THE FUEL PODCAST – SIMON DERUNGS – MAVERICK: ARE YOU BEING SERVED?

One of the advertising industry’s best known and most highly regarded Client Services Directors – Simon Derungs.

This show is a must listen to if you’re interested in finding out how to win, retain and create chemistry with clients.

In this show, Simon shares the wisdom that he’s accumulated in the advertising world since the early 90s.

We discuss how the ‘Suits’ and the ‘Creatives’ learned to play nicely together, the dramatic Co-op ad that never made it to print, how the UK ad industry works for societal good, the UK’s huge, deep and never ending creative talent and the industry’s constant navel gazing about its fees.

How do you put a value on ideas?

Some wonderful industry legends discussed and we look back on the last 90+ years of advertising campaigns, including the brilliance of jingles, instant creativity, the loss of the 45-second commercial and lots, lots more.

THE FUEL PODCAST – EPISODE 18: JOHN ASHTON OF WRITE ARM

John Ashton wasn’t really expecting to be seen as a visionary businessman when he set up Write Arm – a coterie of skilled business to business writers, ready to deploy at a moment’s notice to help elevate boring jargon-heavy marketing copy to celestial quality, but he is now.

So many marketing departments are starved of the kind of literal excellence that Write Arm supplies but now, never more in need.

In the episode, John explains how he conceived the idea of Write Arm, why engaging copy is more important than ever and covers the five influences of inspiration.

Our in-house wit Jeremy Davies recounts an amusing new business brief encounter.
