Today I'm happy to present to you today my interview with one of Australia’s leading marketing experts Mr. Tim Reid.

Tim’s an authority on marketing as well as a bit of a celebrity in the podcasting world. He runs his own very informative marketing show called “Small Business Big Marketing, which I strongly suggest you go and check out.

So in this interview I just thought it would be cool to have a casual chat with Tim and pick his brains on marketing topics. 

During the conversation we discuss things like:

What is Marketing, the difference between concepts like Publicity, Promotion, Public relations and Advertising. Not to mention publicity stunts and marketing strategies.
