He’s also become a recent TikTok phenomenon as others have realised what an absolute genius this man is. I was beyond excited to have him join me on the show.</p><br><p>Rory is not only a marketeer, but an expert in behavioural science, talking me through how trends work and change over time. We spoke about memetics; how a herd mentality can massively dictate our tastes and the important role social awkwardness plays in swaying opinions. I also asked him about the best and worst marketing successes and failures, from Ryanair to bubble tea, nuclear power to wearing shorts in winter.</p><br><p>This conversation was brimming with great advice - it’s definitely a conversation I’ll be coming back to; my main takeaway was to never blindly follow logic, but to question and push to boundaries to create something new!</p><br><p>You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast and if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk</p><br><p>If you or anyone you know has been affected by suicidal thoughts, you can head to CALM to find support: www.thecalmzone.net</p><p>--</p><p>THE CREDITS</p><p>Exec Producer: Jemima Rathbone</p><p>Assistant Producer: Gurlina Heer</p><p>Video: Jake Ji &amp; Ryley Kirby</p><p>Social Media: Laura Coughlan</p><p>Great Company is an original podcast from JamPot</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
