One of the most inspiring speakers at the 2024 Digital Marketing World Forum was Christian d'Ippolito, Head of Marketing and Development at Steel Warriors. He talks about how he has taken skills learnt in the ad industry to help fight knife crime and build community through Steel Warriors.

A detour up to Birmingham let us record this episode in the Media Production studios at Birmingham City University.

We talk about Milky Bar, Crunchie, Creme Eggs & Scorched Almonds and Sam's generous walking tour of the city which included stops at the Mailbox, BBC Radio and a peek through the window at some celebrity art.
Bonus ads mentioned: Tina Fey - Booking.com vs Christopher Walken - BMW. These came out within a month of each other. Which do you think is better (worse)? Email us at [email protected] with your thoughts.
