Channel Mum is a UK based community of Mummy creators – co-founded by Niki Herring – and has been around over 7-years when there were just a few Mummy bloggers around and particularly on YouTube. So this was a revolution that started. Mums wanted advice and support. Are Mums better communicators – are they better at sharing deeper emotional stories that resonate with audiences? Niki has a huge amount of knowledge about her subject. She also talks about how to approach creators – know who your talking to and do your research. Find out what Niki has to say.

Amy Rowlinson is the host of the successful podcast called ‘Focus on Why’, but it wasn’t the first one Amy hosted. She used to run a property podcast but then at the beginning of lockdown her business partner suggested they stop it. As it happens it was the best thing she did, because Amy had been talking a lot about purpose within business so this transition was a natural one. Amy speaks at all sorts of events on her key subject and is an active member of the Professional Speakers Association. She is also an active volunteer from the Olympic Games to cricket and has won an OSCAs award presented to her by Michael Vaughan at Lords Cricket for her services to Cricket. Her influence was also apparent with a tragic accident that affected her son, having to have emergency brain surgery within hours of playing a game of rugby. A very personal post that followed she put on LinkedIn has attracted over 150,000 views. Amy says what I have seen from that is the power of sharing a message. Listen in to this heart-warming interview.

Ismael El-Qudsi is the founder and CEO of Influencer marketing platform Social Publi. Like many PR agencies in the early days of influencer marketing they realised having huge excel files kept updated with influencer data was a huge challenge. In addition to that Ismael says not everyone has a PayPal account. Social Publi works in 35 countries and many of the campaigns running are between 50-200 influencers at the same time so having a proper management tool is essential. Social Publi have over 300,000 influencers signed up to their platform and therefore the data is being driven by the recipients. Ismael shares more of his insights on this great podcast.

David Morneau is the CEO of US based Inbeat agency – specialising in micro-influencers. Micro-influencers can create great value for your investment, they often don’t have agents. The brand fit with the influencer relationship is so important. David talks about how to budget for campaigns. Could you run a pilot to see how they engage with perhaps a free product. Understanding how to create an effective ROI is still a challenge for some. Phoneloops is a brand who have 1,000 ambassadors in place, they can ‘ship’ them because it’s a low cost product. It would be different if it was a higher value product.

How does a global event organiser and speaker management service run events in a challenging 18 month period? Gautam Ganglani ran 100 webinars last year just to stay connected to his global audience and to build value with no commercial return he says. Traditionally he represented authors and not all of these make great online speakers so it was a big learning experience. The skill set required for trainers is very different for speakers with 1,000 people. Gautam talks about some amazing events he managed with Stephen Covey. Diversity and inclusion have been major topics. Technology, strategy, gaining trust and anything in the communication space. Strategy in particular has been a major topic, hear more from Gautam in this enlightening episode. Thought leaders are providing content online. One of the best examples is Marshall Goldsmith where he provided all of his slides that can be copied and shared. He was the highest paid and most booked speaker by Right Selection.

Fashion and fitness content creator Rowan Row shares his story from when he came over from Romania not being able to speak the language but now works with global brands like Sony and Aston Martin. Rowan even had his Instagram account hacked and nearly lost everything, yet he has been resilient, consistent and smart with the way in which he has grown his brand into a full time career. Now he has over 1.4m followers on Instagram and a further 1.5m on YouTube. Moving to other platforms like Tiktok would require even more time he says. He has lots of advice for people starting out and for those developing content. Check out his content on Instagram @rowanrow
