"Have you had your Weetabix?" is an iconic ad slogan as any. But post-pandemic, though Weetabix had become part of online conversations, it wasn't necessarily translating to consumers' shopping baskets. In this episode, Lorraine Rothwell, head of marketing at Weetabix, shares the story of how the brand reconnected with its core demographic while remaining relevant to younger audiences. Discover how social informed ad creative, the power of nostalgia in marketing, and how Weetabix continues to surprise and delight without losing its heritage roots. 


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.

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.
