Episode 12- One Hull of a Christmas!

‘And just like that…’ we’re at the last episode of 2021, which means we’ve had a full year of the Pacecast! Yay!

But, let's not get too sentimental. In this episode, we dive into our favourite marketing moments of the year, discuss whether we think Christmas adverts should get scrapped and we have our very own Big Pace Quiz of the Year. Join us to reflect, laugh and - in Abbi’s case - quite literally spill the tea, as we remember the highs and lows of 2021!

Thank you so much for listening, we wish you a happy and healthy Christmas and we can’t wait for more Pace of Mind in 2022. Please do get in touch and let us know any guests you would like or topics you want us to chat about in the New Year.

Movember, moustaches, and mental health.

We can’t believe it’s taken until our 11th episode to get the men of Pace on the show (it’s taken this long to persuade them, let's be honest!).

It only seems right that for Movember, we pass the mic to the boys for a necessary conversation about men’s mental health. This month, we’re joined by our very own Jon Butterworth (creative director), Dan Kemp (PR and social media executive), and Alex Chapple (designer), for an open and honest conversation about the M-word and what it means to them.

The unwritten first rule of Men’s club is famously, not to talk about it! But, in a post-lockdown world, where the number of men taking their own lives is at an all-time high, it’s time to break the rules.

This month, we’re talking all things sustainable as it’s #RecyclingWeek! We’re joined by Toby McCartney - co-founder and CEO of the plastic road company MacRebur - to find out more about how thinking innovatively can truly change the world.

Toby - along with friends Gordon and Nick - established MacRebur in 2016 to solve two big problems: the waste plastic epidemic and poor quality roads. From their base in Scotland, the team developed a process that incorporates waste plastic into the bitumen used in the construction of roads. This never-before-seen product creates better quality roads with fewer potholes and diverts waste plastic away from landfills, oceans and the environment. It’s a win, win, win!

Now being laid all over the world, MacRebur’s roads are ‘paving the way’ for a more sustainable future. We’re incredibly proud to manage MacRebur’s PR, so if you want to find out more please get in touch!

We’ve made it to June! I know, we don’t know where this year is going either. Now that we’re half way through 2021, we decided it was time to relax, take stock and review some of our highlights from the year in a special ‘Pause with Pace’ episode. We’re covering it all today - botox, inflatable chairs and some of Anita’s guilty pleasures. And if that wasn’t enough, producer Molly has worked her editing magic to include some never-before-heard bloopers in this week’s episode. Enjoy!
