Pitch Lab

Pitch Lab brings Merrick Creative’s Tom Frank and communication strategist Jackie Hampton together to spotlight CEOs and founders in the middle of the real work—launching products, scaling brands, and raising capital. No fluff. No buzzword bingo. Just sharp conversations about what it actually takes to stand out.

Tom and Jackie dig into the origin stories, quirks, challenges, and ambitions behind emerging brands—then flip the script. The conversation becomes the raw material for a fast, punchy 30-second content piece designed to cut through noise and stick in people’s heads.

Part brand workshop, part performance, Pitch Lab is where big ideas meet bold storytelling, strategic messaging, and just enough humor to make serious ambition unforgettable.
