Polly Hammond

Having produced over 100 podcasts in less than three years, Polly Hammond rings in 2024 with the launch of her fourth series, Headtraining. A long time ago (yes, in a galaxy far far way), Polly graduated from USC with degrees in International Relations and French. Those studies led to a deep and abiding love affair
with Behavioural Economics, and nowadays her work is based on all the crazy and
irrational reasons consumers engage with brands. (Heads up, she’s a big fan of 
pop culture, so any interview is sure to have at least one Star Wars reference
thrown in.) In the past few years, Polly has been regularly invited to speak on topics of 
empathy, accessibility, sustainability, and growth at Wine2Wine, the World 
Bulk Wine Conference, Oregon Wine Symposium, Moldovan Competitiveness Project 
Digital Workshops, OenoCo Intl Wine Economic Forum, Wine Media Conferences
...oh and a whole bunch more. On top of all that, Polly is lucky enough to wake up each day and work 
with one of the most talented digital development teams working with 
ecommerce businesses today. Since its inception as a tiny studio that
thought "maybe we can make a difference," her agency 5forests has 
grown into a globally-recognized, award-winning digital marketing 
agency working with some of America's top brands.
