Covid was a time of flux for every business. While some businesses flourished and scaled to new heights, others were landlocked (literally) by lockdowns. So how do you future proof a business, when the future is unclear?  

In this inspiring episode of Flex Your Hustle, Michelle Lomas speaks to Dave Simmons, Strategic Advisor at Jucy. Jucy was founded in New Zealand in 2001 by Tim and Dan Alpe, two brothers on a mission to make traveling and adventure accessible to everyone. JUCY is a car and campervan hire business, iconic for their green vans and fun brand.  But when Covid hit, the borders shut down, our doors closed to the outside world, and the devastation to the tourism industry started.  And that’s where our next guest Dave Simmons comes in. The founders knew that they were in a unique situation, and needed to think fast. So Dave was brought onto the business to make sense of their current situation, drive necessary organisational change and help Jucy come through the other side. And that they did.

Is it just us or.....is marketing getting a little dull? We are a bit over hearing the same old voices selling us the same old spin about how they’re going to drive awareness, build reach… but not doing anything for client business.  Where creativity used to dominate, it just feels… well… kinda predictable. Ads have lost their jazz, data drives creative and media plans… Google, Facebook, Amazon, Linkedin - rinse and repeat.  

It’s time for marketing to get a hustle on .....and that is where the 'Flex Your Hustle' podcast by Commission Factory comes in!

Hosted by marketing consultant, content expert and General Manager of Ampel Michelle Lomas, 'Flex Your Hustle' will introduce you to amazing marketers that you have probably never heard of. The ones who had zero marketing experience and managed to build multi-million dollar businesses by hustling. The little e-comm side hustle that made millions in their first year selling socks, or the local beauty brand who has just cracked the global market. 

How did they do it? What did they learn along the way?  It’s all about the hustle.  

Join us each week to be inspired by these success stories who share one thing in common, they did marketing differently.
