My Guest this week was our headline speaker at the live event of the 24 hour podcast. Giles Palmer, the Founder of Brandwatch a digital consumer intelligence company.  A company he started from scratch in 2006 and has grown over the past 15 years to £100 million revenue with over 500 staff, with offices globally.  In 2021 they sold to Cision for $450 Million to continue with its ambitions for large scale growth. This is a truly amazing Sussex Success story and was honoured to have Giles on. This was a true highlight for me to have the opportunity to have this conversation with Giles during the 24 hour podcast challenge. We talked about his early entrepreneurial ventures with his first business that despite raising £1.5 million in funding, he had to close down and lost £25,000. Giles describes how this had lit the entrepreneurial spark in him and how he finally in 2006 came to start Brandwatch, where he grew into a global company. He gives an insight into the importance of building a strong culture as well as so many key takeaways for anyone looking to start a business. I absolutely loved this conversation and below are some of my key takeaways: ⭕️ You need to have insane amounts of optimism and resilience 🧢🟥 If you don't dream it, it won't happen 🧢🔺 Take one step at a time, keep going and it's amazing how far you can go 🧢  Everyone has a story to tell...Watch the episode on YouTube ➡️ https://youtu.be/kUHRa0-Hx_IFind out more about Giles Palmer click here ➡️ https://www.linkedin.com/in/giles-palmer/OUR SPONSORSCreative Pod ➡️ https://www.creativepod.uk.com/EMC Corporate Finance ➡️ https://www.emcltd.co.uk/Preston Insurance Brokers ➡️ https://prestoninsurancebrokers.co.uk/Plus X ➡️ https://plusx.space/Produced by H2 Productions ➡️ https://h2productions.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.
