S7E8 - Productivity rituals and focus hacks

Season 7 · Episode 8

Thursday, March 12, 2026 • Duration 22:03

Hey marketing mates! In this episode, we're talking about productivity and the small rituals that help us actually get things done.

From the morning coffee (or decaf!) that gets us into work mode, to the systems and habits that keep the day on track, we're unpacking our simple productivity hacks that make a big difference.

We cover practical strategies like writing your to-do list the day before, focusing on just two or three key priorities each week, and batching similar tasks so you can stay in the right headspace. We also dive into protecting your focus time and share tools and techniques that help avoid distraction and overwhelm.

If your calendar is already filling up and you're looking for a reset on how to work smarter, this episode is packed with reminders, ideas, and a few productivity experiments you might want to try.

So grab your coffee, block out some focus time, and let's talk productivity.

S7E7 - Little treat and nostalgia culture

Season 7 · Episode 7

Tuesday, February 17, 2026 • Duration 16:49

Hey marketing mates! This episode feels like a warm hug in podcast form. Today we're diving into little treats and nostalgia culture… because let's be honest, the world feels like a lot right now.

People are actively craving comfort. Online chatter around nostalgia grew by 18% in 2025. That's over 43 million conversations (Brandwatch, 2025)! And while big indulgences might be off the table, "little treat" moments are booming, with more than 40,000 mentions every month.

Over 20% of marketers are now looking at how those small, feel-good moments can show up in their strategies. So grab your coffee (or your little treat of choice) and tune in. We're unpacking why comfort is converting and why looking back might just be the way forward.

If we're not already friends on socials, let's connect!

As we enter the new work week, you're likely sitting down with a cuppa and starting to plan out the next few days. Guesses are you're feeling one of two things - energised and ready for the week ahead, or a sense of overwhelm and decision paralysis.

If you're in Group B, our old friend "Procrastination" is likely to rear its ugly head. But don't fret, the Pomodoro Technique is here to get you back on track.

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management system that encourages you to work in focused chunks, separated by regular breaks. These intervals are referred to as pomodoros.

Tune in to more about this technique and give it a whirl this week! Let us know how you go…

S6E5 - How readability can improve your marketing copy: Tools and frameworks

Season 6 · Episode 5

Wednesday, March 15, 2023 • Duration 11:11

Put simply, readability determines how easy or difficult it is to understand a piece of text.

When you consider how much copy a marketer writes in a day, whether that's social posts, emails, blogs, or website copy, readability is pretty darn important.

The tools we explore in this episode include:

Datayze Readability Analyzer - Estimates the readability of a passage of text using the Flesch Reading Ease, Fog Scale Level, Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, and other metrics.

WebFX Readability Test - Similar to Datayze, but tests the readability of your whole website.

Onmisend Email Subject Line Tester - Analyses and improves your email subject lines.

WordHippo - Basically a thesaurus on steroids.

S6E3 - New year new you: Auditing your personal brand

Season 6 · Episode 3

Saturday, February 25, 2023 • Duration 11:48

It's still relatively early in the new year (although March is creeping up incredibly quickly!), which means it's the perfect time for you to undertake a little personal brand audit.

Did you have a Myspace when you were younger (gah, cringe)? Or maybe you're like Belle and have had sporadic Twitter phases on and off for the last 10+ years…

In this ep, Liz steps us through 5 simple ways we can do a social media audit to ensure the content that appears online for your personal brand reflects what you want it to:

Start by doing a Google of your name (don't forget any nicknames or maiden names)
Check all your old social media accounts
Be sure to double-check all your social media privacy settings
Audit your current social account content
1. Does this portray the right message?
2. Would I feel ok if this was shown on TV or to my grandparents?
3. Is it something that can be used to harm my personal security?
4. Do I need to update anything to be relevant/meet best practice
Update your profiles and messaging to reflect the new year (new job, new headshot)

Bonus tip: Use this cleansing energy to also unsubscribe from any emails you no longer want!

Do you have any other tips or tricks for auditing your personal brand?

Chances are you've heard about ChatGPT by now…the OpenAI chatbot that is taking the internet by storm! As a marketer you're likely on one of 2 teams:

Oh no, it's happening, robots are here to take my job.
The answer to my writer's block prayers have been answered.

In this episode, Belle shares some ways that she has been using it as an ideation prompt…
