In this episode of 5to9, I had a chat with Farah Sheikh-Ogoe, a brand manager at META, co-founder of NOTES International, a community of Black and brown people who love natural wine, vibey tunes, global travel and the intersection of all 3, and a lover of all things food, fashion, community and connection.Farrah's had quite a non-linear career. She started off as a content manager in the agency world at Ogilvy, then went to the non-profit at Do Something for a few years then back to the agency world as a producer at Big Spaceship. She then spent a few years at Squarespace on their brand team and had a stint at JP Morgan, Peloton and Vivino, an online wine market place. Along the way, she freelanced and had multiple side projects such as Feed & Foster, a peer mentorship dinner for women of color and Notes International.With each step, Farrah has deliberately chosen to pursue work that fuels her creativity and aligns with her values, always being intentional on what it is that she needs and wants next and building a career that is uniquely hers.We talked about the power of taking a non-linear path, the lessons she's learned from shifting industries, balancing a full-time role with passion projects, how they impact each other, and redefining what success looks like beyond a 9-to-5.Here is Farah Sheikh-Ogoe for 5to9.

Stacey Zimmerman serves as Managing Director at Big Spaceship, where she focuses on deepening client relationships, growing the agency at large, and leading the Account Management discipline. Her passion lies in helping client partners work collaboratively with their agency partners, underscoring how collaboration leads to the most impactful work. We discussed all of this and more this week on the On Brand podcast. About Stacey Zimmerman Stacey Zimmerman serves as Managing Director at Big Spaceship, where she focuses on deepening client relationships, growing the agency at large, and leading the Account Management discipline. Her passion lies in helping client partners work collaboratively with their agency partners, underscoring how collaboration leads to the most impactful work. Nurturing diverse teams, Stacey helps provide education and opportunities to aspiring talent by teaching advertising at both East and West Coast universities for the past decade, serving as executive sponsor for one of Big Spaceship's employee resource groups (ERGs), and serving as a MAIP mentor. In her five years at Big Spaceship, Stacey has grown the agency's relationship with Starbucks from a project to AOR, expanding into the loyalty and partnerships space while also helping mount a multi-chaptered brand campaign. Recently, she helped launch Fast Twitch, a new energy drink from PepsiCo, with a holistic campaign and on-the-ground Super Bowl activation. Her experience also includes digital product work; for example, Stacey helped SiriusXM develop a brand new website that made for an entirely revamped experience both for customers and internal marketing teams. Current and past clients include Google, Hasbro, MasterClass, and NFL, among other brands. Prior to Big Spaceship, Stacey worked at a variety of agencies within the Publicis Groupe network on integrated campaigns for brands including P&G, J&J, Veuve Clicquot, Sally Hansen, Visa, and Google. Stacey has also developed an expertise in the tech space, developing sites, apps, and digital campaigns for clients such as Mercedes-Benz and COTY. Episode Highlights Building successful partnerships with clients. “It's a constant conversation,” Stacey notes. “You also have to set up imperfection — that we might change our mind along the way and that's okay.” “I sometimes forget that you don't work here,” Stacey loves hearing this from clients. Again, this is indicative of the close partnerships she believes in building rather than account management. We need a better label ... Stacey notes that though she's a big believer in the account management discipline, it's a limiting label. She promises to keep us posted on what she and the team comes up with! What brand has made Stacey smile recently? Stacey began with a big shoutout to all of the amazing Barbie work before sharing the story of Orange and an AI-generated women's soccer ad.

When Elsa Beaumont was tapped last year by Treasury Wines Estate – home of the mighty Penfolds – the former exec at global hot shops like Mother and Big Spaceship, and her colleague Ben Oliver, who's running Treasury's internal media unit at Splash, were worried. Could they beat all the warnings that come from agencies when brands try to go in-house with capabilities all previously outsourced: talent is hard to attract and keep stimulated, burnout is a high risk and any cost benefits would be shortlived. Burnout risk turned out to be true but the talent, quality and volume of work is rocking, they say  – and now Splash is preparing for a global rollout across Treasury Wines' international markets. The upside is faster turnarounds, tighter links with marketing teams and better output than what was possible by just using agencies. And in the case of media, Oliver is chasing down transparent digital media buys and practices that he never quite got in life before Splash.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Mark says, "It takes creative people to grow companies, conservative people to run companies.” How to find the balance between the two? You can find Mark on Instagram.

How can we become better at thinking strategically and creating meaning from the mess that life throws at us?In episode 9 of the B-side I speak to Sydney born, New York based, hip-hop journalist-turned-strategist Mr Mark Pollard, Strategy CEO of Mighty Jungle.

This week we talked with Michael Lebowitz, a guest lecturer at NYUStern, about the pros and cons of building an award-winning advertising agency without a business degree. Additionally we focused on the profound changes that have been occurring through out the advertisement industry in the last 15 years and how Big Spaceship has evolved to negotiate these new challenges.

Michael Lebowitz is the founder and CEO of creative agency Big Spaceship, which has grown to over 100 employees since he started it in 2000. In this episode of Starting Out, Lebowitz talks about the importance of creating a framework for creativity and his path to founding a company.

For Andrea Ring, chief strategy officer of Big Spaceship things seem to have simply fallen into place. Doing whatever has been in front of her at a given moment, she acknowledged that, though there is ample opportunity, happiness is key and being more intentional is the best course of action — which has informed her choices, especially as it relates to her life. In fact, its this ideal and idea that brought her closer to her father, with whom she didn’t have the closest relationship — while he battled Parkinson’s disease. Acknowledging that relationships and people are important, she is now armed knowing that she will put the time and energy into making each one special. Taking that experience with her father, Ring realized that she should demand the same at work and used that experience to create a more rewarding career path. What holds people back, according to Ring, is that we could potentially reveal something about ourselves that, “might not be as great as we think.” But that’s not necessarily a bad thing and forces one to thing about the approach to hard work. An advocate for running (“run one more mile that [you] think you can run”), Ring believes that can clear the mind and help people make better decisions. A big decision that she believes women grapple with is that of having children and she sees great power in deciding to both have a child or not having a child. Both are equally empowering and that clarity should be celebrated as opposed to being debated. As far as what she counts as a must learn, Ring has had an awakening and realizes that she has an opportunity to impart meaningful change by looking to hire those in the industry who “may not have had the economic opportunity to find [a strategy] job on their own.” She sees the knock-on effect being a chance to bring in substantial talent and have level of control about positively changing the business for the better. One aspect of Ring’s work that she finds interesting is that she’s not asked enough questions — and wishes that people would ask more of her. Being in top leadership at the agency, she believes that she is accountable and welcomes the challenging questions about her work. Fiercely dedicated to the issue of climate change, she believes that we need to hold ourselves and leaders more accountable to the planet and it is, in fact, an existential issue that demands action.

Earlier, we spoke to Michael Lebowitz, CEO of Big Spaceship, and guest lecturer at Harvard, about putting culture and behaviour at the centre of how the company and the team operates and the role of data, AI and machine learning within the creative industry.

From Insurance transparency to understandable and usable weather data to diminishing the barrier to a new career, Superfriendly and Dan Mall are working to widen the perspective of what design means to real people and how real people can impact the future of design. "I think that my mission, at least when it comes to work, is connecting people to opportunities, they wouldn’t have had otherwise. I feel like that’s the thing I’m good at and that’s the thing I can do for people and so that’s kind of what’s been on my mind lately." Dan has a unique perspective on the design community and the industry as a whole and has made it his personal mission to make a difference to improve: diversity in technology, mentorship career transitions and the overall training and building of design team to name a few. As a personal belief, Dan created the Superfriendly Academy to create an apprenticeship program that helps people in the process of making a career transition. He works to not only provide the opportunity for someone to gain a new career skill but the professionalism that goes along with that skill for that person to greatly succeed. On this episode we discuss: The concept and success of a non-traditional design collaborative, Superfriendly. Superbooked and how this product could help him and users like you maintain your professional network. The idea of the human connection and that working together is a good way to get to know each other better. How finding the right project for the right person can produce great results. The lack of diversity in the tech industry. The Superfriendly Academy and their apprenticeship program. The differences between and apprenticeship and an internship. Career transitions and the value of mentorship. The success story of Greg the apprentice.
