A chat with the marketing and climate expert Craig Davis, where we review our environmental and advertising series, to verify our sources and give you all the talking points you need to speak with authority on how the creative industries can be part of the solution and not the problem.

We cover farming and plant-based food, EVs, global warming and renewable energy.

It’s all here folks! How to use trusted sources of information, how the cost benefit ration has been skewed to fool us, how to move away from reliance on dictators and despots for our energy, the art of survival, lying politicians, how big auto is wasting valuable marketing money, Elon Musk and Tesla, automotive ecosystems, how the EV market will consolidate, the Albedo Effect and the Climate Clock, the 8 year climate cliff, the war on subsidies, Impossible Foods, Fossil fuels Coca-Cola and Cop 27.

Like Donald Trump after an FBI raid, the climate deniers’ argument keeps changing. Rachel Konrad stands on the battlements for our planet and challenges the fossil fuel companies and the intensive farming lobby every day. Hailing from Motown itself – Detroit to become one of Silicon Valley’s leading tech evangelists, Rachel knows only too well the environmental catastrophe we face and she’s leading the charge to help educate us and show us that marketing can be used as a force for good as well as bad.

In this show, Rachel walks us through her journey to enlightenment and explains how the powerful lobbyists for the meat industry and the fossil fuel industry have hijacked the narrative to benefit their bottom line.

The answer is actually very simple and all it needs is a common-sense, bullshit-free perspective. Rachel is pretty much the ambassador for common sense and straight-talking, so watch out for some hard truths and uncomfortable facts.

Being disruptive is destructive and it comes with its own challenges. Rachel’s job as Chief Brand Officer at The Production Board, a unique venture foundry created by Dave Friedberg focused on businesses that reverse global warming and improve human health stands at the vanguard of the green tech movement.

In this show Rachel also outlines the 3 leading factors for successful plant-based food marketing and why having a moral righteousness is critical if companies want to avoid greenwashing claims. She also spills the beans on Elon Musk’s work ethic and provides the perfect response to anyone who tells her to calm down.

Mark Stringer is the Chair of creative agency PrettyGreen – an award-winning Creative Communications agency that works for clients such as Snap, Nando’s, Pantene, Hasbro, Audible to name a few. Mark is also the Co-Founder & CMO of Skoot – a climate platform to help businesses and communities remove their carbon footprint.

Bringing all his considerable entertainment marketing skills to bear, Mark is helping Skoot change the way that companies approach their everyday tasks through the power of gamification mixed with environmental responsibility.

It’s a powerful mixture.

In this show, Mark walks us through his early years of marketing for Disney and its video arm Buena Vista. We find surprising common ground in the world of video marketing and realize that our paths could easily have crossed back in the last 90s.

We discuss his love/hate relationship with award wins, how he narrowly lost out to Elon Musk, his career in 20 words, how new business can help solve global warming, great and inspiring green initiatives and balancing consumption against carbon reduction. Phew!

PLUS! Jeremy Davies is back to get a refund on his Pitch Theater tickets.
