About ‘Up, Up and Away’
Let’s cut through the noise. This isn’t your typical marketing podcast filled with buzzwords and fluff. We deliver unfiltered insights, actionable tactics, and straight talk specifically for the restaurant and hospitality tech world.
Meet the Minds Behind the Mic:
-
Arun AV: He’s the Founder & CEO of Qubriux and Skellam AI. Think deep tech, data obsession, and a laser focus on making loyalty and AI genuinely work for restaurants, not just sound cool. He brings the systems, the data-driven perspective, and the “how-it-actually-gets-built” reality check.
-
Rev Ciancio: This is your restaurant marketing strategist who’s been deep in the trenches. Rev has seen it all, isn’t afraid to call BS when he sees it, and knows what truly moves the needle in this industry. He brings the street smarts, the marketing hustle, and the unfiltered industry perspective.
Why Tune In?
Expect a potent (and sometimes spicy) mix: Arun’s technical and loyalty expertise colliding with Rev’s no-nonsense marketing savvy. We tackle the real challenges, debate the latest trends, and give you the tactics you need to win. No complex theories, just the stuff that works.
