Now 31, Amelia has built a 6-figure personal branding agency, all off the back of her own personal brand. With a strong following on LinkedIn and with views of 40 million, Amelia and the agency have worked with tech startup founders and FTSE leadership teams, such as The National Lottery, on building personal brands that deliver actual results so they can scale their lead pipeline, generate more referrals to position themselves as an authority and accelerate their businesses growth.

This episode covers:   

  • The lessons learned from Amelia’s first business failure
  • How having a sales background benefited Amelia’s business acumen
  • Amelia’s motivations for starting Klowt

05 Dec 2023How to Level Up Your MarTech Game with Charles Bell, Senior Director of Solution Engineering EMEA at Contentful #2700:49:38

Send us a text

It is no secret that lots of marketers have been using AI to help with content generation. (I mean, you’ve only got to take a look on LinkedIn to spot a few)

But content creation is only half of the battle. If you haven’t got a smooth process for getting it in front of your prospects, then you’re still stuck! 

This is where the V’s of Content comes in.  Velocity, Volume, and Value. 📈 Like a finely tuned engine, they must work seamlessly together to help you get further, faster. 

Charles Bell, Senior Director Solution Engineering EMEA at Contentful, dropped some serious insights on the latest episode of Marketing in the Madness. From the broken promises of MarTech and SAAS technologies to the threats of AI.  

In a world of automation, authenticity is the real key to success. Your brand tone of voice is what separates your content from the mass of copy & paste. When the debate of copyright ownership in generative AI becomes more prevalent, you’ll want to know that your branded content is safe!

We even touch upon the broken promises of MarTech and SAAS solutions, debunking the myth of a one-click personalization. 

This episode is jam-packed with great insights across so many interesting topics - I think you’re going to love it!

This episode covers:

  • Charles career path & experience
  • Sales strategies and RFP’s
  • Digital transformation
  • Composable solutions Vs Monolith platforms 
  • AI in marketing 
  • AI's potential to create content problems
  • Gender balance in the tech industry

27 Feb 2024FLC: Men vs Women // The Importance of Allyship with CMO at Exclaimer, Carol Howley #BONUS00:14:28

Send us a text

We’re back with the second installment of our BRAND NEW podcast partnership with MAD//Fest Female Leaders Club! 

And it is getting better and better…


As you know, we are on a mission to change the game when it comes to equality across the industry - to do that successfully, we need to get more people behind the cause, and who better to help us shout about some of the leading issues when it comes to inequality than those who have/are experiencing the impacts of it firsthand.

So, with that in mind, Katie has welcomed another incredible industry leader in her own right, Carol Howley, CMO at Exclaimer,  to join her on this week's episode of Marketing In The Madness where they dig deeper into Carol's own unique experiences and share invaluable advice on the ever-evolving landscape of gender equality. There are so many eye-opening takeaways from this episode highlighting the need for change, and the importance of advocating, championing and supporting not only females in business but all - as the true answer for change is found in Allyship and not an ‘Us vs Them’ mentality. 

And if you don’t think inequality still exists, maybe this stat will change your mind…

“We estimate it will take 300 years for the gap between men and women in the workplace to even out when it comes to the opportunity men have vs women”

We’ll leave you with that thought…

12 Mar 2024FLC: Empowering Voices: The Vital Role of Male Allies in Gender Equality, Serge Albohayre #BONUS00:08:01

Send us a text

In this week's bonus episode of MITM, we dive deep into the conversation of gender equality within the tech industry, a realm where change is much needed yet challenging to enact. Our special guest, Serge Albohayre, Head of Partnerships and Business Development at Apply Digital, shares his unique perspective as a man who spent the majority of his career in a sector traditionally dominated by male voices. This discussion illuminated the essential role male allies play in fostering an inclusive environment and the profound impact of their support in achieving gender equality. 

As we unpack Serge’s experiences, we confront the stark realities faced by women in tech: walking into boardrooms or meetings where they are vastly outnumbered. This episode is not just an exploration of these challenges but a rallying cry for action. Serge, drawing from his personal observations and the wisdom imparted by influential women in his life, advocates for subtle yet powerful practices of creating opportunities for women without making it about their gender. He emphasised the importance of providing a platform for women to express their ideas and opinions in a comfortable setting, thereby encouraging a more inclusive and diverse discourse. 

Our conversation also sheds light on the critical statistics highlighting the gender disparity in tech, with a particular focus on the underrepresentation of female-founded companies. This issue extends beyond the tech industry, touching upon broader societal norms and the need for a cultural shift towards equality. With us discussing the nuances of support, questioning the motivations behind investments and initiatives aimed at bridging the gender gap, and the importance of sincerity in these efforts. 

Serge’s reflections on feedback and personal growth, specifically regarding communication dynamics, offer valuable insights into how we can all contribute to a more inclusive environment. His experiences underscore the importance of being mindful of our interactions and the space we create for others to share their voices. 

This episode is not just a conversation but a call to action for male allies to recognise their role in supporting women, challenging the status quo, and working together towards a more inclusive future. 

Join us in this compelling discussion that goes beyond the surface, offering both critical insights and hopeful pathways for change. 

And remember, your engagement and support can make a difference in creating a more inclusive tech industry and beyond.

Send us a text

Welcome to a truly game-changing episode of Marketing in the Madness! Recorded live at our International Women's Day 2025 event, this episode is all about empowering women to speak up, stand out, and own their success 💪

At Street Agency, we’re all about amplifying voices and creating opportunities, and this event was no exception. Rather than a traditional panel discussion, we turned the entire audience into our podcast guests, giving incredible women the chance to step up, share their insights, and inspire real change.

Did you know?

  • Men speak up 75% more than women in meetings.
  • Women are interrupted by men 33% more often.
  • Men apply for jobs when they meet only 60% of the qualifications, while women wait until they hit 90-100%. It’s time to change the narrative!

What to expect from this episode:

📣 Featuring guest insights from incredible female leaders
📣 The power of self-promotion and why it matters
📣  The shocking gender biases that still exist in business (and how to break them!)
📣 How to rewrite the rules and take up space in meetings, pitches, and leadership roles

It’s time to be bold, be brave, and be LOUD. If you’ve ever doubted yourself, struggled to speak up, or felt held back, this video is for YOU.

The Marketing in the Madness team would like to thank everyone who took part of this episode by making their voices heard at Street Agency's International Women’s Day 2025 event.

25 Mar 2025Katie Talks B2B: How To Actually Win B2B Clients in 2025 #7500:18:10

Send us a text

In this special solo episode of Marketing in the Madness, Katie Street, founder of Street Agency, shares powerful strategies that are helping brands win over modern B2B clients by focusing on what really matters: human connection, emotional storytelling, and strategic visibility!

If you’re serious about standing out in the competitive B2B space, this episode is packed with unmissable insights that will help you win B2B clients.
Here’s what you’ll learn:

🥇 Only 5% of your target audience is actively buying at any given time. Katie explains how to market to the other 95% and stay top of mind for your B2B clients when they are ready.

🥇  B2B clients aren’t robots, they’re people. Learn how humanising your marketing with emotional messaging and employee-generated content (EGC) builds real trust and keeps your brand front and centre.

🥇 B2B clients want to buy from brands they trust and that trust is built through PEOPLE, not polished decks. Katie reveals how to make your team the face of your brand and drive better engagement.

🥇 AI can help you scale but only if you use it right. Katie shares how to train AI like a team member so it can help you create on-brand content that actually speaks to your B2B clients (not just mimic the internet).

& much more!

Whether you're trying to attract new B2B clients or deepen relationships with your existing ones, this episode offers a clear roadmap. It’s not just about content, it’s about connection, emotion, and visibility in the right places, with the right people.

08 Apr 2025Live from Shoptalk Vegas with the Founder of Storyblok: How CMS Players Revolutionise Digital Experiences00:24:12

Send us a text

In this special episode of Marketing in the Madness, recorded at the buzzing Shoptalk conference in Las Vegas, Katie sits down with Dominik Angerer, Co-Founder and CEO of Storyblok, one of the most exciting CMS players revolutionising digital experiences through composable architecture and AI innovation.

With 260,000+ users and a fast-growing global team, Dominik shares the inside story of Storyblok’s rapid ascent from its first 1,000 users in 3 months to becoming a global CMS powering leading retail and enterprise brands. 

If you’re a Founder or Marketing Leader curious about scalable content strategies, modern tech stacks, or how to unshackle your brand from legacy systems, this conversation is an absolute MUST!

1. Kill the Content Graveyard

Legacy CMS platforms were built to publish and forget. Storyblok flips that on its head with a full content lifecycle approach—starting with ideation (Ideas Room), mapping out user journeys (Concept Room), and ending with automated updates. 

2. Composable Is the Future

Why buy into a monolith when you can plug in best-in-class tools across CMS, DAM, commerce, and more? Dominik explains why the smartest brands are building their stack modular, flexible, and made to scale.

4. Think replatforming takes months? Think again. 

One Storyblok client went live in 17 markets in just 60 days. Another launched a full proof-of-concept in a week. With the right partners and tools, you can move fast and smart!

Ready to see how the smartest tech brands are scaling faster, working smarter, and leaving legacy tech behind?

Watch the full episode now to hear how Storyblok is rewriting the rules of content management and why composable, AI-powered platforms are the future for marketing leaders who want more impact and less drag!

15 Apr 2025Trench Coats and Digital Transformation: The Future of Luxury Retail with Former Burberry Innovator00:48:31

Send us a text

What happens when you mix an ex-Burberry tech mastermind, a shopaholic podcast host, and a bucketload of insights into the future of digital experiences? You get this week’s unmissable episode of Marketing in the Madness!

Katie Street sat down with retail innovation guru, Giles Smith. The person behind the scenes behind the digital and product strategies for Burberry, Selfridges, Unilever, John Lewis and 50+ other retail brands. So when we say he lives and breathes retail tech... we really mean it.

Here’s a sneak peek into what we got stuck into and why you should absolutely tune in:

The Burberry Effect - From launching the first luxury eCommerce site back in 2009 to experimenting with social commerce and digital gamification, Giles reveals how the brand has consistently taken brave leaps into the unknown.


From 10,000 Page RFPs to Rapid Innovation:
At Burberry, Giles led a revolution of ripping up legacy procurement processes and embracing agile, fast decision-making, even choosing underdog platforms before MACH architecture was even a thing.


Tech That Actually Feels Fun:
Imagine this - you pop into your favourite luxury store while on a trip to NYC and bam! - you’re handed NBA tickets just for being a loyal customer. No forms. No points. Just wow.

But why aren’t brands doing this yet? The technology already exists. The opportunity is right there. It just takes brands being brave enough to actually use it creatively.

Oh and yes, Katie and Giles even pitched a few ideas on how British Airways could spice up customer loyalty (golden ticket under the seat, anyone? 🤭)

One Message to Tech Leaders: It’s not always about chasing trends. It’s about creating environments where your teams can innovate, where creativity can thrive, and where customer experience becomes a true competitive advantage.
