 The story of the Monday Morning Marketing Podcast
Where we started
2019

In late 2019, Melanie and Esther were at the Women’s Inspire Network event as attendees which was hosted by Samantha Kelly AKA Tweetinggoddess.  Whilst mingling and laughing with friends there, Sarah Gray of SOS Events suggested that they might start working together as she thought they would be a good pairing.  Then she suggested doing a podcast!

In all the years they had known each other (since 2015), they had never directly worked together and all of a sudden this seemed like the greatest idea ever.  The two ladies promptly sat down at the nearest bar and in the space of one afternoon, the concept of The Monday Morning Marketing Podcast was crafted.  Over the intervening weeks, a website was started, social media handles created and a show list of topic headings and guests was set up.

First Sponsor
The story of getting their first sponsor is quite amusing.  The company emailed the website directly but the ladies initially believed it to be a hoax.  After numerous phone calls and checking who had messaged them, the two dimwits finally understood that someone ACTUALLY wanted to sponsor them.

From October to December 2020 they were sponsored by AgoraPulse UK and Ireland team and the ladies were both invited to become Brand Ambassadors.  Neither of them were daft and said yes!

Every week the dynamic duo bring you their knowledge and interesting guests in bite-sized snippets. With years of experience between them, there's no doubt that the ladies will "edutain" (educate and entertain at the same time) you with each episode.
