Most creative ideas don't die because they're bad. They die because they were pitched wrong.

In this episode of Permission to Rant, we make the case for leading with the problem, not the concept — and break down exactly how to get a brave idea approved when the room isn't convinced yet.

We get into how to read your stakeholder, how to structure your pitch, and what nobody tells you about winning the yes.

If you've ever watched a good idea get shot down because you couldn't defend it under pressure, this one's for you.

Most content teams aren’t struggling to create.

They’re struggling to prioritise what already exists.

In episode 5 of Permission to Rant, we challenge the instinct to publish more and make the case for pruning your content instead.

We discuss why more content isn’t always better, how outdated blogs and overlapping topics hurt performance, why teams are afraid to delete, and how to audit, improve, and consolidate what you already have.

If you’re dealing with a dip in traffic or a bloated content library, this one’s for you.

Most marketing “best practices” aren’t best. They’re just habits.

In episode 4 of Permission to Rant, we call out the clown behaviour still happening across marketing, from gating content to chasing virality.

We discuss why hiding value kills trust, why copying competitors just doesn’t work, why forced thought leadership falls flat, and how trying to do everything is making marketers worse at what actually matters.

If you’re trying to figure out where AI actually fits in your marketing workflow, this one’s for you.

AI doesn’t fix broken marketing workflows, it exposes them.

In episode 3 of Permission to Rant, we talk about the reality behind the AI hype with Contentoo’s CPO, Olivier as our first guest star.

We discuss LinkedIn echo chambers, AI FOMO, why unstructured AI adoption leads to messy brand voices, and why humans still need to stay firmly in the loop. Plus: practical advice on fixing workflows before scaling with AI.

If you’re trying to figure out where AI actually fits in your marketing workflow, this one’s for you.

Your content strategy isn’t broken. Your system is.

In Episode 2 of Permission to Rant, we talk about workflows, the approvals that stall momentum, the unclear ownership that slows everything down, and the “ASAP” deadlines that in fact, aren’t actually deadlines.

We discuss why 86% of marketers feel overwhelmed, why you probably don’t need a new strategy every quarter, and how good ideas die somewhere between feedback round 12 and “just one more comment.”

If you’ve ever stared at a task that should take 15 minutes but felt paralysed by all the steps around it, this one’s for you.

Is B2B allowed to be funny? Or are we asking the wrong question?

In our first episode of Permission to Rant, we unpack the internal panic that happens when you change tone, and why humour without strategy is just noise. We talk about why storytelling is suddenly back in fashion, why alignment is often code for fear, and why the best campaigns look simple but are grounded in serious thinking.

If you’ve ever sat in a meeting wondering where your brilliant idea went after all the approvals, this one’s for you.
