Season 1
In this episode of Ramble On, Kate reflects again on a topic recently covered in her blog - that of 'false summits' in marketing. Where the blog (https://houseofcomms.uk/blog/marketing-strategys-false-summit/) takes a theoretical view of the analogy, this episode covers the same analogy from a more practical and personal perspective. Kate shares the realisation that she recently encountered a false summit in her own marketing, something she considers a failure, that has inspired her to do things differently next time.

In this third episode of Ramble On, Kate is out walking in Yorkshire. Kate recently compared her own human-written marketing strategy with an AI-written strategy, only to find a lack of creativity - or distinctiveness - in the latter strategy. Her disappointment is the focus of today's walk, with Kate wondering why AI can't piece together the unique assets of her business to create a marketing plan that differentiates her from competitors. Kate asks listeners to think about their own differentiators and how they can avoid blending in to the 'sea of sameness' that we're all swimming through.
