My guest on the Azeem Digital Asks podcast this week is the awesome Rebekah Dunne, content executive at Sweet Digital agency, based in the West Midlands. We have a great conversation about her background, how she’d survive a zombie apocalypse (you read that right), Gilmore Girls, her passion for writing, the need for a “tribe”, people who you can lift up and who lift you up too – and so much more. She was kind enough to really share some great insights into her journey in the industry, and useful marketing tips too – which made for another great episode.

We have a great conversation about her journey into the industry, how she views failure, and she really gives you an insight into her mindset and how she works. I even managed to put her on the spot and ask her why people should work with her, and she gives an absolutely brilliant answer right off the bat – you really don’t want to miss this episode. After we finished recording this, I definitely spent some time reframing some of the ways I approach things, based on the great advice she gave.

Joining me this week on the Azeem Digital Asks podcast is the fantastic Rikki Lear, Director of Digital 22, a specialist HubSpot agency, based in the UK. 

To put it quite simply, you should ABSOLUTELY listen to this episode – Rikki is incredibly open, and honest – and shares all of the highs, and some of the lows that he’s experienced throughout his career. He talks about the difficulties of looking after an agency during COVID, and shares some incredibly useful advice that pretty much everyone in the industry I think would benefit from.

Rikki also shares the story behind how Digital 22 started, which (when I heard it) had me in tears of laughter. He’s genuinely a nice guy, and I’d strongly recommend hearing his story.
