This special episode of Magic Hour Podcast takes us to the floor of Web Summit 2026 for a collection of candid, on-the-ground conversations about marketing, new media, and the creator economy.

I asked founders to ride the escalator with me and answer one question about their industry in under one minute, just as long as it takes to reach the bottom. Through these quick, on-the-spot interviews, we explore what’s changing right now. How people are earning attention, building community, telling stories, partnering with brands, and navigating platforms (and AI) in real time.

Part recap, part trend report, part love letter to the builders in the room, this episode highlights the voices and ideas shaping where marketing and media are headed next.

• Victoria Cowan, Founder of Wordplay Creative
• Nina Bader, Manager of Water at Foresight Canada
