MMS Unplugged

Our weekly e-newsletter Momentum turns 300 this week so, to celebrate, two of the grizzled old copywriters who helped create it take a stroll down memory lane to reflect on the pedigree of this publication which is almost more MMS than MMS itself.

Chief Information Officer Jaime Vogel recently said that he joined MMS at a pivotal time – technology is moving so fast that complex change is becoming the norm. Jaime's deep experience in this space sets us up for this next chapter, and we're delighted to welcome him to the podcast to discuss this critical reality of doing business in 2026.

As we celebrate NAIDOC Week 2026, Tracey Capper sits down with Donna McLaren and Adam Henderson to reflect on the theme 50 Years of Deadly, share their personal connections to reconciliation, and discuss what's next as MMS embarks on the next chapter of its Reconciliation Action Plan journey.

What happens when you combine the affability of a Relationship Associate with the easy-going charm of a Tasmanian? Pretty much the perfect podcast! Simone Williams embodies both these critical traits and it was a unique pleasure to host her on Unplugged this week.

Something that is often taken for granted in the workplace is how the heck we all got here! Behind each employee there is a recruitment story and behind every one of those there's a recruiter. Dani Jones is one of only four in-house talent partners at MMS and brings revealing insight to one of the silent always-on processes without which no business could exist.  

What happens when two marketing guys sit down together? They quickly move beyond work and start discussing what makes a great brand and discover sometimes, it's a great BAND. This energetic and at times hilarious conversation sits right in the sweet spot between business and pleasure.

Rashmi Nayak is not only the face of Everyone Matters at MMS, having won the Hero Award in 2025, but a TWO-TIME Hero Award winner, scooping up one of the 2022 Victoria gongs as well! Join us for a lively discussion with the irrepressible Rashmi.  

Rachel chats with one of MMS's most dynamic duos, Sydney colleagues Sandi Sims and Al Blackman, showcasing the incredible team spirit in Chatswood. We enjoyed this conversation so much we think Sandi and Al should host their own podcast! 

We've never had a lawyer on the show before [insert lawyer joke] but Senior Legal Counsel and 2025 Hero Award winner Matt Twomey makes up for that in 30 minutes of truly fun and fascinating banter proving that legal can laugh with the best of 'em.  

Our wonderful Maxxia clients at Olivia Newton John Cancer Research Institute are making a real difference to people's lives by making cancer treatments more effective, tolerable and accessible and we're delighted to welcome Dr Christine De Nardo and Philippa Bosquet to talk about cancer and how you can help their crucial work through the Imagine Appeal.
