“Telling The Truth Doesn’t Make You Very Popular.” PAUL THOMAS on Radical Candour & Why Honesty and Trust Are The Foundation for Commercial Success’ #17


Listen Later

Paul Thomas’ honesty is an unstoppable force; his truth might make for uncomfortable listening, but it’s the only way he knows.

He’s amassed experience with Asahi, Guinness, Peroni and currently resides with Suntory, and has walked both sides of the client-agency line - so rare is it to hold so many insights within a single human brain…

Paul joins us on You, Me & CPG to break down the power that trust and honesty give you, he dispenses relationship counselling for research consultants struggling with brands, and gets to the root of marketing’s perception problem.

This episode covers

  • The downside to ‘radical candour’
  • Why marketing is described as ‘an industry full of lies and charlatanism’
  • How to make research sexy
  • The worst relationship that researchers can have with a company
  • Being your full, unfiltered self in the corporate world
