The race to see who will make it to number one in the UK Christmas charts has always been a hotly contested battle. But by 2009, Simon Cowell’s X Factor winners were the dominant force, with four consecutive wins under their belt.

Enter Jon Morter, a social media hellraiser who was out to cause chaos in the charts. Using every social media trick in the book, Jon inspired a movement which toppled the X Factor from its number one spot and catapulted a 1992 Rage Against the Machine single right to the top. Since then, Jon has used the power of social media to achieve more chart success, campaign against the closure of BBC Radio 6 station and influence polls for a popular fast food outlet.

In this episode, Jon reveals his secrets behind using social media to influence popular opinion, how his campaigns have got the attention of Foo Fighters front-man Dave Grohl, and his advice on whether brands should be taking more social media risks to achieve content success.
