This year’s Huddle theme is ‘Power To The People’ and we have a jam-packed agenda of 140 + sessions featuring a mix of leading media, tech players, entrepreneurs, academics, celebrities and interested amateurs that will discuss and debate how people are taking back control and what this means for brands and communications We are living in turbulent times. With a climate of political populism, economic upheaval and general uncertainty for the future, Britain has never been so divided. Across the generations, by regions and within families, differences of opinions, thoughts, values and behaviours are now widespread - young versus old, city versus rural, vegan versus meat-eater, London versus the rest the country, the discord goes on.  And across these different tribes a common response is emerging - with so many factors out of people’s control, with so many concerns for the future – what are the small ways in which they can take back power? How can people shape their lives, choices, decisions in

Acast brings together a smörgåsbord of respected podcasting voices from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in the media (whether through ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation).We’ll explore the role brands play in the representation of diverse groups, tackling the dangers of “faking it” and simply ticking boxes, and whether brands are truly working with communities in ways that are authentic and meaningful. We’ll also hear more about the journeys our speakers have been on in the booming and rapidly maturing podcasting space.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

More and more our opinions are shaped by big brands, hidden online algorithms and those we’ve come to call “influencers”.Who are these “influencers” and why do we trust them? What’s the difference between an influencer and a celebrity? Has anyone here ever met an influencer? Will they disappear as quickly as they arrived on the scene?What about the voice of real people - you and me? As trust in business and institutions continues to decline, does our authentic voice become more influential? In a world of social media hype and fake news, how important is word of mouth? Are forums and reviews on Amazon or Tripadvisor the new reality?In an automated world maybe “human interaction” could become a luxury selling point? As experiential marketing continues to bring brands and consumer closer together, but how much further can that go?  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
