Michael started his career as a copywriter before becoming a contestant on Big Brother and then a breakfast radio host before joining then start-up Koala. In this chat, Michael talks about the benefits of an internal creative team vs an agency approach, how to use data to free up creativity and how to stay on top of culture and trends to avoid middle aged bitterness.

Peter Sheppard Footwear pride themselves on delivering their customers the perfect fit. Unfortunately this didn’t apply for their own eCommerce technology. Stuck on a niche legacy platform, it took the Peter Sheppard team up to 24 hours to make simple changes. It’s not quick enough in today’s eCommerce fast paced world. Enter Shopify Plus. Peter Sheppard migrated to Shopify Plus including a full pos migration, reliable media library and an automated recording suite, oh and did I mention? Instant updates. As a result, Peter Sheppard tripled their conversion rate and increase eCommerce revenue by 30%. Talk about some nimble footwork.

Just like the quest to find the perfect pair of jeans, finding eco friendly packaging solutions that are a great fit and cost effective can be a tiresome pursuit. Eco-friendly and zero waste product brand, Ekoroo were having this exact problem. Multiple suppliers. Clunky packaging. Inefficient processes. That is until they found Signet and their adjustable cartons which allow them to adjust to the size of the shipment while remaining environmentally friendly. What a snug fit.
