its orbit. Minor Figures makes plant-based, 100% vegan products to lift your coffee and your mind. So we're really excited to welcome our special guest this week - Marketing Director "AKA the real skimmed shady" John McManus. Enjoy.

20 | Luxury Special with Grace Fung from Coty

Welcome to a belated edition of Brand Wars and sadly, the last one for a little while. We recorded this one back in the summer but it's taken a LONG time to get approved and uploaded... This episode's guest is the brilliant Grace Fung. Grace has been working at the global beauty titan Coty for 12 years but her current role is the Influencer Marketing & Comms Lead for the luxury division, working on brands including Gucci, Calvin Klein, Burberry, Hugo Boss and more! We ask the big philosophical question, what is luxury? How can brands use social without spoiling their premiumness? Can beauty brands use Twitch? and how much random stuff can you order to a table from the Wetherspoons app? Like I said, luxury! Thanks for listening and we'll be back soon.
