Introducing Spark Off! Our brand-new podcast coming soon

Stories, memories, laughter. Client work, social issues, passion projects. Art, illustration, photography. Our programmes and processes, favourite campaigns and team dynamics… The Spark Off podcast covers all these topics and more.

More? Oh, you know, roast potatoes, live music, running, renovations, Shrek, octopuses, mountains, songwriting, tattooing, willies, poo, dogs, that sort of thing.

Get ready to supercharge your creativity with our brand-new podcast, Spark Off, where we have chilled out conversations with our awesome Alive team about who we are, what we love and what fuels our creativity.

 

What, why, when?!

At Alive, we believe ideas and inspiration are everywhere, waiting in unexpected corners of unexpected places, nestled in amongst the chaos of our day to day. This belief ties us together, but we all have vastly different experiences of it. Each of us has a unique way of creating, learning, developing, communicating, working and wondering.

Have a listen to our lively episodes to find out who…

  • Uses drawing to communicate, unwind and play
  • Gets super excited about bar menus and signposts
  • Found their voice by learning about potentially challenging topics like sexual health and gender equity
  • Sees their creativity as a store cupboard, stocked up by different experiences and interests
  • Would love to write the ‘over-thinkers survival guide for an under-thinking world’
  • Takes pride in perfection
  • Suggests we should open our hearts to ugly ceramics and crap pottery
  • Is sh*t hot at colouring inside the lines!

Our podcast is hosted by Alive’s good friend Zoe Hanson, also known as the Podcast Lady. At every meeting and recording session, she instantly put us at ease, bringing her vibrant, welcoming, and wonderful personality and professional skills to the table, ensuring every conversation is full of surprises.

If you’re up for a spark of creativity and illuminating ideas, then subscribe and listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

The first episode with Kat is landing 2nd October.

Let’s Spark Off each other on LinkedIn and Instagram, we’d love to hear your musings and favourite moments.

Love, team Alive x

“I feel like they own and care for the project as much as we do! I would not use anyone else for my creative work and think Alive is ahead of the game.”

Jo Hobbs | Communications Manager

“Alive wowed us during the pitch process and they didn’t stop wowing us throughout the whole project. Every person we worked with at Alive were so friendly, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they do. They have worked with us to really understand what we do and have created a new brand and website that really stands out from our competitors. Thank you!”

Louise Burnard, Head of Marketing and Communications UK — Be | Shaping the Future

As part of our team, Alive armed us with everything we needed. We didn’t have to do all the thinking and driving – Alive did this for us.”
