25.7 Nursery rhymes and winter swims

A long time coming, this episode brings the godfather of AUT AdSchool, Mr Paul White, back into the dungeon of AUT. He taught the three of us most of what we know and regales us with stories of how the course came about, what has changed over the years and how he spends his time now he's no longer inspiring the youth on a daily basis.

Similar vintage

One of the most inspiring speakers at the 2024 Digital Marketing World Forum was Christian d'Ippolito, Head of Marketing and Development at Steel Warriors. He talks about how he has taken skills learnt in the ad industry to help fight knife crime and build community through Steel Warriors. He also talks us through two of his favourite ads, this super-simple print ad for Coke Light and the inimitable Mr. W.

University, chocolate and Oompa Loompas

A detour up to Birmingham let us record this episode in the Media Production studios at Birmingham City University. Sam Coley talks a bit about being a kiwi in Birmingham then leads us down a trail of chocolate ads. We talk about Milky Bar, Crunchie, Creme Eggs & Scorched Almonds and Sam's generous walking tour of the city which included stops at the Mailbox, BBC Radio and a peek through the window at some celebrity art.


Bonus ads mentioned: Tina Fey - Booking.com vs Christopher Walken - BMW. These came out within a month of each other. Which do you think is better (worse)? Email us at addadsnz@gmail.com with your thoughts.
