Ready to get quizzical? 🧠🍻
In this laugh-out-loud episode of the Tech on Toast Podcast, Chris Fletcher sits down with ✨ Mark Walsh ✨ – the fashion-journo-turned-tech-founder behind Kwizzbit, the interactive quiz platform shaking up the pub game across the globe!
From loading up fashion mags in the 90s to loading quizzes into over 47 countries, Mark’s journey is anything but ordinary. He shares how his love of music, people, and pub culture led to creating Kwizzbit – a platform where anyone can run a full quiz night from their phone. No pens. No paper. No faff. Just proper fun.
In this episode, we chat:
✅ From fashion journalism to hospitality tech
✅ How Rock and Roll Bingo paved the way for Kwizzbit 🎸
✅ Why the smoking ban created opportunity, not chaos
✅ How venues can drive footfall, capture data & boost sales with one smart quiz
✅ What it means to build tech that your mum could actually use 👵📲
✅ Plus: Chris joins a live quiz mid-show (and rates himself a bit too highly)
Mark also shares:
