In this episode, Jack Cully joins me to break down how Granola turned a familiar year-in-review format into a deeply shareable campaign that spread fast across tech workers and generated millions of organic impressions. Jack is part of the team behind Granola, the AI meeting notes tool people genuinely love using, and before that he was one of the earliest marketers at Monzo, helping shape one of the most recognisable brands in UK FinTech.Jack shares why the campaign worked so well, starting with the fact that Granola already solved a real problem people cared about.Instead of forcing a trend onto the product, the team used real meeting data to create something funny, personal, and instantly recognisable. We get into how they built the experience, why it felt so shareable, and what made users want to post it rather than just look at it.We also talk about the details that made the campaign land. That includes how Granola balanced personalization with privacy, why launch timing mattered, and how hands-on social engagement helped turn momentum into something much bigger. More importantly, we unpack how the campaign shifted brand perception, moving Granola beyond a useful tool and into something people felt understood their working lives.We close with a messaging critique of Lovable and their line, “Some ideas are too loud to ignore,” including where the campaign is strong and where it could go further. The bigger takeaway from the episode is simple: the best campaigns do not come from chasing trends.
