Reset, The Podcast

This week I get to talk about one of my favourite things, Christmas ads! with Pete Markey, one of the most established marketeers and one of my oldest friends in the industry. Pete is the Chief Marketing Officer of the beloved British brand, Boots and in our Reset the podcast, conversation, he talks to me about the path that has led him to this role and the learnings, lessons and laughter he has had along the way.

We explore how being Pete's authentic self both in and out of work has shaped who he is as a leader, a father and a husband and discuss the importance that relationships have played throughout his journey. He explains why never standing still and his need for knowledge has been critical to his success as well as  the role both curiosity and more recently, comedy, have played in making him the leader he is today.

Of course I couldn't let Pete go without covering the Boot's Chistmas campaign, 'Bags of Joy,' which has recently aired and the inspiration and insight which sits behind it. We cover Creativity, comedy and Christmas... this is certainly not an episode to be missed.

In this latest Reset Podcast, I turn the tables on two people who have a Podcast of their own. The Places We'll Go Show is hosted by two of the most prominent names in marketing. Mark Evans, the MD of Marketing at Direct Line Group and Ritchie Mehta, the CEO of the School of Marketing. And I was delighted to be able to chat to them both. About their journeys, about their own resets and their view that life is rarely ever a straight line. From Ritchie’s journey to Scotland aged 14 from the hustle and bustle of Mumbai to Mark’s light bulb moment in a curry house in Nottingham. They are resets that will both inspire and make you think. Because that’s what both of my guests this week do best. They make you think about some of life’s most important questions. What is purpose? How are careers really built? And, in Mark’s case, why being made redundant four times has been the catalyst for one of the most interesting careers in marketing. I know you are going to love listening to this.

In this latest Reset the Podcast, Suki talks to Russ Kane, the award-winning writer and broadcaster. Here is a man who defines what reset means. And, during their chat, he shares the personal and the professional resets in his life. From losing his wife to cancer when his twin boys were five years old to why a headline about suicide changed the course of his professional life over the past few years.

Russ has met an extraordinary cast of characters on his journey and you’ll be amazed at who some of them are. His own take on the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune are fascinating to listen to.

Suki and Russ also discuss why anger is often an energy that can be used positively. And perhaps the most moving and profound moment in their time together comes when Russ tells her why it’s not the cards you are dealt, but how you play your hand. A very memorable piece of advice from a remarkable man.

Today Suki (Founder & CEO, Let’s Reset)  talks to Lord Matt Scheckner, CEO of Stillwell Partners. Stillwell is best known as the producer of Advertising Week, the world’s largest advertising / marketing / media industry festival and Matt is the brainchild behind it. Let’s Reset have a partnership with Advertising Week called Power Up, so in this conversation they talk about their journey together and the passion behind this fascinating entrepreneur.

Not unsurprisingly for someone in the communications business, Matt is a natural story teller. From his adoption through to his childhood growing up in Queens to the discovery in his thirties of four full blood siblings, Matt’s life has never been a straight road. And neither has his career, which he describes rather nicely during their conversation as ‘ unplanned’. But, it’s when Matt talks about the power of community that you truly begin to see the man himself. His passionate advocacy for the power of communal experience and his success in building a media and marketing community shine through. And what about his own wellbeing? It’s an everyday job, he tells us. Revealing that he’s as passionate about that aspect of his life as he is the work he does.

Advertising Week New York runs October 19th-21st 2021

Today Suki (Founder & CEO Let’s Reset) talks to Anna Bateson,  a brand expert and CEO at Josh Wood Colour, a fast growing British brand. She is also someone who puts the customer first and last in everything she does. Suki and Anna chat about why the customer is so important and how to build an organisation that is truly customer centric. Anna explains why she believes that trust, transparency and respect are the cornerstones of any business and why, in the end, teams win and individuals rarely do. During their conversation, Anna reveals her secret sauce as a leader. Making sure that organisations focus on how they do things, not just what they do. Because, she says, consumers can smell a mile away companies that say one thing and do the other. It’s a great reminder for all of us.
