5Q5M - A brand new interview series

We are excited to be rolling out a brand new video interview series "5Q5M". The series is brought to you jointly by The Marketing Society, AURA and Trinity McQueen.

This brand-new content series is hosted by Paul Barrow with guests who are playing at the top of their game. From CEOs to scientists and actors to leading experts in marketing.

Each guest will be asked 5 questions in the space of 5 minutes and the topics are not necessarily work focussed. They provide a brief insight into the minds and lives of each subject. Once a month a new interview will be published and we will be sharing them here as well as on our member-only platform Coffeehouse where you can discuss the interviews and insights from the guests.
