We flagged down a Big Yellow Taxi and rode it all the way to Melbourne to catch copywriter and Joni Mitchell mega-fan, Carolyn Barclay, this week. A stubbornly strategy-first copywriter, Carolyn helps brands sound like actual humans instead of soulless robots sent from the future to bore us to death. She's also co-founder of Kingswood & Palmerston, a creative consultancy solving marketing puzzles for B2B and making ads for ad agencies. She talks to us on selling cheap suits to men who call them straitjackets, Bob Dylan, writing great copy by studying song writing, outspending versus outsmarting, why ordering ten blogs with a side of social is rarely the right thing to do, Eaon Pritchard, making ads for ad agencies, why rappers are good copywriters, whether AI robots really will take our jobs and a shed load more. ///// Follow Carolyn on Twitter and LinkedIn Check out her website And Kingswood & Palmerston Follow K&P on Twitter and LinkedIn too Here's David Moore's collection of Ads for Ad Agencies Carolyn recommends Eaon Pritchard's Back to Basics course Read Carolyn's blog “How my failed songwriting career helps me write better copy” When Writing Sings by Gary Provost To Leave Something Behind by Sean Rowe Ads we chat about: …Gasp!

Fridays are not awesome because they usher in the weekend, but because they bring together 5 previous CoronaTV guests and not just any 5, but David Meerman Scott, Faith James, Eaon Pritchard (if he wakes up), Kuda Biza and Mark Schaefer. Each of my 5 guests will have a 5-minute slot to introduce the topic of their choice and then collectively, we’ll discuss. I don’t know the topics in advance; nor do I necessarily want to know them. Plus I’ll show you the best of the week that was in the form of my 1-minute CoronaByte highlights. This week you’ll hear from Nate Woodbury, Kerry O’Shea Gorgone, Tom Deierlein and Farrah Bostic Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Are you ready for your head to hurt? Well it’s gonna because Eaon Pritchard is in the house. He’s a Scot living in Oz and so it’s appropriate to talk to a South African in the US about Football (soccer) and home field advantage, right? We’ll also talk TikTok and cover his two books about my favorite subject, advertising! Plus it’s 5am in the morning his time, so expect him to be extra cranky. Learn more about your ad choices.

Eaon Pritchard is working on his second book. Sort of. You see, he published his first book in 2018. It was called “Where Did It All Go Wrong?” Then he ran into a career surprise and is now working out what kind of work he wants to do and how to get that work. We talk about how all of this feels like and how to keep going when the going gets shitty. You can find Eaon here: https://twitter.com/eaonp For more strategy talk: 1.

Eaon Pritchard is a writer and a practicing advertising strategist. He's written a wonderful book called, Where Did It All Go Wrong? Adventures at the Dunning Kruger Peak of Advertising. In it, Eaon attempts to find the truth and some clarity in today's chaotic, conflicting and jargon-happy advertising world. His book and this podcast are chock-a-block with wit, wisdom, musical knowledge and seemingly random references from science and pop culture. Listen in and learn where things went wrong and what it takes to make them right.

**This week’s podcast guest Eaon Pritchard was a tough catch, seeing as he is based in Melbourne and all, but that didn’t stop us collaring him for a chat.** He’s a self-proclaimed ‘advertising douchebag’, but that does him a disservice, as Eaon has worked as an ad creative and planner for over 20 years, firstly in London and now over in Oz. He also lectures, consults, and writes regularly for WARC and other ad industry publications, while his spectacular and highly-praised book on advertising, ‘Where Did it All Go Wrong?’ caused R/GA’s Head of Strategy Rob Campbell to declare; “Eaon is funny and insightful. I hate him.” ///// **Eaon Pritchard:** Twitter: [@eaonp](https://twitter.com/eaonp) [Where Did It All Go Wrong](https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1544901054/) - Adventures At The Dunning Kruger Peak Of Advertising [The Stupidity Paradox: The Power and Pitfalls of Functional Stupidity at Work](https://www.amazon.com/Stupidity-Paradox-Power-Pitfalls-Functional/dp/1781255415) by Mats Alvesson [The Triumph of Emptiness: Consumption, Higher Education, and Work Organization](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0199660948) by Mats Alvesson [Business Bullshit](https://www.amazon.com/Business-Bullshit-Andr-C3-A9-Spicer-dp-1138911674/dp/1138911674/) by Andre Spicer [Intuition Pumps And Other Tools for Thinking](https://www.amazon.com/Intuition-Pumps-Other-Tools-Thinking/dp/0393082067/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?crid=1NYB8CQC3RRH9&keywords=dennett+intuition+pumps&qid=1553815342&s=gateway&sprefix=dennett+intuition%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C351&sr=8-1-fkmrnull) by Daniel C.
