    Greener Grass? Probably Fake Turf with Oscar Osei

    Everyone thinks the other side has it easier. Brand-side? Endless budgets and dreamy deadlines. Agency-side? Creative freedom and nonstop hustle. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain to reveal what it’s really like on both sides of the experiential events world — the myths, the struggles, and the surprising respect that bridges the divide. Joined by Clio Award Winner and Experiential Marketing Expert Oscar Osei, we’ll explore the tension, the envy, and how brand and agency teams can better collaborate to make magic happen. Oscar has worked on experiential activations with brands from Airbnb to Refinery29’s 29Rooms, Netflix, BEIS, HBO, and 818 to name a few.

    You Had to be There: The Power of Experiences with John Connors

    In a world obsessed with impressions, the brands that win are the ones creating impressions that last.  We're joined by John Connors-- who does unserious things seriously well, blending experience design, interactive art, and large-scale events to create unforgettable human connections. From launching The Color Run to leading projects for brands like MLB, Adobe, and Crumbl, his 15-year career has spanned 200 cities, 30 countries, millions of guests, and even a few Nutcracker performances. In this episode, we're diving into why real-life experiences still reign supreme — and how experiential marketing is turning FOMO into ROI. From immersive events to buzz-worthy brand moments, we explore how strategic storytelling and emotional engagement can drive serious business impact. Whether you're leading a marketing team or pitching your next activation, this one's for the believers in goosebumps, group chats, and the kind of moments that make people say, “You had to be there.” Find John on Instagram @owenjohn Follow us on Instagram @PitchKillRepeat Watch full episodes on YouTube @PitchKillRepeat
