This week's hot take: Wild didn't just get lucky. Their £230M exit to Unilever was the result of laser-focused strategic thinking from day one. In this episode, James and I unpack what made Wild stand out - from choosing the right high-margin category, to treating influencer marketing like a performance channel, and blending creativity with ruthless commercialism. We explore the intentionality behind every decision, the smart playbook of building for an exit, and why performance and creativity aren't opposites - they're partners.

Most marketing teams don't talk enough about what's actually working. So in this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on one of our favourite campaigns - from idea to execution - and unpacking the real reasons it delivered.James and I take you inside the strategy, creative, and chaos of a campaign we ran for a challenger brand that was big on personality, small on budget, and laser-focused on growth. We cover how we landed on the core idea, what made it stick with consumers, and why we almost didn't run it. Spoiler: sometimes the “least polished” work performs the best.We also get into:How to sell bold ideas into a founder-led teamWhy a bit of friction can lead to better creativeThe underestimated power of "low-fi" productionThe role of gut feel vs data when deciding what to launchIf you're tired of vague marketing case studies and want a real, honest look at how great campaigns come to life (plus the messiness behind the scenes), this episode is for you.Your HostsLottie Unwin founded Up World, Brand Hackers, and Up Talent with a simple goal: helping startups grow.

This week's hot take: Most brand strategies don't actually work. They sit in a deck, sound impressive in meetings, but never drive real growth.James and I have seen it happen over and over - brands with great products struggling because their strategy just isn't clear. So, we're breaking it all down. From the myths that keep brands stuck to the must-haves of a strategy that actually moves the needle, we're bringing the hot takes and hard truths.We get into why strategy isn't just a document, the power of knowing exactly who you're for (and who you're not), and how to craft brand positioning that truly resonates. Plus, the biggest mistake brands keep making—thinking branding is just a vibe rather than a system. (Spoiler: if you can't explain it in a sentence, it's not working.)If you're launching, scaling, or trying to figure out why your brand isn't cutting through, this episode is for you.Your HostsLottie Unwin founded Up World, Brand Hackers, and Up Talent with a simple goal: helping startups grow.

This week's hot take: Most hiring processes are broken. Companies focus on the wrong things, overlook the right talent, and end up with marketing teams that don't actually deliver.James and I have seen it all - hiring wins, hiring disasters, and those moments when you realise you've brought in the wrong person for the job. So, we're breaking it all down. From writing job descriptions that actually attract the right talent to spotting the key traits that make a marketer thrive in a fast-paced team, we're sharing our hottest takes.We talk about why curiosity and initiative matter more than years of experience, the surprising impact of a strong “learning diet,” and why personality can sometimes be just as important as skills in small teams. Plus, the one mistake that almost every startup makes when hiring for marketing (spoiler: they look for the wrong things).If you're hiring, thinking about hiring, or just want to know what makes a great marketing team tick, this one's for you.Your HostsLottie Unwin founded Up World, Brand Hackers, and Up Talent with a simple goal: helping startups grow.

This week's episode is one that every brand, founder, and marketing leader needs to hear - how to actually work with an agency (and avoid the biggest pitfalls).James and I have had many moments lately where we've sat in meetings thinking, “This could have been avoided if…” So, we're unpacking it all. From the weird power dynamics of brand-agency relationships to the absolute musts for making it work, we're sharing our hottest takes.We talk about the importance of transparency (yes, we do need the full picture), why treating your agency like a cost is a surefire way to get mediocre work, and when you shouldn't hire an agency at all. Plus, the one thing that agencies and brands both need to get better at - giving feedback (spoiler: it's so much easier than you think).If you're working with an agency now, thinking about hiring one, or just want to understand how to get the most out of the relationship, this episode is for you.Let us know what you think, and if you're feeling bold, maybe even send this episode to that client or agency… no context needed.

Since the day we opened, Brew By Numbers have been ever present in our fridges, and always pretty popular thanks to their great brews and sleek labels. However, several months ago they absolutely bowled over the UK brewing scene with their hazy, unfiltered, juicy pale ales and IPAs which were amongst the first in the "Yeast Coast" style. Suddenly they were catapulted to the forefront of everyone's mind with the incredible beers they were brewing. For our event, we were joined by founder Dave and events/marketing/beer man Chris. They took us through plenty of their beers, including these latest Pale Ales and IPAs. However, what's also brilliant is their nod to the brewing traditions of Belgium, with their Saisons still being one of the best modern interpretations of the style brewed in the UK currently. Finishing the night on their dangerously drinkable Tripel, hopped with Ella also showed that it just doesn't have to be a facemeltingly bitter and fruity pale beer to excite the palate. To listen to this Podcast on your iPhone or computer and subscribe to all new episodes, check out the We Broadcast Beer on the iTunes store. We also upload all our episodes to our SoundCloud account and Acast if iTunes isn't your thing! Produced by, and theme music by, Al Riley; hosted by James Hickson; massive thank you to Dave and Chris for coming down, and to all their brewers who perfectly blend modern and traditional brewing.

We were joined by Evin, the head brewer and founder of The Kernel brewery up in Bermondsey. Founded back before anyone else had thought to place breweries in railway arches and when they were only the fourth or fifth brewery in London at the time, they've really been at the forefront of the craft beer movement and have shown the way for everyone else who followed. For the evening, we tried five different beers and Evin talked about the unique philosophy which sits at the heart of everything The Kernel do. Many other breweries have tried to replicate this, but none have come close! Produced by, and theme music by, Al Riley; hosted by James Hickson; big thanks to Evin for coming down to our shop for the evening!

When Wimbledon Brewery opened last year we were incredibly excited at the prospect of having another incredible brewery so close to us. With head-brewer Derek Prentice leading the way, their initial offerings were cask only and we managed to nab one of the first batches for our Cask Beer Festival. They've since expanded their small package range and are now a permanent fixture across all three of our stores. For our Meet the Brewer event, we were joined by Derek and several of the team for six different beers, with some very cool keg vs bottle vs cask experiments going on. Wimbledon are forging their own path with more traditionally leaning beers and are brewing some of the best examples of their styles in London at the moment. Listen to one of the most respected person in the beer industry talk about their brewery and the wider beer scene. Produced by, and theme music by, Al Riley; hosted by James Hickson; big thanks to Derek and all the crew for coming down from to the shop, and also to whoever made their beer bread and cheese!

Episode 05 of We Broadcast Beer sees us chat with our marketing man, Ben, about some of the stuff going on up in the Manchester beer scene, as well as his experience of IndyManBeerCon. Our main feature this week is from our Meet the Brewer event with the Alphabet Brewing Co guys from up in Manchester and their assistant head brewer, Dan. Please note, there is a bit of swearing, so banish the kids from the room if you're listening to the podcast on speakers, or wait until they're asleep in the car! The beers we enjoyed are as follows: • Charlie Don't Surf - American Wheat (keg) • Nouvelle Saison - Saison (keg) • A to the K - Oatmeal Pale Ale (can) • Flat White - White Coffee Stout (can) • BA Crate Digger - Barrel-aged stout (keg) Hosted by James Hickson; produced by Al Riley; big thanks to the Alphabet Brewing Co. guys for coming down to London!

When Orbit Brewer founder Robert contacted us about hosting a special London Beer City event entitled “A History of London Beer” with renowned beer writer Adrian Tierney-Jones, we obviously jumped at the chance! The event featured a whistle-stop tour of London beer history, intertwined with tastings of Orbit’s beers and the not-so-occasional tangentially related story! We’ve split the event over two episodes because it lasted a bit longer than our usual events so be sure to keep an eye out for part two, which will be posted up soon! Produced by, and theme music by, Al Riley; hosted by James Hickson; big thanks to Adrian for coming up from Devon, and the Orbit guys for coming from the various places they live around London.

For the second episode of We Broadcast Beer, we invited Gregg Irwin down to our Clapham Junction store to chat about Weird Beard, and the beer scene in general. Weird Beard are one of our favourite breweries and have been a mainstay ever since we first opened. Gregg, one of the two co-founders, is a person who makes working in the beer scene as great a job as it is. Despite a pretty demanding job, he's always willing to make time for his customers, whether it's guys like us or the people who drink his beer. This, combined with a refreshing and honest perspective on what is happening in the beer world, meant he was someone we aways wanted to chat with. Download this episode to listen to our chat with Gregg, as well as info on upcoming events and more! A quick note that since we recorded this interview, Weird Beard have removed Decadence Stout and Spreadsheet Ninja from their core range. Produced by, and theme music by, Al Riley; hosted by James Hickson; big thanks to Gregg Irwin for taking time to come down to the store and chat to us!

When The Nerdy Show Network’s flagship podcast isn’t unloading on the latest geek news and happenings, we’re diving deep into super-specific discussions and interviews. Across the network, one of our favorite topics of discussion has got to be animation.

Join Cap, Doug, Jonathan from Wicked Anime, and Norbert Daniels Jr. of Saturday Morning Block Party as we dig through the gang's storied and sometimes sordid history. We explore the Hanna-Barbera history that led to the creation of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?, the cool and sometimes inexplicable crossovers, the new comic Scooby Apocalypse, and the series' crowning achievements such as the acclaimed Scooby-Doo!

Our very first We Broadcast Beer Episode features the incredible and hugely popular Beavertown Brewery. We invited them down for a Meet the Brewer event in our Balham store and were joined by Cosmo, one of their brewers, who has been with them for the last 2 years or so, and been part of their journey to becoming one of the leading lights in the UKs brewing industry. Beavertown have one of the most interesting stories in beer, and beers that have captured the imagination of both lovers of great beers and those who are only beginning their journey. We learn about their roots as a brewpub, their first foray into a dedicated brewing facility and what the future holds for them. So put some headphones on, sit back and enjoy! Produced by, and theme music by, Al Riley; hosted by James Hickson; big thanks to Cosmo and Charlotte from Beavertown for coming down to the shop and bringing along their amazing beer!
