But it did not come about by accident. It was a strategic plan emanating from something called the Jurassic Park moment.

In addition to some Michelin star name dropping, Andrew spills the beans on some of Salt's most fascinating projects for brands such as CNBC, Airbus, Soho Farmhouse and Goldman Sachs. And Andrew and Jasmine ponder what Lamborghini and Mini might taste like if they were edible.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>There are 9 unicorns in Africa and 8 of them are in fintech. The fintech explosion across the continent represents a wholesale shift in how money moves, how small businesses get capital, how consumers pay, borrow and save. And it is also one of the continent’s most dynamic branding laboratories — because these companies aren’t just selling apps, they’re trying to build trust, reliability and scale in markets where half the adult population has historically been unbanked. In this episode Jasmine and Piers debate the question of whether African fintechs are creating a new kind of African brand or just getting away with sub-par branding because of the technologically-driven gold rush? Behind the $3 billion Flutterwaves and $1.7 billion Wave brands are stories about logos, colours, agents, kiosks, even penguins. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>There are 9 unicorns in Africa and 8 of them are in fintech. The fintech explosion across the continent represents a wholesale shift in how money moves, how small businesses get capital, how consumers pay, borrow and save. And it is also one of the continent’s most dynamic branding laboratories — because these companies aren’t just selling apps, they’re trying to build trust, reliability and scale in markets where half the adult population has historically been unbanked. In this episode Jasmine and Piers debate the question of whether African fintechs are creating a new kind of African brand or just getting away with sub-par branding because of the technologically-driven gold rush? Behind the $3 billion Flutterwaves and $1.7 billion Wave brands are stories about logos, colours, agents, kiosks, even penguins. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>In the wake of Cannes Lions, Piers and Jasmine debate the question… are awards still worth the hype? Are awards simply the Oscars for creative egos or still the most important stage for global marketing excellence. We investigate some of this year’s Lions winners including an homage to the immortal L’Oreal campaign “Because you’re worth it”, a set of furry friends proving Telstra’s coverage across Australia and an ad that is all about the best place in the world to have herpes. And if that doesn’t answer the question, we don’t know what does. </p>]]>
