In this episode of The Video Marketing Toolkit, I sit down with Joanne Tryner.

Business owner, bid writer, and all-around powerhouse, to talk about how bids and tenders can unlock growth for your business. We dive into Joanne’s journey: from running her own business and writing successful bids, to stepping out of her comfort zone and getting in front of the camera to grow her brand online.

It’s a real and honest conversation about business, marketing, mindset, and the power of putting yourself out there. We also talk about:

What bids and tenders actually are

How they work behind the scenes

Why they’re such a valuable (and often overlooked) tool for small businesses

What it’s like learning to show up on video when it doesn’t come naturally

If you’re a business owner who’s ever thought, “I should really apply for more funding or contracts,” this episode is for you.

🎙 Hosted by me, Dan Dennis.

In this episode of The Video Marketing Toolkit, Dan Dennis from Daniel Dennis Media sits down with long-time friend and retail media expert Benjamin Goode, Branding and Communications Manager of Co-op Media Network, to unpack one of the innovative areas in retail marketing: retail media.

We dive into:

• What retail media actually is.

• How it’s changing the way brands advertise.

• What the Co-op Media Network is doing to support suppliers and partners.

• Why first-party data and in-store touchpoints are becoming the next big thing.

Ben and Dan have been mates for over a decade. They grew up together, went to uni together, ran businesses side-by-side, and even shared office jobs before finding their own paths.

This chat is part deep-dive into marketing, part walk down memory lane, and full of lessons for anyone in marketing, media, or retail today.
