Adam Bub: Be your own brand hero & do things that terrify you!

Adam Bub: Be your own brand hero & do things that terrify you!

Author: Piccolo Podcasts March 29, 2023 Duration: 1:01:38
If there is anyone who understands the dance between brand strategy, the power of authentic storytelling and content production, and what audiences want, it’s my guest for this episode, Adam Bub. Head of Commercial Media at leading digital media and TV production company Pinstripe Media by day, social media influencer by night, and doer of cryptic crosswords in all the moments in between, Adam Bub has built an impressive 15-year career with major news sites including Nine Digital and Mamamia (interviewing the likes of Kim Kardashian, Hugh Jackman, Will Smith, and Demi Lovato) and crafted content campaigns in partnership with hundreds of Australia's leading brands. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Adam before. He directed me as the ‘talent’ on Kochie’s Business Builders TV and he really makes being on camera a relaxed and fun experience. In this episode of Influence Unlocked we cover a lot of ground, from what makes a good story (the ‘human factor’) and why it’s so important to ‘become your own brand PR hero’, to Adam’s evolution from shy teenager, coming to terms with his sexuality and whose choicest piece of career advice is simply: do things that terrify you. So, if you are a business owner or public relations professional wanting to better understand what makes a good pitch, or an aspiring content creator wanting a peek into the world of someone who has grown their own personal brand alongside an exciting career both in front of and behind the camera like a boss, listen in. There’s something for everyone in this episode!

Influence Unlocked, from Piccolo Podcasts, pulls back the curtain on the real work of building a name that matters. This isn't about quick hacks or surface-level success stories. Instead, each conversation ventures into the nuanced landscape of modern influence, examining the deliberate strategies and personal philosophies that shape Australia's most respected entrepreneurs and leaders. You'll hear the unvarnished details-the pivotal failures, the tough decisions behind the scenes, and the moments of clarity that defined a career. The podcast focuses on the intersection of public relations, personal branding, and authentic leadership, exploring how these elements combine to create a genuine and lasting impact. It’s for anyone curious about the substance behind the public image, offering a candid look at the craft of reputation and the weight of influence. Tune in for thoughtful, in-depth dialogues that move well past the press releases and into the heart of what drives meaningful success in business and beyond.
