Episode 157 / Rebecca Dibb-Simkin / Octopus Energy Group / Global Director of Product & Marketing

Rebecca Dibb-Simkin is the Global Director of Product & Marketing at the Octopus Energy Group, combining the origination of products with the marketing and having an end-to-end experience of the energy contracts the brand offers consumers. Without having planned a marketing career from the very beginning, Rebecca moved into the industry after having been seduced by an Ogilvy graduate scheme ad. She then became quite critical of what marketing is, shaped a different sort of role, and now her Shiny New Object is "all marketing jargon should go in room 101." Listen to why that's the case in our first episode of 2022!
