Welcome to an audio-led edition of Unmade. Today we've an episode of our series focusing on industry startups, The Unmakers. We talk to the co-founders of fast growing influencer platform Fabulate. And further down, mixed fortunes on the Unmade Index.If you've been thinking about upgrading to an Unmade membership, this is the perfect time. Your membership includes:* Member-only pricing for our HumAIn (May 28) and REmade (October 1) conferences;* A complimentary invitation to Unmade's Compass event (November);* Member-only content and our paywalled archives; * Your own copy of Media UnmadeBen Gunn and Nathan Powell on Fabulate's five year push into the technology of influencer marketingA noticeable trend in adland is that nobody is making it big by starting another media company or advertising agency.However, those working inside the legacy players have been perfectly placed to understand the problems of brands and publishers, and work out how to solve them. The technology based solutions have the ability to scale globally in a way that media offerings and agencies do not.Recent examples include media mix modelling platform Mutinex, started by WPP staffers Henry Innis and Matt Farrugia; micro influencer platform Tribe started by then 2Day FM presenter Jules Lund, and retail media platform Zitcha, which span out of media agency Hatched.A further example which deserves a higher profile is Fabulate, whose founders include former Nine staffers Ben Gunn and Nathan Powell, along with Toby Kennett. Today's podcast focuses on the Fabulate story.Five years on, Fabulate barely counts as a start up any more. It employs more than 50 staff and manages campaigns to the value of millions of dollars. In the conversation, chief revenue officer Gunn and content and strategy boss Powell are cagier about revealing the platform's own direct revenue, but they drop some hints.In March, Fabulate was named best influencer marketing technology service by AiMCO (the Australian Influencer Marketing Council).With its roots in text-based branded content, Fabulate is now deeply in the short form video influencer space, including TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube. The platform connects influencers to brands and manages workflow for marketing campaigns. It is also planning to gear up around LinkedIn influencers.Along with being integrated into IPG Mediabrands's Kinesso social offering, Fabulate is working with almost all Australia's influencer agencies, as well as major PR agencies including Edelman.The wide ranging conversation - which is part of Unmade's ongoing The Unmakers series - covers Fabulate's first five years, an overview of the fast changing influencer sector, and insights into where the company goes next.Previous episodes of The Unmakers:Unmade Index flat as TV networks look upThe Unmade Index battled itself into equilibrium on Wednesday, with broad falls across most of the list counterbalanced by improvements from Nine and Seven West Media.With the index moving up by just 0.2 points to 546.1, Nine did much of the heavy lifting, rising by 1.3%, while Seven was up 2.5%.Meanwhile Ooh Media, IVE Group, ARN Media and Southern Cross Austereo all slumped.Today's podcast was edited by Abe's Audio, the people to talk to about voiceovers, editing and production.Time to leave you to your Thursday.We'll be taking a one-day publishing break tomorrow.I'm in Sydney today at the Australian Associational of National Advertisers Reset conference (one question I'm considering: is the “growth” theme of the event in keeping with the mood music around sustainability? Your thoughts please.)And tomorrow afternoon I'm jumping on QF1 to London for Advertising Week Europe. It looks as though the upgrade gods have not smiled upon me.

Paul was just 14 years old when his father asked him what career he wanted to choose.    Having grown up beguiled by the jet set life depicted in Martini TV ads, Paul simply mentioned “Advertising.”    Other than having a liking for ads, Paul had no connection with the Ad world but he was determined to find out more.  Luckily, at the time, Watford College was unique in being famous for being a place to study advertising, they took around 35 students a year and Paul managed to be one of them.    Paul's advertising career began at Saatchi & Saatchi in 1977, where he started as an account executive. As Paul describes, Saatchi & Saatchi were an agency that was on the up, they broke the rules and were very anti-establishment. 10 years later, he was made CEO and in charge of one of the biggest agencies in the world.  A few years later Paul faced a decision, should he leave his well-paying CEO role at one of the world's most successful and coveted agencies, to start a new agency?    Taking a leap of faith, Paul co-founded Bainsfair Sharkey Trott (BST) in 1990. BST was soon widely recognised as one of London's most successful independent agencies during the 90s.    In 1998, BST was eventually acquired by Omnicom and merged with TBWA, where Paul became Chairman of TBWA UK and President of TBWA Europe. Paul was responsible for 35 offices, 3,000 staff and TBWA was named Best Global Network in 2003 and 2006.    After taking a sabbatical in 2008, Paul joined Iris, the UK's largest marketing agency, first as Partner and CEO of Iris Europe and then as Chairman of Iris Worldwide.    By 2011, Paul was contacted by the IPA committee as they were searching for a new Director General. Paul thought it over…. He decided it was the right time and liked the idea of having a point of view across the whole industry and an opportunity to give back. After a formal interview, he was offered the role of Director General of the IPA.    Paul sits on the boards of Radio Joint Audience Research, The Advertising Standards Board of Finance, The Broadcast Advertising Standards Board of Finance, Broadcasters' Audience Research Board and Advertising Week (Europe).    To hear Paul speak about his Mad Men days at Saatchi & Saatchi, meeting Steve Jobs for the first time and his story on becoming the ultimate Adman, listen to this episode of How I Became.
