In this episode, host Ben Norman is joined in Marketing Room 101 by legendary creative, Trevor Robinson OBE, founder of both Quiet Storm and Create Not Hate.

From sofa surfing around London trying to break into the creative world to receiving an OBE for services to advertising and diversity, Trevor’s career is extraordinary and his insight invaluable.

As a creative, Trevor has created highly entertaining and far reaching work that’s almost certainly made anybody reading this laugh at some point – from the iconic ‘You’ve been Tango’d’ campaign to Haribo’s kid’s voices.

He makes the case that these, and most other great campaigns, wouldn’t exist without faith in creativity, and therefore banishes fear from the industry.
