Social isn’t the new kid on the block anymore. But too many teams are still stuck in the churn - posting constantly without being clear what job social is actually doing for the business.

Beth Thomas has seen this from every angle. Platform-side at TikTok. Brand-side at Deliveroo. Now as Co-Founder of Slice, working with teams trying to bring clarity and intent back into social.

Drawing on what she’s learned inside fast-moving brands and from sitting at the platform level, she breaks down:

• Why content pillars aren’t a strategy
• How Ryanair used social to shift brand perception
• What “grown up” social actually looks li
• Why most reporting is measuring the wrong things
• And what it really means to earn respect at the top table

Subscribe to get the Extended Cut, where we go deeper on social search behaviour, brand measurement, internal politics and what it actually takes to shift perception inside an organisation.

PPC practitioner and community builder Charley Brennand shares how she broke into marketing without a traditional route, ran head-first into gatekeeping, got fired early on, and kept going anyway.

We talk about:

- why “soft skills” aren’t soft at all

- what actually builds confidence over time

- learning by proximity rather than permission

- why being turned away can become fuel rather than a stop sign

Too many marketers still think GTM means picking channels and launching campaigns. But that’s just the end of the process.

Luis Clark, EMEA go-to-market lead at Monday.com breaks down what GTM actually means inside a complex, multi-product, global business.

You’ll hear:

- how Luis reinvented himself from radio DJ to SaaS GTM lead

- what really causes GTM confusion (and how to fix it)

- why standing still is the riskiest option of all

- and how to build confidence in a job you feel underqualified for

Some smart, straight-talking advice for anyone trying to connect marketing to business impact - or make their own leap into a more strategic role.
