The day this podcast launches - Thursday 20th April 2023 - I'm speaking at Brighton SEO alongside Fabio Embalo (Viaduct Generation) and Azeem Ahmad about equality in marketing. Azeem hosts the Azeem Digital Asks podcast, so we did a joint episode to dive into the subject for a wider audience.

As well as this, he hosts his own digital marketing podcast called "Azeem Digital Asks" which aims to give a platform to women, POC and marginalised communities, and has previously been a judge at many search awards across the globe, including the European and US Search Awards.
