We take a deeper look at the branded vehicle offering from Graffiti to see what works and the process of wrapping a vehicle and what you need to know.

We found out more about the Daily Maverick, the changes over the years, the importance of editorial and the learnings from their app. We also focussed on how local publishing models need to change and innovate in order to be profitable, and Styli's advice on what you need to know when starting out an online publishing platform.

Then last, but not least we were joined in studio by Nic Haralambous (@nicharry), founder of www.nicharry.com to chat about all things e-commerce, social media and start-up life.
