The workplace of the future with Angela Ferguson, Co-Founder of Future X Collective.
What does the future of the workplace hold? Robots might not be taking over (yet), but virtual work sure is.   With over 40% of Australians working from home in some capacity, it’s clear the way we work is changing. And with this, what we expect of our workplace is too.   But is the office truly dead, or do we just need to rethink what it looks like?  In this episode of Commical, we’re joined by Angela Ferguson, leading workplace strategist, and Co-founder of Future X Collective, a leading Australian workplace design consultant. She provides insight into the workplace of the future and what it needs to look like to be successful.   Spoiler alert – it’s more than a fake green wall and a fridge full of wine.

How to create real change with Dany Elachi, The Heads Up Alliance & Alistair Nicholas, Public Affairs and Government Expert
Commical by Chasing Albert takes a look at the funny side of business and uncovers some nuggets of gold along the way. From bite sized piss takes to in depth conversations – this podcast is light business entertainment, not to be taken lightly.   In this episode… How to create real change at a government level. Many large organisations have the resources to appoint professionals to act on their behalf. Others start at the grass roots and do it all themselves.   We explore both sides with Australia’s leading Government Relations and Public Affairs expert, Alistair Nicholas and Dany Elachi from The Heads Up Alliance, a small community organisation made up purely of parents concerned about the harmful effects of smartphones on children. They are currently lobbying for the NSW Government to restrict the use of mobile phones in schools.   A restriction on mobile phone use only during school hours seems like a no brainer. But is it?   Got feedback?    Share your feedback or guest suggestions via email: [email protected]   Commical by Chasing Albert.  Chasing Albert is an Australian marketing communications agency.

In conversation with Tim Burrowes, Editor & Founder of Unmade
How would a marketing expert approach marketing their own business? That’s what I want to know when I speak with Tim Burrowes. He has long been a leading voice in marketing and media. With extensive experience as an editor and as a marketing journalist, he set up Mumbrella in 2010, one of the leading B2B publications of its time. And it sold in under 9 years. How did he build the brand? What marketing did he employ? Where did he use agencies? He shares all this and more. And more importantly, Tim shares his vision for Unmade, his latest B2B publishing venture for the marketing and media industry. The business is not yet 1, already boasts thousands of subscribers and delivers the smart, insightful and witty stories Tim is well known for. Their first event is coming up (it’s a corker!) and  with many more to follow, Unmade is already making a mark. Here’s what we cover: Pleasantries and a bit of ass kissing (on my part anyway) The evolution of Mumbrella Building a brand The role of values and the impact on output The vision for unmade His experience with branding, PR and SEO Why people shouldn’t take themselves so seriously As promised in the episode, here are the links to: That hilarious ‘About’ pic: https://www.unmade.media/about Tickets to the ‘ marketing in a cost of living crisis: https://events.humanitix.com/unmade-marketing-in-a-cost-of-living-crisis This is Unmade’s first event, and it will take place at Forrester’s in Surry Hills on May 24 at 5pm.
