Fix Fest: going ‘AI premium’ with Nick O’Connor

Wednesday, June 26, 2024 • Duration

Why copywriters and creatives need to go premium in the age of AI

AI makes things easier. It does the grunt work quicker. It’s a machine. This isn’t speculation, it’s just the way it is. It means copywriters need to focus on what makes them unique, what makes them employable beyond the grunt work. This is something direct-response copywriter and The Fix co-founder, Nick O’Connor, talks about with Glenn Fisher in this fascinating discussion.

This is the fourth in a series of episodes we are running in partnership with Fix Fest 2, a festival dedicated to copywriting, marketing and creativity. This year, the event’s theme is ‘AI or Die’, and as well as Nick, a whole host of industry experts will be speaking on the day.

It takes place on 3 July. In London. We’ll be there, along with copywriters and marketers from all over the world. You can find out how to join us here, and find out more about the event by listening to the first episode of the series with Fix Fest’s creator, Glenn Fisher.

Lori Meakin on gender polarisation in media

Wednesday, May 15, 2024 • Duration

For this podcast Editor Mike Piggott welcomes back returning guest, Lori Meakin. Lori is author of the book No More Menemies and co-founder and CEO of The Others & Me. They discuss a recent insight report her consultancy has put together, delving into default-male design, models of conversation and feminine coded characters like Ted Lasso, how advertising is portrayed in the media (speaking on Calvin Klein and that FKA Twigs advert), social media algorithms limiting your point of view, gender norms, lad culture and '90s girl power, and more.

About The Others & Me

The Others & Me was founded by Lori Meakin, a multi-award-winning strategist, author of No More Menemies. The innovation consultancy helps companies drive growth and maximise competitive advantage by a: Developing products and services for valuable but overlooked audiences (gender being the primary focus), and b: Creating a more effective, innovation-focused leadership and culture. Their recent insight report The Power Of The Invisible Women explores how default-male design and ideas are limiting business growth, and what we can do about it. It lays out the context, challenges, and most importantly, opportunities for brands who take an innovative and business-first approach to gender equality & inclusion. Because as research shows, they’re not mutually exclusive. And there's big competitive gain for those who get there first.
