Media in Colour

By Wavemaker Roots

Media is an ever-growing and expanding industry with a lot of potential for career growth and financial payoff. But if you are not exposed to the community, it is very difficult to even know that it exists. It influences much of the content that we as consumers enjoy, but the decision makers behind it all look the same. How do we increase the global majority representation, both in front of and behind screens? How do we enlighten people to the several career opportunities that exists within the industry for all?

These are the questions the podcast seeks to answer.

Media in Colour - S2 Episode 05: Influencers, the Good, the Bad and in between

Media in Colour - S2 Episode 05: Influencers, the Good, the Bad and in between

If someone told you that they had strategy and resources to create at-scale bespoke content that hits your specific target audience in the places they frequent the most, with the language they love to listen to and the format that would engage them the most, what would you say?


Most people would say yes until they hear the term influencer. In this episode we sit down with Nathalie Moruzzi the Global Platform & Influencer Lead at Wavemaker and (at the time of the interview) the Global Product Director at GOAT (who is now the Global Commerce Strategy Director at mindshare) to breakdown influencers to what they are, how to do go effective work with them and what the future holds as platforms evolve.

Media in Colour - S2 Episode 02: Tik Tok Made me buy it: Hearing Aid Edition

According to most plans, 18 to 45 is the golden range for pushing ads... but wait, does that mean that people over 45 don't buy? Last time I checked the average 50-year-old probably has a bit more to spend than the average 25-year-old. In today's episode, we sit down with Tik Tok to talk about Generational advertising the differences advertising to an older generation vs a younger one as well as an inspirational hear aid ad.

Media in Colour - Episode 05: A sit down with Channel 4

Media in Colour - Episode 05: A sit down with Channel 4

We brought 2022 to a close with an awesome sit-down with Maria St. Louis who has recently taken the position of Equity and Inclusion lead at Channel 4. You may have heard of Channel 4 before, they are a small indie broadcaster in the UK.  Just kidding, they are a major player in the media world and act as a point of innovation on many fronts, one of which is their approach to DEI. From having a black history month take over on their channels to doing a first of it's kind black to the front campaign, reporting on representation on television. We sat down with Maria to understand Channel 4's approach through the collective, as well as to understand Marie's experience being a black woman in the space long before what we all see today.

It was a fun and awesome conversation, with so many quotes we could probably make a clothing line!

Hope you enjoy it.
