 In this powerful episode of BRANDR, Richard and Roy sit down with George Christopoulos, entrepreneur, former Socceroo, marketer and lifelong Melbournian, for a passionate deep dive into what Melbourne was, what it has become, and what the city must do to reclaim its identity. From migrant beginnings, small business grit, major event strategy and the rise of Melbourne’s multicultural heartbeat, the conversation tackles the future of Melbourne as a global brand, and some uncomfortable truths holding the city back. George reflects on Melbourne’s rich history of community, small business culture, markets, and iconic personalities and explains why “the brand is the people” has never been more relevant. Together, the trio explore how policy, over-regulation, working-from-home, and shifting demographics have reshaped the city, and why the solution isn’t more government, but unlocking people, innovation and purpose.
