Commical takes a look at the funny side of business and uncovers some nuggets of gold along the way. Hosted by marketing pro, business owner and comedian, Marie El Daghl, Commical delivers weekly bite sized piss takes and monthly in-depth conversations. It’s light business entertainment, not to be taken lightly.
This week’s episode is Commical in Conversation with Tim Burrowes.
That’s what I want to know when I speak with Tim Burrowes. He has long been a leading voice in marketing and media. With extensive experience as an editor and as a marketing journalist, he set up Mumbrella in 2010, one of the leading B2B publications of its time. And sold it in under 9 years. How did he build the brand? What marketing did he employ? Where did he use agencies? and of course, why is branding important? He shares all this and more.
And more importantly, Tim shares his vision for Unmade, his latest B2B publishing venture for the marketing and media industry. The business is not yet 1, and already boasts thousands of subscribers. It delivers the smart, insightful, and witty stories Tim is well known for, and puts out an excellent weekly marketing podcast. Their first event is coming up (it’s a corker!) and with many more to follow, Unmade is already making a mark.
