Document, rather than create and Alex Payne, The Room - building a marketing tech business

In this episode, we kick off by talking about why sometimes it’s better to document rather than think of a new idea from scratch. Anyone who has heard, watched or read anything by marketer Gary Vaynerchuk, will know that content is all around us and telling compelling stories doesn’t have to be complex. 

Our guest this week, is probably best known for his career as a sports broadcaster, Alex Payne although on most weeks can be found co-hosting the top Rugby Podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby with James Haskell and Mike Tindall, in 2017 he founded The Room. In this episode he talks about how the idea of The Room came about - many of the best ideas have a link to Twitter it seems, and what it means to start a tech business in the marketing industry.
