Conversations on New Zealand Advertising and Marketing hosted by Paul Catmur. If you ever wanted to know who did what or where the bodies are buried this is the podcast for you. Whether you're just starting out in the industry and want some background on its leaders, or whether you just want to relive the glory days you will find something of interest. Have a listen and let me know what you think. Unless you hate them, in which case it was all Jonathan's idea at Franklin Road. Talking of Jonathan, many thanks to him and his team for putting it all together. Cheers Paul
