We've all seen brands seemingly come out of nowhere and suddenly are everywhere. One such example is Peloton. Today, James and Nick sit down to discuss Peloton and, specifically, their marketing spend for year one. Many businesses start out with grand ideas and this discussion will really show how much money you need to reach this mainstay status. They also discuss the ads they liked this week, bike riding and the continuing adventures of 'Dr Nick'.

We talk about Steven Bartlett a lot on our podcast and today is no different. The day we recorded this episode, it was announced that two ads Bartlett starred in were banned by the ASA for being 'misleading'. James had a lot to say on this topic as an agency owner himself and, with Nick away, Michael joins him to offer a different perspective. We go over what happened, why the ads were banned and what this might mean for the wider marketing world and businesses both big and small. We also talk about some ads we liked this week, Simmer and Tony's Chocolate.
