0:51load of content which we can use for the
0:53launch coming up. And then I have a
0:56dinner tonight which is part of the crew
0:59capital investment dinner with the likes
1:02of Google Striper there uh Nvidia loads
1:07of amazing amazing companies and it's
1:09part of my master plan and the plan is
1:12in fact I'll tell you the plan later
1:13when I'm at the podcast studio but I can
1:16see here like Amy's filming me
1:19[Music]
1:25Well, well, well. I left you in Cardiff
1:29eating this and I find you in London
1:30eating this.
1:32>> Hello, CMO.
1:32>> I'm not taking any this time for the
1:34fridge.
1:34>> See you.
1:35>> You've grown a new mustache since I've
1:36last seen you.
1:37>> Looks like Pablo Escobar.
What is clip farming?
1:39>> All right, Hugo, explain to me what
1:41we're about to do, sir.
1:42>> About to go film a podcast. Well, not a
1:45podcast. Kind of a podcast.
1:47More clip farming than we're doing.
1:49>> Clip farming. Yeah,
1:50>> that's a new term.
1:52>> My turn, huh?
1:53>> Yeah, I like that.
1:55>> Okay, peers.
1:57>> That sounded so weird, didn't it?
1:59>> Pier, talk to us about what we're about
2:01to do. Hugo says we're clip farming. Is
2:03that correct?
2:04>> I've swayed against the clip farming
2:06process.
2:07>> We're pretty We're having a real heated
2:09discussion here in the uh Tripfi HQ. Has
Launch content strategy
2:12come has risen above his station if I'm
2:14honest and is dictating things
2:18>> that are not involving him. No. So
2:20basically we are obviously doing a big
2:22launch for workflows and everything that
2:24some people might have heard of, but
2:26instead of click farming, I wanted to
2:27angle this more towards that launch like
2:29actually spend money, you know, for
2:30something that's going to be useful
2:31rather than just randomly testing a sort
2:33of LinkedIn strategy that isn't actually
2:34proven. So the idea of it is to get a
2:37big well I'm calling it at the moment
2:39I'm calling it the big fat podcast big
2:41fat launch podcast which is just going
2:43to be you know we can release on launch
2:45or the week before as something to you
2:46know start hyping up but we can also we
2:49kind of tailored where we want to go
2:51with it obviously to hopefully answer
2:53questions people has have talk about the
2:57industry a bit more and make it like
2:58generally interesting and through that
3:00we can then generate clips because
3:02there's actual valuable content not just
3:03randomly asking questions
3:05and having kind of robotic arms.
3:07[Music]
3:12Here we are looking pretty bougie. I
Studio tour + filming setup
3:15would say this is going to be cool.
3:16We're going to get some good content
3:17today. The behind the scenes of
3:19everything that we're filming. Uh what's
3:21really cool is we have all of these
3:23cameras here.
3:26>> Serious setup. So yeah, I'm pretty
3:28excited about this. We're going to get
3:29some good content.
3:31>> All right, we're about to go live. Hugo,
3:34>> sorry I fil.
3:35>> He's filming on the film.
3:36>> I'm filming on the film. Yeah,
3:37>> we're about to go live. Great setup.
3:39I've kind of given you the preview here,
3:41but what we got? Two hours planned.
3:43>> Two hours planned.
3:44>> Uh questions.
3:45>> A lot of questions. I think this could
3:47be the start of a monthly trip down to
3:52um London. Get in your little booth,
3:54Pizzy. Let's Let's show
3:55>> Yeah, let's show everyone your cupboard.
3:57>> Let's show your cupboard. He's like
3:58Harry Potter and we put him away in the
4:00cupboard. Where is he? There he is.
4:02Look, he's in there.
4:03>> Today, podcast studio. Tomorrow.
4:05>> Look at this. By day, he's a SAS
4:09marketer. By night, he's a DJ. There's
4:11Hugo.
4:13>> What's this, though? This says, look,
4:14here we go. Oh,
4:15>> he's on air.
4:17>> On air.
New podcast format test
4:26>> Just finished. Um, that was really good.
4:29uh 2 hours of just solid chat.
4:32>> Solid chat.
4:33>> It was Yeah, it was all primarily
4:35focused on the launch. But the I think
4:36the really interesting thing that we're
4:38going to try is we've done highquality
4:40content before. We know that raw content
4:43works really well. We also know that
4:45we've seen like it's tough one because
4:47really good quality does work. But the
4:49difference that we've done here now is
4:51we've tried out basically a new format
4:53which is having like me and Hugo. So
4:56like two people in a in the shot. So it
5:00like it's like more of a relaxed high
5:03quality approach rather than just like
5:05your face doing a shot. So that'd be
5:07interesting to see that style.
5:08>> Yeah.
5:11[Music]
Crew Capital dinner
5:19>> Okay. So we changed. We had a nice
5:22little shower. Uh we had a nice little
5:25swim and jacuzzi in the pool and what
5:29we're doing now is we are off to a
5:32dinner with Crew Capital which is a
5:34investment firm. Now at this dinner it's
5:38an AI uh engineering leadership dinner
5:41uh which is going to be really cool
5:42because there are some incredible people
5:43there from Nvidia through to Stripe
5:46through to um Google AI through to loads
5:49of different people basically. Anyway,
5:50the the master plan is is one to gain
5:54interest with Crew Capital because I
5:56think they would be a great investment
5:57firm to potentially work with and the
6:00other is they have a close relationship
6:02with a chap called Harry Stebings which
6:05is the founder of the 20 VC podcast and
6:08he owns a 400 mil fund who I think would
6:11also be a really good fit with us given
6:14there's a natural synergy between his
6:17like media kind of empire that he's
6:20and obviously trigger fire with social
6:21listening as well. And so the plan is to
6:24go create the connection with crew
6:26capital generate interest there and then
6:28try and use their connection to get an
6:29intro with Harry as well
6:34and we want you.
AI Summit + CEO meetups
6:40>> All right guys, well what a busy busy
6:43day. You would have seen obviously from
6:45the clips some of the talks that we had
6:47at the AI summit. some amazing talks. We
6:49had the Uber CEO, we had the Figma uh
6:53CEO, we had Lovable CEO, we had Granola
6:56CEO. I mean, we had so many incredible
6:58CEOs there. Now, did I execute my master
7:00plan to chat to Harry Stebings? No. Uh I
7:03wasn't able to chat to him. However, the
7:05dinner that I had prior that to that,
7:07which was the night before with Crew
7:09Capital, was very successful. got a a
7:12couple of calls lined up out of the back
7:13of that, including hopefully a call with
7:15Crew Capital, of which they're very
7:18close to Harry and so I think we're
7:19going to have an introduction made
7:20there, which is really exciting. also
7:22bumped in today to my old uh CEO from
7:26Melwater as well and had a great chat
7:28with him to talk talked him through, you
7:30know, all the social stuff that we're
7:31doing with uh Sugarfy. And we're going
7:33to have some further chats there as well
7:35because I think there's some potential
7:37like overlap there between what he's now
7:39doing with his new company and also what
Final thoughts + next steps
7:42we're doing when it comes to embeddings
7:44and contextualizing social data as well.
7:47So, all in all, it's been uh yeah, just
7:50an incredibly positive positive couple
7:53of days. I am knackered. Last night, I
7:54didn't go to bed till 1ish because the
7:57dinner over overlapped and the time now
7:58is 10:00 and I'm only just getting back
8:00to the hotel. A lot of doors opened, a
8:03lot of contacts made, and the future I
8:05think is looking pretty exciting and
8:06pretty bright for Trigger. So, plan now,
8:09uh bedtime. Check out the view. Like,
8:11this is pretty cool. If you've not been
8:12to Bad Power Station. Wow. Yeah, we go.
8:16bedtime uh now and then work in the
8:20morning for a few hours. Train is at
8:222:00, so just basically crack on. I got
8:24a lot of emails, a lot of stuff to catch
8:26up on, a lot of ideas to map out and
8:28start getting in place. Um I will maybe
8:31do a bit of filming tomorrow, but
8:32otherwise, hope you enjoyed that vlog.
8:34That was a busy one.
