5 Star Founder is a podcast created by Founders for Founders.

I believe everyone you will ever meet, knows something you don't.

Each episode features a founder, from a variety of backgrounds, sectors and entrepreneurial stages.

With whom I hope to learn, celebrate, understand and get a deeper insight into their world.

We will cover everything from what drove our founders to start their company, to what keeps them awake at night. Biggest regret to date, as well as their career highs and lows in their journey so far.

Katy Howell is the founder and CEO of immediate future, the company was started back when it was all about blogs, myspace and things that we have all long forgotten about.

Back then, Facebook was literally just a physical book, Twitter was an ornithologists hobby and ClubHouse used to be called Oceana in Kingston.

Immediate future is one of the UK’s most respected social media agencies. When the team isn't busy winning awards or delivering talks at well respected institutes. They are working with household names and global brands!

The company proudly focuses on not having ninja’s, rockstars or guru’s but a passionate team of serious marketers with expertise in social media!

Anyone in business knows making it past the first year is difficult,  5 years is rare, rarer still are companies who have made it past the decade mark! However Katy’s company is closer to the 20 years mark!

I personally hope to discover what Katy’s secrets to reinvention, relevance and recruitment is!

So it is with great pleasure that I welcome Katy!
