SURREAL’s copywriter: The copywriter’s guide to brand building - John Thornton
Manage episode 477107108 series 2853165
What happens when you combine a cereal brand, surreal humour, and a copywriter who isn’t afraid to admit when he’s just “crapped something out”? You get one of the most delightfully strange and insightful hours of marketing chat you'll ever hear.
In this episode, we’re joined by John Thornton, the creative mind behind Surreal’s surreal tone of voice (and ex-Innocent word-wrangler). We chat about:
Finding your brand’s voice—even if it’s a bit unhinged
Why humour, honesty, and even typos can win hearts (and views)
How to stay weird and do your job as a marketer
It’s honest. It’s smart. It’s surreal in the best possible way. Come for the laughs, stay for the strategy.
