We’ve all been there — Excel screams “don’t,” but your gut’s already doing a victory dance.
In this episode, Amy and Jen dive into the chaos of modern marketing: how to balance spreadsheets and instincts without losing your mind.
And it’s our first-ever guest episode! 🎉
Joining us is strategist Luke, who somehow makes data and gut feelings actually get along. We talk about:
When to trust the numbers (and when to ignore them).
Why “good data” isn’t always the boss.
How to trust your gut without causing a campaign meltdown.
Spoiler: the best decisions usually start with a hunch… and maybe a coffee.
What’s a real day in media actually like? Spoiler -it’s not the polished LinkedIn version.
Amy and Jen ditch the highlight reel and spill the chaos —from doom-scrolling before coffee to silently crying through “quick” meetings that last forever.
Plus: the one task they’d happily delete forever, brutallyhonest survival tips for newbies (besides “run”), and Jen’s ultimate tagline: “No day in media is normal… thankfully, my gym days are.”
You’ve just landed your dream job in media. You’re ready to disrupt, optimise, slay. And then someone says, “We’ll need to review the 1PD before the PCR to boost our tROAS.” Uh… sorry, what now?
In this episode, Jen and Amy crack open the confusing, acronym-stuffed world of media jargon — the unofficial language of pitches, decks, and late-night Slack messages.
From CPCs to WTFs, they’ll help you decode the chaos, laugh through the confusion, and leave you with a jargon survival kit (minus the buzzword bingo card… maybe).
Perfect for newbies, veterans, or anyone who’s ever nodded in a meeting while secretly Googling under the table.
In this episode, we’re taking a (slightly chaotic) stroll down memory lane—from awkward first gigs and accidental career moves to the life lessons we definitely didn’t ask for but got anyway. Expect some raw stories, a few regrets, and a healthy dose of “what were we thinking?”
We unpack how our upbringings shaped our hustle, how we’ve navigated the wild ride that is the media industry, and why asking the “dumb” questions was actually the smartest thing we ever did.
Oh—and if you’ve ever wondered what creative dreams we almost chased instead? Let’s just say… spreadsheets weren’t always part of the plan.
Welcome to #Misscheduled —your go-to podcast for surviving (and occasionally thriving in) the chaotic world of media and advertising.
Hosted by Amy and Jen, two long-time industry frenemies-turned-friends, we started on opposite sides of the brief and somehow ended up in each other’s calendars… usually double-booked.
If you’ve ever cried over a deadline, bonded over a late-night deck rewrite, or Googled “what does a strategist actually do?”—this one’s for you.
New episodes drop monthly (that’s the plan but it alldepends on our calendars, client crises, and caffeine levels).
