What we learned this episode: saying people don't care about product-focused posts isn't true. What today's guest says, is they don't care by default. Doesn't mean you can't make them. That guest is John Thornton, senior creative at Surreal and ex-SMM & copywriter at Innocent Drinks. Surreal's product posts and ads make people care - as do Innocent's. So in this episode, we're on a mission to find out how the hell John does it. Why do some brands just *get* how to make their product pop, while other brands are in the trenches? Expect to learn where self-awareness trumps 'story', why "soft outrage" often equals success, and how you're probably breaking that promise you made to humanise your brand.
