On The Business Show on Marlow FM on 15th February 2024, my guests were Beverley Kaye, Chief Commercial Officer of Factotum, and social media queen Deb Mason, who joined me to talk about their work, and to discuss a range of business news stories.
My first music choice from the Hilary Playlist was New Order with “Temptation” - https://youtu.be/xxDv_RTdLQo?si=rM1Q7oZV8bK1VQbG is where you can hear the full 7 minute version (which I didn’t play!).
Deb then spoke about her work in the world of social media, and the questions that are very common to hear from her contacts. And she had an interesting answer to whether what she does is a science or an art.
You can connect with Deb via https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborahvmason-socialmediaconsultant/ .
Beverley then spoke about Factotum, who are a multi-disciplinary outsourcing firm, and what the role of Chief Commercial Officer actually means!
Their website is https://www.factotum.com/and you can connect with her at https://www.linkedin.com/in/beverley-kaye-76b20723/ .
Deb’s music choice was “The Best” by Tina Turner, because the best thing to do is work with people, which is what she does. You can hear it at https://youtu.be/GC5E8ie2pdM?si=QJK4dKwp6S-Dj5B9 .
She then chose a story featured at https://www.marketingweek.com/communication-skills-marketing/ - do today’s marketing people have the right communication skills?
We then played Beverley’s choice of music – “Never give up on a good thing” by George Benson. She chose it because we need to hang on to what’s good. You can hear it at https://youtu.be/UNU3OPbeaJw?si=h2Dtf_Yuh9N2serB.
Her story for us to discuss can be found at https://www.independent.co.uk/world/avon-recruitment-russia-ukraine-b2486137.html - is this still a valid business model, and what about the reputational damage of being where they are?
The last song was the second for (and from) Hilary – Pixies with “Monkey gone to heaven” – you can hear it at https://youtu.be/OncDlwNH9F0?si=O3rgTak68cTq6LUz.
