In this episode of Misscheduled, Amy & Jen talking about the thing that creative and marketing people love to talk about but sometimes fear a little — data.

Joined by Thomas Galluzzo, we break down the myths around measurement, tackle common media planning mistakes, and unpack why numbers don’t have to feel intimidating or overly technical.

From overcomplicated tech stacks to the difference between vanity metrics and real performance signals, this is a no-jargon conversation about making data actually work for you — not the other way around.

In this episode of Misscheduled, we’re diving into a word that gets thrown around in every meeting: Strategy. But what does it actually mean in the day-to-day? Spoiler: it’s not just a fancy plan on a slide.

Amy and Jen get real about the moments you realise being technically good at your job isn’t enough, and how a “strategic mindset” shifts when you’re managing one brand versus ten.

We share the questions every junior marketer should ask, the career moves that make you look like a future CMO, and why saying no can be the smartest strategy of all. Plus, the fun stuff—traits we’d steal from each other and the beginner mistakes that make us laugh (and cringe).

Messy, chaotic, honest—and unapologetically real. Tune in.

Ever opened a brief and thought… is this strategy or a scavenger hunt?

In this episode, Amy & Jen are diving into the deceptively simple — and often wildly confusing — world of briefs and PCRs. Because nothing tests your professional sanity quite like a document labeled “clear” that somehow raises more questions than it answers.

We’re unpacking what actually makes a strong brief, why vague direction sends everyone into detective mode, and how PCRs don’t have to be slide-deck filler — they can be your secret weapon for smarter campaigns and sharper conversations.

Expect honest client vs agency truths, relatable war stories, plenty of laughs, and practical tips you’ll actually want to use.

Today we’re tackling something that literally everyone in business pretends they’re good at — building relationships. Yep, those mysterious, magical connections that can make or break your career… or at least get you invited to the really good networking lunches.

We’re talking about the wins, the awkward encounters, and those “wait… they actually did that?!” moments that make professional life equal parts hilarious and horrifying. Whether you’re on the agency side, the client side, or just want to stop lurking at events, this episode is your guide to what actually works, what doesn’t, and the habits that make connections stick.

In this episode of Misscheduled, Amy and Jen dive into one of the most underrated — yet career-defining — skills in the workplace: proactivity.

What does it really mean to take initiative? Is waiting for the brief just “process,” or is it quietly holding you back?

From agency life to client-side realities, Amy and Jen unpack what being proactive actually looks like in practice — the wins, the awkward moments, and yes, a little bit of chaos along the way.

With candid stories, practical tips, and their signature mix of insight and humour, they explore why stepping up before you’re asked isn’t just good teamwork — it’s a powerful way to build trust, credibility, and momentum in your career.

So grab your coffee (or your chaos energy) and tune in — this is your gentle nudge to stop waiting, start acting, and maybe even embrace being a little “too proactive.

Sweaty palms. Shaky voices. Mind going completely blank the second you stand up to present. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you!

In this episode of Misscheduled, Jen and Amy tackle presentation nerves — or as we’re calling it, “My Nerves Are Killing Me.” Whether it’s your very first presentation or you still feel your heart race before every meeting, we’re breaking down why those nerves happen and how to actually manage them.

We’re joined by the brilliant Paws 🐾 — a TEDx speaker, DE&I advocate, self-taught presenter, and global traveller who’s spoken to audiences of thousands before turning 26. She shares what no one tells you about presenting: the shaky starts, the train-wreck moments, and the small mindset shifts that make a big difference.

So take a breath, grab a coffee, and hit play. Your next presentation might not be as scary as you think. 🎙️

The Aussie festive season is here — the sun’s scorching, the snags are sizzling, and the CPMs are absolutely cooked. Amy and Jen unwrap the chaos of Christmas advertising in Australia: why December is so competitive, why costs skyrocket, and how marketers can actually cut through the silly-season noise.

They break down smart planning, the channels that deliver, how to avoid budget blowouts, and how to prove your Christmas campaign really worked. Plus, they pick their favourite Aussie Xmas ads and chat about what makes them land.

If you’re facing your first festive media frenzy or just want to understand why Christmas ads feel like a summer sport, this episode has you covered. Grab a cold one and dive in. 🎄🇦🇺🔥

The AI convo continues! Jen and Amy are back for round two — diving deeper into how AI is changing media, creativity, and the way we work.

From smarter tools to bigger questions about what’s next, they’re cutting through the noise (and the jargon) to figure out where humans still have the edge.

AI’s everywhere — in our feeds, our ads, probably even our coffee orders.

Jen and Amy sit down with Dan O’Connor from StackAdapt to unpack what’s hype, what’s actually helpful, and whether media’s future belongs to humans, machines, or whoever writes the best prompt.

And because we couldn’t fit it all in one episode — keep anear out for part two!

This week, Jen and Amy get real about what it actually means to be flexible — from client curveballs to platform constraints, and how the best ideas are often born right between “go wild” and “please stick to brand guidelines.”

They dive into what freedom really looks like in a world of changing briefs, tight deadlines, and ever-evolving platforms. From creative risks that paid off (and a few that didn’t) to how newbies can flex their ideas without snapping under pressure — it’s all about finding that sweet spot between chaos and control.

If you’ve ever had to sell a wild idea with a straight face, this one’s for you.
