In this discussion with Tori McNoe we talk about how she is weaving knowledge systems together to the benefit of all but also how she’s navigating the world of supporting rangtahi Māori (young Māori) and working to give them a voice in our society.

This is my talk on Marketing Manipulation that accompanied the art exhibition ”By Spectral Hands” by local artist, James Oram.

A discussion with Sir Ashley Bloomfield and Prof. Stacy Wood about their experiences of driving change during the COVID19 pandemic.

Meg Nelis has spent her life advocating for positive mental wellbeing amongst young people. She draws on the very best 'book' knowledge, with practical tips and weaves them together in her own journey of mental wellbeing. We do touch on our own experiences of mental wellbeing so this is a trigger warning for those who struggle with depression, anxiety, or eating disorders. We don't go into depth on these subjects, but it's worth noting. 

My kōrero (chat) with Anton Matthews - founder of the Hustle Group, and how he uses his business platform to teach te reo Māori and build up the next generation of Māori leaders.

I love Liam's approach to comms, marketing and life. He's walking that line of reach and relevance in a manner that taps into what is happening in our world. Sometimes that can be considered 'off-brand' in some marketers' minds, but it works for him and his brands. Hear him talk about how he engages, how he decides what's 'too far' and what he things the future of this industry needs to allow brands to be unapologetically authentic.

In this episode Assoc. Prof. Ann-Marie Kennedy, Dr. Joya Kemper and I discuss how social marketing (marketing for social good/wellbeing) can be effectively taught. We recently had a paper published on this in the Journal of Social Marketing (https://doi.org/10.1108/JSOCM-08-2021-0192) and we go into a bit more depth as to why we feel it's important to bring a social lens to marketing education and an experiential approach to pedagogy.

Anna has a rich experience of place and festival planning around the world, including the Global Head of Marketing for TopDeck Travel, before moving to Ōtautahi Christchurch to head up the marketing for the city. We talk about all the complexities of branding & marketing a city and how difficult it is when everyone in a city has an opinion of what it should be!

Understanding people is one of the most complex parts of marketing - but, for some reason, young people seem to be magnitudes more complex in the eyes of people my age and above. In this episode I chat with three amazing rangatahi (young leaders) who all operate in different spaces to help activate young diverse voices and help us to de-mystify young people in Aotearoa New Zealand. Let us know what you think about this kōrero with Rosa Hibbert-Schooner, Josiah Tualamali'i, and Katie Mills.

In this episode I kōrero (chat) with Alyce Lysaght who is the founder of the Māori in Engineering podcast. The more I listened to her podcast the more I realised what she was talking about with her guests was relevant to the business world, too. In this discussion we talk about the importance of Te Ao Māori (Māori worldview) and how she stays culturally safe in the spaces she operates in to unleash the potential of Māori. 

Emma Crequer has worked as a digital marketing expert for a number of innovative brands as well as being one of the Marketing Association Southern Hub's speakers on driving success from digital campaigns.

We talk all things branding and marketing as well as some of the trickier issues of privilege and fast fashion.
