Mags Creative - podcast company that reaches millions of people - Hannah Russell

Today we’re looking back and exploring some choice highlights from our pilot series with the help of this week’s guest: Hannah Russell. 

Hannah is the co-founder of Mags Creative, one of the UK’s most successful independent podcast producers responsible for some the most exciting shows in the UK with over 350,000 people tuning into their shows each week. 

We discuss how Hannah went from setting up Mags Creative with her sister a few years ago to running a fluid team of full-time staff and freelancers who even have their own Monthly podcast club. 

Through Hannah’s entrepreneurial expertise we re-visit some of the most interesting points from our pilot series:

  • Pip Jamieson, founder of @The Dots, on the emergence of skill swapping and the importance of creativity- both as a skill set and something to foster in the workplace
  • Hayden Wood, founder of @Bulb, on renting talent and hiring experience- and why the creative industry is so good at this
  • Sarah Wood, co-founder of @Unruly, on how founding a business actually improved her work/life balance 
  • Pete Flint, founder of @Trulia and @lastminute.com, on the importance of changing mindset
  • Christian May, former editor of @City AM, and his fantastic insight on how you make your own luck through hard work
  • Our pilot season marked our first foray into the world of podcasts, speaking to some of the most brilliant minds in the UK about the future of work.

    It’s only fitting that this reflection on the first series, as we near the end of our second season, is explored and dissected by a podcast mastermind and one of the most interesting guests I’ve had on this show. 

    Hannah reflects that word of mouth is still king when it comes to growing podcasts, so if you enjoyed this week’s episode, please do follow us on social and share your thoughts:
