Mumbrellacast: Chris Howatson, Tajer is back, plus Dan Monheit checks in from SXSW

After 30 sessions and five BIG days, Hardhat’s time at #SXSW is coming to an end. Tune in to today’s Mumbrellacast to hear Hardhat’s Dan Monheit’s fill you in on the weird and wonderful highlights from the week.

Hardhat’s Dan Monheit dials in from South by South West in Texas to give his insights, takes, and highlights of the interactive festival so far, as well as looking ahead to the return of industry events this year in Australia.

With ex-Dentsu and Mediabrands CEO, Henry Tajer, last week joining influencer marketing agency, The Influence Group as CEO, the team spoke with Tajer on his move, as well as Hypetap’s Mike Wilson. The team also looks at the emerging space, and why industry heavyweights such as Tajer, Wilson, and Andrew Baxter have joined it in recent months, as well as providing an update on the Therapeutic Goods Administration changing its regulation on wellness product marketing.

Finally, just after the agency’s one-year anniversary, founder and CEO of Howatson + Company, Chris Howatson joins the podcast, to discuss progress to date, new hires settling in, how past relationships are coming to fruition, industry innovation, and the state of the creative industry.
