Episode 5 ‐ Mailchimp Marketing Madness featuring Michael Mitchell, Simon Harper and Andi Jarvis.

Mailchimp isn’t just an email marketing platform. It’s the go-to business partner for millions and millions of small and medium businesses around the world.

Episode 5 focuses on Mailchimp from a number of angles. We’re joined by Michael Mitchell, the Director of Global Brand Marketing from NYC. We talk about brand marketing in a performance marketing world, his career and training plus dive in depth to his views on Black Lives Matter.

I’m certain that I could do 1000 podcasts and I won’t get another set of book recommendations quite like Michael’s – he’s a writer a heart and the books he’s suggested reflect that. There are links below to go and buy them… so do it!

We’ve got a T.O.P.T.I.P from Simon Harper from SRH Design. Simon is the first Mailchimp partner and certified expert in Ireland and Northern Ireland. So he really knows his onions – and Mailchimp.

I don’t talk about Mailchimp too much. Instead I talk about an email I recently sent out via Mailchimp (it’s not that much of a leap, honest!) – it’s about some of the biggest mistakes I’ve made in my career, how they’ve helped me and how they all have something in common… not asking enough questions.
