Lindsey loves television. But quite unlike her fellow enthusiast, the idle Mike Teavee, Lindsay is awash with ideas and and knowledge. She's a fellow of the Marketing Society, an Honorary Fellow of the IPA and a member of the Marketing Group of Great Britain. She also holds and has held Senior Roles in some of the most prestigious media organisations and if we were to compare her to any of the Roald Dahl characters, a more fitting persona would be that of the superhuman Matilda Wormwood. This conversation covers strategies, innovations, and data, as well as some of Lindsay's TV recommendations, and it's a must-listen for Planners everywhere; from Hawkins, Indiana to Richmond, Surrey.

Since beginning her career at Dennis Publishing, Julia Linehan has been at the heart of the changing digital media landscape. She's held major commercial roles, both agency and media side, and since 2012, she's poured her (considerable) energy into The Digital Voice, a PR agency with an incredible people first philosophy. Julia is also a co-founder of SPILL, an industry group of like-minded people who've said no to alcohol... or who are at least...sober curious. Hosted on Acast.
