Podcasts

Welcome to the Marketing Blabs podcast!
Are you tired of marketing podcasts from agencies who only want to sell you their services? We have just the ticket. No sales bullshit, just honest, genuine advice with a side helping of banter from Nottinghamshire’s most experienced digital marketers.
If you’re a business owner or a like-minded marketing professional then this podcast is for you. It’s full of insights, industry news, tips and advice. You’ll learn about search engine optimisation (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC), content marketing, branding and website design.
Strap in because we’re about to reveal the things that other agencies would rather you didn’t know.
Our very own creative director, Tom Haslam will interview a different industry expert every month (with some returning favourites) and at the end of each episode you’ll come away with actionable insights that you can use to grow your business online.
