  • Let's Talk Tech - What the F&*k is SEO?
    Jan 30 2026

    Aimee and Pete are back with a brand new series of M&G Agency Life, called Let’s Talk Tech . They’re kicking things off with a question everyone’s heard of, but not everyone really understands… What the F&*k is SEO?

    Joined by M&G’s Digital Strategist Alex, the team break down what SEO actually is, why it’s good and why you need it, without the jargon, buzzwords or tech waffle. They cover what SEO means in practice, how it fits into a wider digital strategy, and what businesses should realistically expect from it.

    Expect clear explanations, practical insight and real-world context… and, as always, a slightly ridiculous ending to round things off.

    Tech explained. Confusion removed. SEO finally makes sense.

  • Meet the Client - Season Finale - Mike Wilson, Mearns & Gill
    Jun 9 2025

    For the final episode of Series 2, we’re flipping the mic around… and welcoming our very own Managing Director, Mike Wilson, into the hot seat!

    From sweeping warehouse floors to steering multi-million-pound businesses, Mike’s career journey is anything but ordinary. In this episode, he shares how a science degree led to a drug rehabilitation centre, a family business, and eventually to owning Scotland’s longest-running marketing agency.

    We talk career pivots, leadership lessons, the highs and lows of business ownership, and what it really takes to build a thriving agency culture.

    Oh, and there’s also a seriously unhinged round of This or That you won’t want to miss…

    🎧 It’s honest, insightful, and the perfect way to round off Series 2.
