About Unmade

Unmade was started by former Mumbrella founder Tim Burrowes in 2021 and has become an essential newsletter for media and marketing professionals - hungry to understand not just what happened, but where we go from here.

Unmade delivers in-depth, opinionated analysis, informed by unrivaled industry contacts and expertise.

Published daily six days a week, with a podcast twice a week, Unmade’s audience is among the most senior and engaged in the industry.

Throughout the year, Unmade convenes its influential audience at several curated events: REmade, humAIn, and Compass. The events have established engaged communities of like-minded professionals. Additionally, Unmade celebrates the industry's achievements with the annual REmade awards.

Unmade offers readers, advertisers and sponsors valuable opportunities for connection and cut-through in an uncluttered environment, combined with the most up-to-date database on offer.

The name is inspired by Tim’s best selling1 first book, ‘Media Unmade’, published by Hardie Grant Books in 2021.

TimBot

TimBot is Unmdes AI-driven media expert. He bases his information on the contents of my book Media Unmade and the last two years of Unmade’s archive.

You’ll find TimBot at timbot.ai

Before you try him out, let me share some BIG caveats.

First: TimBot is a prototype. Sometimes he breaks. If he does so in an interesting way, please send us a screenshot to Cat McGinn.

Second: Because TimBot’s computing power is driven by elements of both ChatGPT-3.5 and the recently updated ChatGPT-4, he can be slow, particularly when America is awake.

Three: As an AI tool, TimBot records and stores transcripts of your conversations. This means any information you put into the chat, including personal information, is logged. The data you upload may be used for training future versions of the AI model. When you visit, use, or interact with the service, we receive the following information about your visit, use, or interactions, including your Internet Protocol address, browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, and how you interact with our website.
