The Performance Marketing Podcast

Youth unemployment is at 16.4%, its highest in over a decade, and more than a million 16 to 24 year olds in the UK aren't in work, education or training.

In this episode, Gaby Rollinson is joined by Celine McKeown, founder of Do What Matters and Meaningful Futures, and Louis Perkins, people lead at Seed, to talk about why career pathways aren't working for young people and what each of them is doing about it.

One year on: Meta's Andromeda unpacked!

Louis, Jess and Gelly mark a year since Andromeda's launch with an honest chat about whether it's lived up to the hype.

They separate the model from the myth (an "Andromeda structure" isn't the same thing as Andromeda itself), share what the Liforme test actually showed about Advantage+ versus traditional, and explain why they pulled back around sales periods and payday shifts.

Is AI making us stupid?

That's the question Nick and Nabil got stuck into on this week's episode of The Performance Marketing Podcast.

Cognitive offloading, cognitive surrender, and whether checking your own thinking is becoming a lost habit. 🧠

Nick & Robin kicked off the first ep 💚

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In our final episode of 2025, Seed gathered around the Christmas tree with mince pies, mulled wine, and one by one dropped the questions they’ve always wanted to ask Nick and Robin into a jar. They get their office icks off their chests, discuss Chelsea boots and Sambas a few times, and confess the haircuts they've always wanted to have but never dared.

We're signing off for 2025, see you next year for more silly podcast episodes!

Merry Christmas! 🎄

In this episode, we sit down with Beth and Vic to unpack how they drove 42% more bookings for Giggling Squid, the UK Thai restaurant chain. They talk through the unglamorous but essential groundwork, the hyper-local strategy that saw Beth managing 120 different ad groups, and why infrastructure matters just as much as strategy. If you're interested in what actually drives results in paid social (rather than just the shiny headline figures), this one's for you.

What’s it really like to do a digital marketing apprenticeship, and how different is the experience in-house vs at an agency?

In this episode of The Performance Marketing Podcast, Anna and Scarlet sit down to chat about their apprenticeships from two angles. Anna completed her digital marketing apprenticeship four years ago within an internal marketing department. Scarlet is currently mid-apprenticeship at Seed post Ancient History degree.

If you’re curious about apprenticeships, or hiring for one, this is a fun and honest listen. 🌱

On this weeks episode of The Performance Marketing podcast, our social media specialist Marie chats to two of our designers Ally and Alicia about everyone’s favourite hot topic: AI. They talk about how it’s sneaking into their creative process, which tools actually make life easier, and whether they should be worried about being replaced by a robot any time soon.

They also share their biggest icks when it comes to AI, compare some of the worst uses they’ve spotted, and debate if the future of design is collaboration… or competition.

We promise not to talk about AI for at least a few more episodes now!
