Episode 1: The Next Step: From Automation to AI Agents
David Harvey sits down with Lee Noble, an early adopter of AI in the marketing process, to discuss what the evolution of Automation into AI means for businesses. Lee draws on his experience to explain how the opportunity goes far beyond speeding up tasks and how businesses can use AI in the decision-making process, especially within lead generation and the sales cycle. He confronts concerns about job replacement, the new requirements for education and training and the practical steps businesses can take now.
Episode 2: Building Bradford’s Creative Legacy
David Harvey sits down with Shanaz Gulzar, Creative Director of Bradford 2025 / Bradford Culture Company, to explore the ambition, imagination and hard work behind Bradford’s year as UK City of Culture.
Shanaz shares how a bold civic idea became a city-wide cultural movement, from developing the original bid during the pandemic to bringing together artists, communities, businesses and cultural institutions. She explains why culture is about far more than headline events, and how access, participation and giving local people ownership have been central to Bradford 2025.
They discuss the importance of taking creative risks, creating opportunities for emerging talent and building genuine partnerships across the city. Shanaz also reflects on the role culture can play in regeneration, social cohesion and civic confidence – and why the real measure of success will be the creative legacy Bradford builds long after its City of Culture year has ended.
Episode 3: Beyond Beige: AI, Attention and the Power of Story
Coming soon
In this episode, David Harvey sits down with futurist Matthew Griffin, who advises governments, investors and global brands on what the world could look like over the next 10 years and beyond. They explore how AI is changing marketing, work and education, and why the people and brands that stand out will be the ones that use it well.
Matthew explains why using AI only to automate marketing leads to generic, "beige" content, and why the real advantage comes from combining the technology with human judgement, creativity and expertise. They discuss how organisations run at different clock speeds, how rising content volumes are driving up the cost of attention, and why some of the world's biggest brands are moving back into physical, real-world experiences.
They also talk about the gap between education and the skills businesses need, why the mindset to lead matters more than fear of being replaced, and why storytelling is still what turns a great product into one people want to buy.
