Occasionally, for corporate clients like Vauxhall, American Express, Sage Gateshead and DuPont, I make podcasts and videos, and chair conferences, seminars and roundtable discussions - sometimes in partnership with publishers, sometimes on my own.
For state-of-the-art concert venue Sage Gateshead, I plan, produce and present a monthly podcast – Backstage – where I interview some of the artists who will be performing there. Each episode has a different theme (eg. Departures, Appetites, Friends) and pop, rock, soul, jazz, classical and folks artists interviewed so far have ranged from Candi Staton to Chris Difford, from Jon Hopkins to Jon Boden and from Sophie Ellis-Bextor to Zara McFarlane. You can listen to the episodes here on SoundCloud or here on Apple Podcasts.
For Vauxhall Motors, I devised, produced and presented a pair of podcasts – Changing Lanes – about the emerging trends that are impacting the over-40s and their mid-life career decisions, encouraging them to take back control – exploring the opportunities and overcoming the challenges. You can listen to the first episode here.
In partnership with Management Today, I convened and chaired this roundtable discussion on risk management for multinational manufacturer Dupont. Click the video above to find out more.
For American Express, I created the content for a 24-page guide of advice, insights and case studies for entrepreneurs. Download the full guide here.
For Forum Books, I interviewed Peter Hook in front of an audience at Sage Gateshead as we discussed his new autobiography, Substance, and his career with Joy Division and New Order.
