Tim Duggan is a new media entrepreneur and has been described as the “oldest millennial in the world”, cofounding several digital media ventures in his 20-year career, most notably Junkee Media, Australia’s leading millennial digital publisher. He recently stood back from Junkee Media to focus on writing and launching his first book, Cult Status.

We talk to Tim about his journey from mailroom to media leader and his encounters with every facet of the industry along the way, the sometimes-b**t of brand purpose and what it takes to build a brand that people adore.

Advent is produced and recorded in the studios of DDB Sydney, on the land of the Gadigal people of the Eora nation. We pay our respects to Elders, past, present and emerging.

Editing and mixing for Advent is done by Andy Stewart, with production support from Emily Wood. Editorial guidance and research comes from Lindsay Bennett. Alex Watts hosts Advent, and wrote this in third person.
