About Alun

The journalist who decided to stop broadcasting and start thinking out loud.

I spent four decades reporting for major international networks — politics, business, personal transformations, from boardrooms in New York to conflict zones in places most people can't find on a map.

What I found is that the best stories are rarely the ones that make the news. They are the ones about how people build things, protect things, and occasionally walk away from things at exactly the right moment.

That is what this newsletter is. Business intelligence written the way a journalist writes it — specific, sourced, and without the hype.

Published from my home in the Mediterranean. Written for founders, operators, and people who want to understand what is actually happening in business.
What you'll read

Forty years of reporting. No filler.

This is not a newsletter about what the headlines say. It is about what they leave out.

Founder Stories

One entrepreneur. One business. Examined properly. Not a hagiography — a reported account of how something was built, from the decision that started it to the ones that nearly ended it.

Business Case Studies

Deep dives into how companies actually work — the decisions, the numbers, and the mechanisms others miss. Not the mythology. The evidence.

Founder Strategy

Counter-intuitive lessons from businesses that built something lasting. Why some companies compound and others stall — drawn from the record, not from the press release.

The Business Code

One company. Five counter-intuitive rules. Extracted from how it actually operates — not from its marketing, its mission statement, or its founder's memoir.

Digital Growth

What is working in online publishing, email, and marketing — reported from inside, by someone who has operated in all three. Specific tools, real numbers, no theory.

The Intelligence On AI

AI is moving faster than the coverage. Every week: what has actually changed, what it means for anyone running a business, and what is not worth your time yet.

Marketing That Actually Works

Not trends. Not tactics that look good in a slide deck. The underlying principles — from 40 years of watching campaigns succeed and fail, and from what is working right now.

The Long View

Forty years of watching trends arrive and depart gives a different perspective on what deserves attention now. The analysis you will not find in a 48-hour news cycle.

One journalist. Fifty countries. Thirty-two businesses.

Alun Hill does not write like anyone else in the newsletter space. He writes like a journalist. Which means he has actually done the research.
