TINY GIANT JAMS

Oh boy! This is a humdinger. Kerry H. has a marvellous conversation with Dirk Knemeyer, a highly acclaimed Social Futurist based in

Dirk is a Producer and Co-Project Lead at Creative Next. His aim? To future-proof creatives and enlighten them with the technological leaps that are happening right now which will shape the years ahead.

If you're in the creative industry and you want to know how the world is changing, do dive into this episode. Dirk is mega-inspiring.

You should also check out as many Creative Next podcast episodes as is humanly possible. They are so good.

(By the way, Massachusetts translates from the Native American as "At The Great Hill". So now you know.)

Enjoy this episode. We've got plenty more where this came from. Better subscribe then. 

He walks amongst us. That's right! This latest TGJ episode features Bruce Daisley, VP of Twitter EMEA, host of the acclaimed podcast Eat Sleep Work Repeat and author of The Sunday Times No 1 business bestseller: The Joy Of Work.

Bruce was in Bristol giving a talk on workplace culture for BIMA and Bristol Media, so Tiny Giant took the liberty of catching with him. It was a treat for us and hopefully a wow for you. Enjoy!

To champion Mental Health Awareness Week, Kerry meets Michelle Morgan, founder of Pjoys - a pyjama company with purpose. Settle in for a stack of truth, wisdom and insight from an entrepreneur who has a profound, hard-hitting story to tell. 

Michelle came up with the idea for Pjoys after experiencing first hand what it’s like to mentally burn out and sink into anxiety and depression. During her recovery, the pyjamas that had held her back became her inspiration. A chance to positively help people and remove the stigma around mental health.

At the end of TGJ#20, Kerry returns with the Tiny Giant Takeouts featuring the key hints and tips from Michelle - make sure you stick around for that!

Welcome to this nineteenth Tiny Giant Jam. Glad you could make it. Today we meet Annalisa Checchi, a solicitor at Foot Anstey LLP in Bristol. Annalisa and Norts caught up to talk about creative AI and the law. The dos and donts. The complexities of copyright and intellectual property in this new age of machine-generated creativity. This follows Annalisa's recent talk at March's I'll Be Back South West.

She offers a wealth of valuable advice in what is a thoroughly fascinating subject. Many boundaries have yet to be tested. Perhaps this episode will help keep you out of court! No doubt, we'll do a lively follow-up in the not-too-distant future.

Hello! We're back after a tiny spring sojourn with a spiffing meet-up with Stephen Knight, Founder and Team Lead at Pimento. Kerry caught up with him at FutureSync 2019, and the two talked modern marketing, agency models, the Pimento proposition and a whole lot more. As we always say, do dive in!

Note: there are a couple of micro sound glitches - just after the 5-minute mark - we blame the seagulls. Nothing to spoil your enjoyment, mind you. In fact, they give the entire episode an extra layer of raw authenticity.

Remember, if you'd like to join us on TGJ and chew the fat, do get in touch: [email protected] is a good place to start.

In this episode of Tiny Giant Jams we meet Uslan Cevet: artist, photographer, content expert and all-round good guy.

We met him in the Barbican and had an absolute blast.

In fact, he's got so many stories and is into so many things, we're sure to have back at some point in the future. We barely scratched the surface of Uslan.

He can found here (LinkedIn), here (Instagram) and here (Twitter).

Do dive in and have the best time.

We love this episode! Norts gets to hang and converse in the cultured confines of The Barbican Theatre with the awesome Dave Birss, man of books, media, public speaking, unrivalled creativity and a whole bunch more. Dave's recent tome "How To Get To Great Ideas" has been picking up plaudits aplenty and doing bloomin' decent business on the Amazon and other book retailers. Dive in and listen well as DB waxes lyrical on a multitude of creative matters. It's fun dialled up to 1 more than 11. 

Holy motherboard! This is a humdinger of a TGJ episode. Kerry and Norts reach all the way over to Puget Sound to hear from Microsoft disruptor-in-chief Geoffrey Colon. As Head of Microsoft Advertising Brand Studio, Geoffrey works at the intersection of innovation, marketing, tech, design, media, human behaviour, popular culture and trends. (Heck, that's a pretty big intersection.) He is brilliant, so listen well and you will learn. Thank you, GC.

Saddle up, listener! This episode of Tiny Giant Jams is hotter than the high Texas sun on a sultry summer's day. That's because it features Ann Hiatt (ex Google and Amazon) and Chris Thurling (Chair of Bristol Media). They've just jetted back to Europe from SXSW 2019 in Austin and were kind enough to share  their views and observations of what they saw and experienced. Ann was also a keynote speaker at SXSW - her third time in front of the SXSW festival crowds. In this episode, you'll find out what rocked. What shocked. And what Chris thinks about electric scooters. (They were everywhere.) Don't stand back - dive on in for some rootin' tootin' inspirational insight. See you at SXSW 2020!
