In episode 7 of Brands Unbridled, we had the opportunity to speak with Peter Sloterdyk, Global Chief Marketing & Technology Officer for the Australian-based, customer-focused furniture company Koala. Peter’s storied career has taken him from the agency world to leading global marketing efforts for the likes of Grindr and Netflix.

During our conversation we had the opportunity to hear his thoughts on purposeful and authentic representation in marketing and communication campaigns and how global brands need to avoid cultural imperialism as they expand into non-Westernized areas of the world. So, sit back, relax, and let’s celebrate Pride Month with a fun-filled and informative episode of Brands Unbridled!

In this sixth episode of Brands Unbridled, Storyhorse’s DIrector of Strategy & Creative sits down with Clive Sirkin, whose many hats include former CMO of Kimberly Clark, former Chief Growth Officer of Kellogg’s, former Group Managing Director for Leo Burnett, and current brand board member and growth advisor. We cover Clive’s career trajectory and his take on agency- and brand-side marketing, the power of a promise, the symbolism of a plunger, and why he banned the term “digital marketing.” Tune in to hear this industry vet’s advice on how to get brands unstuck, divorce sacred cows and recruit brand believers...not hostages. We hope you enjoy Clive’s fresh (and hot) take – we did!

Brands Unbridled’s fifth episode is a fun chat with Andrea Schwenk, VP of Marketing for Egglife Foods, the fun and playful brand behind their flagship product, egglife wraps - a protein-rich and low-carb alternative to flour tortillas. Tune in for more on their approach to user-generated content and how they grew the brand from a one-woman kitchen operation to a commercialized line of products in just two short years (you might even pick up a recipe idea or two!).

In Brands Unbridled’s latest episode, Storyhorse Director of Accounts and Development Brian Donahoe had the opportunity to speak with Mia Saini Duchnowski, founder and Executive Board member of Oars + Alps, the affordable, natural, premium men’s skincare brand that’s becoming a household staple around the country.

Learn how she was able to grow Oars + Alps from an e-commerce startup to a tried-and-true brand and how Mia’s mantra of "keep goingggggg" (to paraphrase Dory) can help you navigate the ups and downs of building a successful brand. So take to the oars, sit back and enjoy our latest episode with the effervescent and engaging, Mia Saini Duchnowski!

In Brands Unbridled’s newest episode, Storyhorse VP, Managing Director Hunter Haas chats with Nathan Savory, Global Team Lead at TikTok, the social media platform that shot to stardom in 2020 by giving users the ability to step outside of their bubbles and connect - all while battling the President and a pandemic. We’ll talk through how TikTok For Business has created a space where brands can unleash their creative side through a fully immersive (sound on!), no-judgement world where users are rapidly sharing content and creating an audience for every voice. Ready to be inspired and start searching for the latest hashtag trend? Or just laugh at our TikTok interpretation of a 10k? Listen in!

In Brands Unbridled’s latest episode, Storyhorse Director of Strategy and Creative Sarah Spliethoff sits down (virtually) with Zach Goldstein, Founder and CEO of Public Rec, the athleisure brand known for everywhere-wear that's comfortable yet tailored. Learn about how he was able to carve out market share with a differentiated product, how they began with a little help from Kickstarter, their expansion with major retailers like Nordstrom and a new womenswear line, and how an epic Uber XL ride “delivered” pants….and this founder’s secret sauce: humility.

Put your joggers on, get comfortable and listen in for more.

In Brands Unbridled’s premiere episode, Storyhorse Director of Production and Partnerships Liza Nikitas sits down with Molson Coors Director of Brand PR Kirby Nardo. What follows is an insightful conversation about staying relevant during COVID-19, the company’s latest power play in the seltzer wars, their laser-focus on innovation, and how a 93-year old woman named Olive became their unofficial brand ambassador in the midst of the pandemic — and not an “unprecedented” was uttered!
