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 something a bit different - I get asked to do a lot of public speaking and I gave a kōrero at the Christchurch Art Gallery on "Marketing Manipulation" as an accompanying talk to the art exhibition by James Oram. There are slides associated with this discussion but hopefully you can make out what is happening - if not, sing out and I'll send you the slides!

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 no...

Check him out on Insta (@AntonTheHustler), look up his upcoming event, Angitu '22, and drop into Fush next time yo...
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 pedago...

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 ...
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. In this kōrero Emma talks about her approach and the importance of building relationships in digital spaces and what others can do to maximise the efficacy of their digital approach.
In this kōrero I chat with Pera May on how she incorporates her personal values into her design and creative brand. Pera is the owner and founder of Pera May (www.peramay.com) which seeks to leverage creativity and design through fashion but also share a message of people, education, sustainability and ethicality. We talk all things branding and marketing as well as some of the trickier issues of privilege and fast fashion.
