Bank & Credit Union Card Execs - New Card Activation 90-Day Tactics

Hey bank and credit union card execs 👋 If your bank or credit union is getting new credit cards activated and used in the first 90 days, I’d like to hear how you’re doing it. I'm working on a piece for The Financial Brand on the activation window, when cardmember habits are set. Too many new cards end up sitting in a drawer after approval, and the first few months decide whether a card becomes the one someone reaches for first. I'm looking at welcome offers, digital wallet prompts, and outreach in the first few weeks, plus how teams measure early engagement before a card goes dormant. If you work on card activation or portfolio marketing at a bank or credit union, I would like to hear from you. Send me a DM this week if you are open to sharing what your team does in the first 90 days.

Workplace Bullying Survivors - Public Humiliation & Toxic Leadership

I went out for brunch today. I left with a masterclass in toxic leadership. Beautiful venue. Strong reputation. Instagram - worthy branding. And an absolutely shocking reality behind the scenes. Today, I witnessed a manager publicly humiliating and intimidating a female employee in front of customers. A customer complained about a delayed order. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the manager started blaming the employee, sharing personal allegations about her behaviour and even claiming he had deliberately delayed an order to punish her. He then confronted her in the middle of the restaurant, in front of everyone. The irony? She was the ONLY employee who genuinely seemed to care about the customers and made an effort to communicate with us. As someone who has seen the world, with an MBA from Les Roches, and 3 degrees in total, with international expereince across luxury hospitality, commercial and technology environments, I find this behavious unacceptable. And as someone who has personally experienced workplace mobbing (not once), pychological and emotional abuse, this hit particularly close to home. Let's get something straight: → Feedback belongs behind closed doors, NOT in front of 30 customers. → Customer service recovery requires professionalism, NOT public humiliation. → Leadership is about accountability, NOT intimidation. → Employee experience IS customer experience. You can invest millions in branding, marketing and beautiful interiors. But how you treat your employees reveals the REAL culture behind your business. Today reinforced a long-term ambition of mine: combining international business, coaching, somatic approaches and advocacy to eventually build something bigger than myself: an educational and healing platform, a media company talking about the TRUTH. Potentially an institute dedicated to protecting human dignity and addressing workplace abuse, particularly against women. Because nobody should have to sacrifice their mental health, dignity or livelihood just to earn a living. And now I want to hear from YOU. Have you ever experienced workplace mobbing, public humiliation, psychological abuse or intimidation by someone in a position of power? Did anyone protect you? Or were you left to fight for yourself? I'm looking to connect with people willing to share their experiences and participate in interviews as I explore how to turn awareness into meaningful change. My inbox is open. Your story matters. And to every leader reading this: Your job is to lead people. Not to break them. #ToxicLeadership #WorkplaceBullying #HospitalityLeadership #EmployeeExperience #WomenAtWork #Leadership

Marketing Communications Professionals 7+ Years - Onboarding Series

Over a year ago, a group of friends and colleagues came together to build what we now know as the97thstreet, a community for young Gen Z professionals and aspiring professionals in marketing communications. In the past year, we've grown into a little corner of the internet where we share conversations about the marketing industry, job opportunities, interesting campaigns, articles worth reading, brands doing exciting things and, well, brands that could probably do better. 😂 To celebrate our first anniversary, we wanted to do something a little different. Beyond sharing what's happening in the industry, we wanted to start telling the stories of the people who are actually making things happen in it. And that's how Onboarding by the97thStreet was born. The idea is simple: to give young and aspiring marketing communications professionals a closer look at what it takes to build a career in the industry, through honest conversations with people who have been doing the work. We want to show them the possibilities, the unexpected turns, the difficult decisions and everything in between. Hopefully, these conversations will help someone feel a little less alone as they figure out their own career journey. Last Friday, we published our first edition, featuring Fikayo Jegede. Fikayo got into marketing by accident. She initially wanted to become an OAP, but her career eventually took her in a different direction. Today, she's doing remarkable work in the industry and has even authored a book, 'Feex Your Marketing'. I particularly enjoyed this conversation because it reminded me of something many of us who studied Mass Communication eventually discover: our career journeys don't always follow the paths we imagined when we were in school. And that's perfectly fine. On a personal note, Onboarding is a project I'm particularly excited about because it allows me do two things I genuinely enjoy: journalism and my work in marketing communications. It gives me the opportunity to keep interviewing people, asking questions and telling stories while learning more about an industry I'm actively building my career in. In many ways, it's a meeting point for several of my interests and aspirations. Our first edition is out, and the second is coming next week. 🥳 I'll drop the link to the first interview in the comments. Please read it and let us know what you think! Also, I'm looking to speak with marketing communications professionals who have spent at least seven years in the industry. If that's you, or you know someone whose career journey would make for an interesting conversation, please indicate in the comments or tag them below. I'd love to get in touch. Here's to more stories, more conversations and more people finding their way in marketing communications! #ShowUp #WorkHard #Repeat

Just this week, the pitches include: - a THC and hemp product company, wants to talk about how hemp makes a great brand collab in pickleball tournaments (what?!) - a personal injury law expert - a pitch addressed to [Name Here] - guess they were too busy to know my name - a pitch on scaling with no verifiable details, website or social media links and no contact info. Just weird. Your pitch should include: 1. How You can serve their listeners - 2. What specifically you can share - at least 2 ideas of information, method, resource, inspiration - and how that relates to what their listeners want or need 3. A recommended "Title" of the 2 ideas above 4. Details that are verifiable... website, social links, 5. Details of how you will promote the podcast - your email, newsletter, social connections / followers, website My criteria: Be in service to my listeners -- who want practical tips and strategies to build their visibility, establish and grow their brand, write the right book, manage their successful book launch, position themselves, become a paid speaker, expand their opportunities, build their business or make a career pivot.

If you need more help pitching podcasts, the fine folks at PodMatch and Alex Sanfilippo are your first step.

Portable Restroom, Septic & Vac Truck Operators - Sanitation Stories

Hi my name is Arthur and I have a confession: I’ve inspected some pretty rad sewers in my life. Nothing builds humility and character quite like doing jobs that just gotta get done. It takes a brave few, and if you know, you know. I wanted to hear the stories of the hardworking operators out there that keep our world clean. The portable restroom operators, the septic operators, the vac truck operators, the people focused on bringing dignified sanitation to the world. I had a mic, a webcam, and a LinkedIn account, and with that, The Backbone podcast was born (start humble, stay hungry). Almost 1 year and 45 episodes later, the people I've met on this journey keep blowing me away. The scrappy, fearless entrepreneurs, the problem solvers, the misfits who blazed their own trail, the people who hustle evenings and weekends to support their families and build their dreams. These people make things happen. People who aren’t afraid of other people’s judgement, and show up because there’s a job that just needs to get done. My kind of people. If you don’t know me yet (hi!), here’s the quick origin story: My first co-op job as a naive, bright-eyed Guelph engineering student in 2009 was inspecting sewers in the Waterloo / Guelph area in Canada. There were concerns of too much rain water infiltrating through cracks and broken pipes, and it was our job to find where (talk about a needle in a haystack…). After graduating in 2012 I moved abroad and spent 2 years in Manchester in the UK, building computer models of their sewer systems to identify flood concerns and where pipes needed to be resized for increased demand. In 2014 returned back to my hometown of Toronto and worked on an extensive basement flooding remediation project. It was a wild experience working in neighbourhoods I grew up in and knowing I was helping to solve recurring flooding problems in my community. I kinda felt like Batman, but for the sewers (or does that make me a ninja turtle??). Around 2017 it was time for a change. I packed my bags and went travelling around the world to do some soul searching. 10-day silent meditation retreats, dog sitting, and several career changes later, from running a digital marketing agency to being a hypnotherapist (yeah that happened), my day job now is developing software to help businesses automate workflows and build systems that connect the dots and keep teams organized. In evenings & weekends I’m a podcast host, talking to sanitation operators about the grit and resilience it takes to run a business in this industry. It’s been a wild ride. If you’re a portable restroom or septic operator and you’ve got stories to share and life experience from the trenches, reach out, I want to hear your story. Best, Arthur

Founders Selling to Nurses - Nurse Adoption & Clinical AI

🚀 Headed to HLTH in Las Vegas, Nov 15–18, with a media pass on behalf of Nurse.org! 🩺 My beat for the week is nursing (of course, I have the best beat ever!) Specifically, what it looks like to build *with* and *for* nurses, the nurse founders who are changing the healthcare industry, and what successful clinical AI implementation looks like. 🎉 I'll also be competing at the Nurse Hackathon Tuesday morning, and you can find me hanging around the Nurse Innovators Pavilion on the show floor. ☕ Aaaand I'm holding a handful of coffee chat slots for founders and marketing leads working on nurse adoption or who want their story told to nurses, by a nurse. If your team sells to nurses or clinicians, and getting them to use what you've built is the hard part, I want to hear what you're seeing. I'm writing about this all month. I'm in the HLTH app directory, or DMs are open here too! #HLTH #healthcareconference #healthcareAI #digitalhealth #nursesoflinkedin #nurseentrepreneur #hackathon #nursehackathon

Global & European Marketing Leaders - Investment & Ops Challenges

I'm heading to #WebSummit in Lisbon next week, and I'm especially looking to meet: → Global and European marketing leaders willing to talk transparently about investment decisions and operational challenges. → Chief digital, product and media officers working in concert or tension with marketing. → European agencies challenging established approaches to pricing, structure and creative production. → AI companies changing how people discover, create and consume, particularly those exploring advertising as a business model. → Media companies experimenting with new business models and audience relationships. I have the rare and extraordinarily exciting opportunity to build the programme from scratch for the inaugural #POSSIBLEEurope, and I'm especially interested in looking beyond the usual conference circuit for people and ideas that haven't had their main-stage moment yet. I'm not looking for polished pitches. I want to hear about the tensions you're wrestling with, the experiments that are working (or aren't), and the conversations happening behind closed doors that deserve to be brought into the open. If you'll be in Lisbon next week, slide into my DMs 📨

Science Communicators - Environment Health Technology Projects

This time last month, I started a new adventure by becoming a student again and embarking on an MSc in Science Media Production at Imperial College London 👩🔬🧬📺🧪 Crazily it's now been 10 years since I began my undergraduate degree in Diagnostic Radiography at University of Portsmouth 😨 The last decade has been anything but straightforward. It's included qualifying and beginning my career as a radiographer at a major trauma centre during the COVID-19 pandemic (Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust), as well as periods of ill health & new diagnoses for myself. Eventually I medically imaged patients across four wonderful London hospitals, including Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust and Cleveland Clinic London 🩻😷 Along the way, I also explored careers outside of radiography, from a marketing internship at ABTA via the Leonard Cheshire Change 100 programme, to leading volunteers with Oxfam at festivals and in Greenpeace environmental campaigns. Most recently I've been working on engagement and events at Islington Council as part of Evidence Islington, which is funded by NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) and focused on improving outcomes related to wider determinants of health. I’ve sometimes worried my career path looks unusual, but I have so many passions and every role has taught me new skills, adapted me to different work environments and allowed me to meet many types of amazing people. In the 1st month of this course, I've done such varied things, from writing an essay about science philosophy to producing a science radio show, so I'm excited to see where the rest of the year and beyond leads. Alongside the MSc, I've also started two new roles: 📰 Deputy News Editor for I, Science Magazine 🤝 Outreach Coordinator for the Science Communication Society To colleagues and collaborators, past and present: thank you for the support ❤️ If you're working on an interesting science related project (particularly related to the environment, technology or health) and want to connect with science communicators, or would like to be featured in an article, radio/video interview, or event, I'd love to hear from you 😊 #ScienceCommunication #ScienceMedia #ImperialCollegeLondon #PublicHealth #Healthcare #Technology #Environment #Masters #PublicEngagement #NewAdventure

Indie Game Developers & Creators - Visibility & Discovery

🎮 The gaming industry doesn’t have a talent problem. It has a VISIBILITY problem. 👀 Somewhere right now, an independent developer is building an incredible game that the world hasn’t discovered yet. Somewhere, a small studio is creating something extraordinary without a massive marketing budget. Somewhere, a gaming creator has a story worth telling, but hasn’t found the right audience. What if being discovered didn’t depend on how big your budget was, how many followers you had, or who you already knew? That’s the question we’re asking at Jams and Joysticks. And we’re working on something to help answer it. 🚀 🎮 Introducing the vision behind the Jams and Joysticks Gaming Discovery Platform! We’re expanding our mission beyond the podcast to build a space where the people, projects, and ideas shaping gaming can be discovered, explored, and connected. Imagine a place where you can: 🔎 Discover independent game developers and studios. 🕹️ Explore games and the creative minds behind them. 🎙️ Find interviews that tell the stories behind the projects. 🌍 Connect with gaming creators, innovators, and industry professionals. 💡 Give overlooked talent another opportunity to be seen. And we’re just getting started. BUT HERE’S THE PART THAT MATTERS MOST. We don’t want to build this platform by guessing what the gaming community needs. We want to build it WITH the community. 🔥 We’re looking for: 🎮 Indie game developers and studios 🕹️ Game creators with projects worth discovering 🎥 Gaming content creators and streamers 🎓 HBCU esports programs and gaming organizations 💡 Gaming entrepreneurs and industry innovators 🤝 People and organizations committed to creating more opportunities in gaming Whether you’re an established studio or a solo developer working on your first game, we want to hear your story. You don’t need millions of followers to have something worth sharing. You just need something worth discovering. 👇 LET’S START THE CONVERSATION. Comment “DISCOVER ME” or tell us about your game, studio, project, or work in gaming. You can also send us a DM if you’d like to learn more about being considered for a feature. Know a developer or creator who deserves more visibility? Tag them below. Let’s help more people find the talent that’s already out there. At Jams and Joysticks, we believe gaming is bigger than the games we play. It’s about the people who create them, the communities they build, and the opportunities we create for one another. The next great game might already exist. The next great creator might already be building. Let’s make them easier to find. 🎮🚀 #JamsAndJoysticks #GameDevelopment #IndieGames #GamingCommunity #GameDev #GamingIndustry #IndieGameDev

CMOs & Heads of Marketing & SaaS Leaders - Strategy & Bullshit

CMOs, Heads of Marketing, and people who are tired of sitting through meetings where everyone says “strategy” but nobody says anything useful… I’m bringing my podcast back. I’ve done this before, but this time, I’m building it around a subject we genuinely love: The Strategy & The Bullshit. The stuff that actually moves marketing forward. The nonsense we’ve collectively agreed to tolerate. The decisions behind the campaigns, the mistakes nobody puts in the case study, and the marketing advice that deserves a hard side-eye. I want conversations with people who are doing the work, questioning the playbook, and willing to talk about what really happens behind the scenes. If you’re a CMO, Head of Marketing, or SaaS leader with opinions, stories, and a healthy intolerance for bullshit, I want you on the show. Good conversations. Honest opinions. Zero guru theatre.

Retail Business Owners - Cost Cuts That Hurt Profitability

Cutting Costs Doesn’t Always Improve Your Bottom Line. Sometimes It Can Hurt It. One of my biggest takeaways from my recent conversation with Mark Cardone, Retail Real Estate on The Bottom Line_powered by Integrity Cost Consulting was that business owners need to think carefully about the difference between reducing expenses and improving profitability. Mark, founder of Rooftop Realty, joined me for a return appearance to share his perspective on commercial real estate, business growth, and the decisions that can make or break a business. A few things from our conversation really stuck with me. The cheapest location isn’t necessarily the most profitable. Mark discussed the importance of customer demographics, convenience, and neighboring businesses. Paying more for the right location can generate substantially more revenue than choosing a less expensive alternative. Not all cost reductions are good decisions. Mark shared how shopping malls eliminated amenities to reduce operating expenses, only to potentially diminish the customer experience that attracted visitors in the first place. Your lease deserves more attention than you might think. Annual rent increases, maintenance responsibilities, and building operating expenses can quietly erode profitability when business owners don’t fully understand or regularly review their agreements. Your neighboring businesses may be an untapped opportunity. Sometimes the best growth strategy isn’t spending more on marketing. It’s finding ways to collaborate with businesses that already attract the customers you want to reach. That second point particularly resonated with me. At Integrity Cost Consulting, we spend a lot of time helping businesses identify unnecessary expenses and improve profitability. However, I’ve always believed the objective shouldn’t be to spend less. It should be to spend smarter. There’s a big difference between eliminating waste and eliminating value. A business can negotiate a lower rent, reduce services, or cut operating expenses and still end up in a worse financial position if those decisions negatively impact revenue or the customer experience. My biggest takeaway? Don’t evaluate expenses in isolation. Understand the value they create and how they contribute to your overall profitability. Mark brought some great real-world examples, practical advice, and plenty of personality to our conversation. And one more thing… Who am I missing? One of the things I enjoy most about hosting The Bottom Line is learning from business leaders with different experiences, perspectives, and stories worth sharing. I’m always looking to connect with interesting CFOs, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and business leaders across industries. Who would you like to hear from on a future episode? Tag them below, introduce us, or send me a message. I’d genuinely appreciate your suggestions! #TheBottomLine #BusinessGrowth #Profitability #Leadership #CommercialRealEstate

B2B Marketers Who Cut LinkedIn Ads - Measured Impact Over Time

Have we become so accustomed to including LinkedIn in B2B media plans that we've stopped questioning whether it actually needs to be there? We're exploring a research report for 2027, and I'm looking to speak to B2B marketers who've deliberately removed or significantly reduced their LinkedIn advertising investment and measured the impact over a meaningful period of time. It's something I've been questioning, particularly following conversations with marketing teams across different sectors. I wonder whether the platform's targeting capabilities and perceived audience size have made it almost a default choice in B2B advertising. But just because thousands of profiles match our targeting criteria, how many of those people are actually active? And how differently do professional audiences use the platform? A campaign can deliver great results among the people it reaches while potentially missing a substantial proportion of its intended audience. And with budgets under increasing scrutiny, how often are we genuinely testing the incremental impact of our media investment, rather than relying on attributed results alone? I'm particularly interested in marketers who've challenged years of always-on investment. What happened when you reduced or removed it? Did pipeline suffer? Did demand continue elsewhere? Did the findings change future budget decisions, or reinforce the value of keeping LinkedIn in the mix? To be clear, this is about paid advertising, not LinkedIn's wider role in organic marketing, networking or sales. Nor is it about proving one channel is better than another. It's about questioning some of the assumptions behind our media investment decisions, particularly as audience behaviour continues to evolve. If you've tested this, I'd genuinely love to hear what you found, whatever the outcome!

Influencer Marketing Leads & Talent Managers - Brand Exclusivity

I am looking to speak with influencer marketing leads at brands, CMOs, talent managers and influencer marketing agencies who have firsthand experience negotiating these contracts.

Sports Industry Pros - Women's Sport Revenue Gap

A quick update following on from my last post about The Commercial Dept., the platform I started on the side. Our latest post is out: "Women's sport is booming. So why is the gap still huge?" We look at the records being broken, the athletes and brands changing the game, and the numbers that show how far there still is to go. Women's elite sport is set to pass $3bn in revenue for the first time this year, but that's still only about a third of what the Premier League makes on its own. We also set out what needs to happen to close the gap. Why did I start it? I've always loved the business side of sport. I wanted somewhere to break that down in a simple, honest way, and to shine a light on the people who make it happen. It's a passion project I'm building alongside my career. That's why I launched Inside the Dept., our feature series with people working across the industry. We've got some great people lined up to be featured soon, from all levels and all corners of sport, because every story matters, not just the ones at the top. If you work in sport, whether in partnerships, marketing, retail, wholesale, brand or anything in between, I'd love to hear from you. Whether you'd like to be featured, have an idea for a topic, or just want to chat, please drop me a message. Thank you to everyone who has supported it so far. Plenty more to come. 🙌 #SportsBusiness #Partnerships #SportsMarketing

Small Business Owners in India - Lost Deals From Unclear Websites

The message came in at 9.40 on a Tuesday night. Four words and a full stop. "Sir, they went ahead." ₹6.2 lakh. Three calls, a scoped proposal, a demo of software we already run in production. Lost to a company whose product I know is worse than ours. I said thank you, wished them well, closed the laptop. Then I sat in the dark for forty minutes going over every call in my head looking for the sentence where I lost it. There was no sentence. The next morning I opened the winner's website properly for the first time, with a notebook, not to admire it. Nine minutes. Their site answered the three questions a buyer asks before they trust anybody. Ours answered them on page four. That was the whole difference. Not the product. Not the price. The reading order. Here is the part that took me years to accept: your buyer cannot judge your work. A patient cannot judge a surgeon from the waiting room. So they judge what they can judge, and all of it is on your website. 1. Can I tell in five seconds what you do and who for 2. Is there proof a real person got a real result 3. Can I reach a human without a form that asks my budget A worse business with a clearer website wins almost every time, and it wins quietly, without you ever finding out why. So I wrote down the teardown I have run about sixty times for clients. Twenty minutes, free tools, no account anywhere: → The five-second test on your phone, both sites → The three questions, counted in screens → pagespeed.web.dev on mobile, reading LCP and CLS, not the score everyone argues about → A site: search, which prints a rival's whole keyword strategy in public for free → Trust signals counted, not sensed → Taps from homepage to a filled enquiry, theirs against yours Then a 24-point scorecard you fill in for both sites, and you act on the three lines where they beat you by two. Not all 24. Three. Free fixes first, because they move enquiries most: your first screen, a phone number on every page, a WhatsApp link, asking every customer for a Google review, replying the same working day. The article has the scorecard to paste into a notes app, the rupee cost of each fix, and the written message to send your developer. That last one matters: most teardowns die on a phone call where the developer says "yes yes, we will see" and nothing was written down. Save this one. You will want it the next time you lose one you should have won. And the real question, which is why I published the embarrassing part: have you ever lost work you were certain of and only found out why months later? What did it turn out to be? Tell me below. I read every one and the good ones go into the article with your name on them. If you would rather not say it in public, message me. Send me your site and your competitor's and I will run the same 24 points on both and send you the filled sheet. No charge. #smallbusiness #marketing #india #entrepreneurship
