Dr. Joanne Archbold on Turning Business History Into a Marketing Superpower | Founders Future

In this episode of Founders Future (powered by closes.io), host Olivia Salmons speaks with Dr. Joanne Archbold, founder and principal consultant of Livy Consulting, about how companies can leverage their history and heritage to create narrative, connection, and engagement. Joanne shares her early passion for history, her work at Historic Canada producing Heritage Minutes, her move into marketing at a major Canadian law firm, and how a cancer diagnosis influenced her decision to pursue a PhD in Canadian Political and Military History and build her consultancy. She explains the overlap between historical research and marketing through storytelling, her shift toward helping Canadian businesses differentiate themselves amid North American geopolitical tension, and how she turns archival materials into assets like lobby displays, social campaigns, LinkedIn series, and talks for employees and partners. Joanne discusses customer acquisition through personal networks and LinkedIn thought leadership, plans to expand outreach with co-op business students and future advertising, and her vision to scale by hiring historians as academic job opportunities shrink. She also addresses AI’s limits in historical work due to the physical nature of archives and the need for critical evaluation and narrative building.
