Part of our occasional Best of the Podosphere (BoP) series
Gary Bembridge is VP of global strategy & marketing at Johnson & Johnson and produces this promising Unleashed on Marketing podcast series in his spare time based on over 25 years in the marketing game.
We rarely listen to podcasts that just involve one person but there’s something about the South African accent (that’s how it sounds to us!) that draws you in (sic Joe Jaffe’s Across the Sound). And in this episode, ostensibly called “What makes you different?”, Gary brings together much of the latest thinking and discussion around creating brand meaning, doing good, having big ideas etc.
Quite long at c. 40mins but it is, IMHO, worth persevering.

This is a video featuring the edited highlights from a roundtable discussion on how well and badly big brands innovate. Convened by BrainJuicer, it features the collective wisdom of both clients and staff. The conversation lasted almost two hours but we were commissioned to record the session and edit it down. Now, much as we tried, we couldn’t get it below c.40mins because of the amount of goodness there.
But the length gave us and Chief Juicer John Kearon pause for thought. How could we make it as accessible and watchable as possible? Well, here are a few tiny innovations that were inspired by that quandary
- John invited illustrator Bob Wagner along to capture seminal moments as cartoons. Not only are these embedded in the video, John’s also created a useful eBook teaser complete with enlightening quotes
- As usual you can find a list of the talking areas here, enabling you to quickly get to the parts that interest you most. This is one of the reasons we use Google video for streaming, because they allow you to go to any part of the video directly without wasteful buffering time
- For those who prefer something slicker, try the chapterised version of the video

Poke digital agency co-founder Iain Tait pokes fun at traditional advertising thinking by listing ten ways in which digital paradigms reign supreme. Funny presentation where the subtext is really about the divide between spectators who prefer to watch from the sidelines, and do-ers who like to try new things, experiment, fail and try again.

Sir James Dyson is one of John Kearon’s heroes. Both are entrepreneurs. And both believe passionately in the power of supreme engineering innovation to deliver progress. So when the opportunity came up to have a chat with Iain Carruthers, brand consultant and now second time author, this time of an authorised biography of Sir James, we jumped at the chance to get the two Dyson aficionados in conversation. Iain’s managed to pull together a fascinating series of insights that should appeal to entrepreneurs and brand marketers alike. Once you’ve heard this, dive into the book: Great Brand Stories: Dyson
