Author: SocialChain March 19, 2025 Duration: 30:14

For years, Primark thrived without an online presence, but post-pandemic, that had to change. In this episode, Kymberley Thomson, senior global social media and community manager at Primark, takes us through the retailer's social evolution - from having no ecommerce channel to building an engaged digital audience.

Find out how to adapt a bricks and mortar retail strategy for online conversations, why community isn't just a nice-to-have, and the role social plays in new product development and overarching campaigns. If you want to understand how retail brands can win on social without selling online, this one's for you.


Hosted by Eve from SocialChain, SocialMinds-A Social Media Marketing Podcast pulls back the curtain on how major brands actually operate online. It’s less about theory and more about the tangible strategies discussed directly with the people executing them. You’ll hear candid conversations with marketing leads from organisations like Ryanair, Formula 1, and Innocent Drinks, where they share what works, what doesn’t, and the lessons learned along the way. Alongside these in-depth interviews, the podcast delivers straightforward, no-nonsense breakdowns of the latest platform changes and algorithm updates that you need to know about. The aim is to demystify the daily realities of social media management, transforming overwhelming trends into practical steps you can apply. This approach has made it a top-rated resource for professionals who want to move beyond the hype. Tuning into this podcast feels like gaining a direct line to the industry’s inner circle, offering a blend of high-level case studies and essential news without the filter. It’s designed for marketers who prefer their insights actionable and their advice grounded in real-world campaigns, all delivered with a conversational tone that avoids jargon. If you’re looking to understand the mechanics behind memorable social campaigns, this series provides a consistent source of clarity and inspiration.
