In this episode of Podcasting Smarter, we're sharing an interview from Podbean's Corporate Podcasting Smarter series.

Podbean's Head of Events, Norma Jean Belenky speaks with Mike Maynard and Nesbert Musuwo of Napier B2B.

Mike is the Managing Director/CEO of Napier, a $7M PR and marketing agency for B2B technology companies. He is a self-confessed geek who loves talking about technology. He believes that combining the measurement, accountability, and innovation that he learned as an engineer with a passion for communicating internationally means Napier can help clients achieve their marketing goals sooner. Mike acquired Napier in 2001 and subsequently acquired Peter Bush Communications and Armitage Communication, growing the company to about 40 people today. Since that time, he has directed major PR and marketing programs for a wide range of global technology clients, reaching over 30 European countries.

Mike offers a unique blend of technical and marketing expertise and was awarded a Masters Degree in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from the University of Surrey and an MBA from Kingston University. Mike began his career as an electronics design engineer, working for companies ranging from GEC-Marconi to DDA, developing products from complex radar systems to Kim Wilde’s mixing desk. Mike later joined IDT Inc, an American semiconductor company, making his move into marketing when he switched from European Applications Manager to European Marketing Manager.

Nesbert is an Account Manager and has marketing managerial experience dealing with high-net worth clients in a supercar business selling Bugatti’s, Lamborghini’s and Ferrari’s. Nesbert joined the team in 2019, with 6 years of marketing experience and a First-Class Honors Degree in Business Management with Marketing.

Nesbert is responsible for growing social media platforms to an incredible level with phenomenal following and engagement, e-mail marketing campaigns, events management, website content writing and more. Originally from Zimbabwe, Nesbert speaks two fluent languages, and is a passionate and energetic member of the Napier team with a keen eye for detail.
