  • Strategists or planners?

    The OnStrategy Podcast is well-produced but leans too heavily on the idea of strategists as a standalone profession, which feels a bit disconnected from reality. Strategy isn’t an isolated job—it’s part of a bigger process, while planning is an actual profession. The podcast could be more engaging by focusing on real-world application, bringing in more diverse formats, improving storytelling, and making the discussions feel less abstract and more useful. Right now, it risks being more about thin... more

  • Informative & revealing

    Strategists don’t tend to have the ‘club’ that the creative industry does, so we have less opportunities to meet, talk and connect. This podcast gives strategists the opportunity to get there nerd on and go deeply into the multifaceted tools & topics that is strategy today! And we get to ‘meet’ the leading thinkers in the industry. Fergus is a sharp interviewer and asks the questions you are thinking as the discussion kicks on. Thank you loves podcast!
