Land and Deliver Episode 1 Don't let compliance get in the way of the creative

Episode 1: Don’t Let Compliance Get in the Way of the Creative | Land and Deliver
In the very first episode of Land and Deliver, Darren Wingham and Louise Chandler tackle a challenge that frustrates organisations everywhere: how to create powerful, human communication in heavily regulated environments — without compliance killing the creativity.
Using real-world examples from broadcasting, finance, healthcare and corporate communications (including a high-profile BBC editing controversy), Darren and Louise unpack why compliance exists, how it can go wrong, and — crucially — how it can become a creative ally rather than an obstacle.
You’ll be introduced to the ECO framework — a practical, experience-led approach to messaging that helps your communications land and deliver action:
E — Early: Bring compliance into the process early, not at the last minute
C — Clear: Strip out jargon and complexity so your message is instantly understood
O — Only what’s needed: Say enough to move people — not so much that the message disappears
If you work in marketing, communications, leadership, HR, finance, healthcare, housing, or any regulated sector, this episode will help you:
Avoid “emotionally invisible” messaging
Reduce friction with legal and compliance teams
Create messages that people actually remember, trust, and act on
🎧 Land and Deliver is the podcast for people who care about saying the right thing and making it matter.
