THE FUEL PODCAST: Julie Thompson-Dredge: Project Yourself!

Female British Entrepreneurs need to behave like American Male founders.

With a change in government in the UK, what initiatives should they focus on to help grow the economy through innovation and entrepreneurship?

We can either tax our way to prosperity or grow our way to success on the world stage.

Or both.

Julie Thompson-Dredge, founder of Frame PR is at the cutting edge of the start-up world and among other duties is responsible for comms for the Made in Britain campaign and she’s passionate about helping founders to develop their start-up’s narrative so they can effectively communicate their marketing messages.

In this show, we discuss the basics of promoting a start-up business, using effective low-budget marketing tools and tricks, and also how to develop a captivating story designed to attract funding.

Key to this discussion is the urgent need to create the right environment for female entrepreneurs to flourish, and how Julie helps British women founders behave like American male entrepreneurs.

A fascinating discussion for anyone interested in the world of start-ups, funding and new economic drivers.

THE FUEL PODCAST – PETER SOUTER: A WAY WITH WORDS

Words have impact. Words have meaning. In your advertising, in your PR copy, in your emails, in your social media.

And here to explain his fascination with words is one of the advertising industry’s most famous creative directors, copywriter and agency leader and mentor, Peter Souter.

We caught up him in his last 2 months as TBWA London’s Chairman and CCO – before he retires to enjoy his days using the written word to create entertainment – and this show is full of words of wisdom accumulated over his stellar career.

Starting his career at Delaney Fletcher Delaney in the mid-80s, Souter joined AMV BBDO in 1991, quickly climbing the ranks to replace David Abbott – a creative mind Souter says he grew up “devoted” to – and becoming executive creative director in 1997. After 17 years he took four years out to follow his passion for screenwriting, returning to adland in 2012.

He’s also about to embark on an exciting new venture with comedy screenwriter Richard Curtis. We hear all about that and Peter passes on his learnings from a prolific 40-year career in advertising.
