    "We filed a tax return from space" - Kirsty Mitchell and Alan Broome on genius accountant marketing

    Kirsty Mitchell (FreeAgent) and Alan Broome (Acumenica) join Derek Granger to talk about marketing that doesn't feel like marketing 🌟 Kirsty explains how FreeAgent turned "we're ready for MTD" into a campaign that involved filing a tax return from space — and why it became a whole series rather than a one-off stunt. Alan talks through his Three Things Thursday email, why he'd never hire a full-time business development person again, and the difference between being authentic and being a clown on LinkedIn. Together they get into why "best fit beats best," the risk of taking on every client just to win the business, and why an old-fashioned bus advert is still paying off two months later 🔎
