This week's interview is with Jonny Plein, founder of Global Savings Group acquisition, Pouch.

Pouch is a browser extension that automatically applies voucher codes at checkout, reducing basket abandonment for brands and finding the best deals for users.

In this interview we discuss:

- Getting in +150 large publications.

- Appearing on Dragon’s Den (that’s the UK's version of Shark Tank).

- Skyrocketing visitor count (40k live visitors) and user conversions (2k to 60k in days) after the show.

- Dealing with churn.

- Reaching product-market fit.

- Creating 'wowing' customer experiences.

- The acquisition of Pouch 18 months ago by GSG.

This is such an exciting interview and the second one we’ve done with Dragon’s Den founders (check out Pasta Evangelists.) They’ve always got an interesting story to tell.

This week on the How the Fxck podcast, we have a true marketing leader: Paula Monteiro.

Paula is Head of Marketing at Wikitude, which has been a leader in the augmented reality (AR) world since 2008.

Working with clients like Jim Bean, Nissan and Herbal Essences, Paula and her teamwork to build value-adding, brand-building experiences using AR.

I was lucky to grill Paula on AR, well, specifically the connection and uses for AR in marketing.

Like most people, I had only a basic understanding of AR from Pokemon Go and Instagram filters.

But, it turns out there's much, much more that you can do to connect with your customers using augmented reality.

We discussed use cases like Nissan letting customers look at the inside of their cars in the showroom, using augmented reality to project the engine and its components to their car-lover customers.

I can see the value that can come from brand storytelling with AR. Perhaps not quite yet, but I soon expect to see a more mainstream addition of AR in the marketing tool kit
