  • Strategists or planners?

    The OnStrategy Podcast is well-produced but leans too heavily on the idea of strategists as a standalone profession, which feels a bit disconnected from reality. Strategy isn’t an isolated job—it’s part of a bigger process, while planning is an actual profession. The podcast could be more engaging by focusing on real-world application, bringing in more diverse formats, improving storytelling, and making the discussions feel less abstract and more useful. Right now, it risks being more about thin... more

  • Informative & revealing

    Strategists don’t tend to have the ‘club’ that the creative industry does, so we have less opportunities to meet, talk and connect. This podcast gives strategists the opportunity to get there nerd on and go deeply into the multifaceted tools & topics that is strategy today! And we get to ‘meet’ the leading thinkers in the industry. Fergus is a sharp interviewer and asks the questions you are thinking as the discussion kicks on. Thank you loves podcast!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Grow Therapy and its challenger brand mindset
Q: How do you manage the brand experience and bring the Grow way to therapists who work with Grow customers?
Ball points to rigorous provider vetting and product features that support the experience before, during, and after sessions. Partesotti adds that patients can revisit what they discussed and reflected on, helping them build momentum in their work.
Grow Therapy and its challenger brand mindset
Q: Is there an angle that Grow feels it uniquely occupies or can occupy?
Ball and Partesotti describe a position focused on progress and proactive mental health support, rather than limiting therapy to crisis management or practical access concerns.
Life Stage vs. Generational Cohorts and the Implications for Strategy
Q: So what is the connection between kids staying in school longer and the helicopter parenting on drivers licenses?
Carmichael explains that graduated licensing rules can restrict teens' ability to drive to jobs and social activities. He says those missing outlets contribute to longer school enrollment, while the policy has also reduced teen driving deaths.
Life Stage vs. Generational Cohorts and the Implications for Strategy
Q: Do you think marketers are responsible for that? Because I'm always thinking, who the hell is responsible for the definition of these labels?
Carmichael says marketers push for generational labels and increasingly apply them earlier and more quickly, while Zielinski adds that generation naming has long been marketer-driven.
On the Spot Live in NYC: Three Strategists. Three Campaigns. One Winner. So fun.
Q: How did the Claude campaign address people's skepticism about technology monitoring their every move and heart rate?
Thew says the campaign avoided focusing on measurement and instead emphasized the benefit, sidestepping concerns about the technology itself.
