About this listen

In this episode, Ben Hunt speaks with Rob Pownall, Founder and CEO of Protect the Wild, to mark the 10-year anniversary of the organisation's founding. What began as a Facebook page to resist fox hunting has grown into one of the UK’s most impactful wildlife protection groups, blending bold media strategy with grassroots activism.

We explore:

  • Rob’s unexpected journey from teenager to full-time campaigner
  • The evolution of Protect the Wild and the anti-hunt movement
  • How animations became their most powerful tool for change
  • Why storytelling, data, and digital strategy matter in animal rights
  • The psychology behind why animations connect with audiences
