TBH she's fast becoming a Reels queen too but today we're sticking to the mammoth which is Pinterest

I was introduced to Rachel by Alice Benham to go on her podcast to talk about wedding trends a couple of years ago and we hit it off straight away with a shared love of cats, design & living the life of a grandma

Rachel is a stylist turned strategist and helps creatives blend visuals and sales, specialising in Pinterest training & creating beautiful, visual things for talented, creative people.

Rachel says that when she properly harnessed the power of Pinterest, it totally transformed her business & it now drives more than half of her website sales.

In this episode we discuss :

• Rachels's career background in styling & the transition into Pinterest business strategy

• What's new on Pinterest & how that affects the way you should be using it

• What's trending currently on Pinterest for the first quarter of 2021 - clue : picnics are big news

My guest this week is the brains (& beauty!) behind Hunsnet, Gareth Howells!

For anyone who doesn't know Hunsnet started off as a meme page back in 2017 because he wanted to build a community of good time guys and girls who had a shared interest in Hun Culture.

Through social media, community and live events they celebrate your journey as a tacky teenager who didn't fit in to fun-loving, meme addicts who want to meet other like minded legendary huns. They're obsessed with all things popular culture, celebrity nostalgia & generally laughing through the irony of every day life.

In this episode we discuss :

• How Hunsnet was created

• The point in which Gareth knew he was onto something major

• The secret to creating a cult brand that makes people feel a part of something

• What makes a meme so shareable

• Plus tonnes of noughties X-factor chat ;)

This week we have 2 guests for the price of one with Georgie & Emily! Together they founded A Virtual Vintage Market, an online fashion platform that champions vintage and sustainable fashion.

Georgie is the owner of Margate vintage shop Peony Vintage and a freelance stylist; Emily owns vintage & own label brand Medley Vintage and used to work in Fine Art & Interiors.

They launched AVVM in April 2020 with the simple intention of helping fellow vintage traders during lockdown as many had lost access to their physical trading spaces.

Fast forward 9 months - they launched a Reworked Market championing contemporary upcycled fashion brands & an online premium vintage rental agency. They have an online community of almost 22.5k followers, have hosted over 10 markets and worked with over 100 small fashion brands (and counting!)

Their platform has six core values - to promote vintage fashion as part of a modern wardrobe; to make vintage fashion accessible to as many as possible; to help vintage traders grow their online brands; to encourage shopping with small fashion businesses; to cultivate an inclusive online community & to champion vintage fashion as a sustainable choice.

In this episode we discuss :

• Promoting vintage as part of a modern wardrobe

• Encouraging shopping with small fashion businesses

• Making vintage accessible

• Helping vintage sellers grow their online brands via Instagram

• Championing vintage as a sustainable choice

• Plus how Netflix has had an impact on the clothes we wear!

oday's guest is Abi Dakin who is the creator and founder of unisex brand Claude & Co! Abi & I first met years ago when I was her supplier at Next and we instantly hit it off so I was really excited when I saw her take the leap to start her own business.

It's produced in a beautiful factory in Portugal with the highest quality fabrics and the best attention to detail.

Her background working as a buyer often left her feeling there was a big gap in what was offered for children. Unisex "newborn" clothing being white, or neutral is great - but not knowing the gender of your baby shouldn't mean you have to stick to monochrome and "expected" outfits.

In this episode we discuss :

• How buying helped Abi prepare for entrepreneurship

• What a career in fashion buying looks like & the turning point to make her leave

• How it feels to run a kids brand without having children

• A behind the scenes look at trade shows around the world

• The importance of having good supplier relationships to build your brand
