A few years ago, advertising got pretty serious, and for good reason. But now the industry is rediscovering its funny bone as brands look to create laughter, joy and connection with audiences.

I'll be honest. I've been struggling to get back into the swing of things post-holidays. I'd like to say that I've been nothing but gentle with myself about this…but that would be a lie.

As a show of appreciation for her ten year anniversary at Creative Circle, she was able to take a three-month sabbatical that taught her so much about herself and her relationship with work.

You might be able to go it alone, but it's a lot easier when you can work with your creative circle and all lift each other up to meet success.

Should Liverpool win the Carabao Cup this season I'm sure they'll be happy.But it'll be a bonus.Their goal is to win the Premier League.Or maybe the European Cup.Creatives used to view Creative Circle Awards in the same way; delighted to win one, but their eyes were fixed on D&AD.Or BTAA.Or Campaign Press.Or Campaign Posters.Or The One Show.Or, a bit later, Cannes.In fact, my first ever advertising award was a Creative Circle Gold for radio - great, but I'd happily have swapped it for an ‘in book' at D&AD.But, they did have one thing going for them - their annual.It wasn't like the other annuals.The idiosyncratic way that they chose juries meant they featured an equally idiosyncratic batch of ads.One year they decided a single person should judge a whole category. (The year I won my gold for radio, fortunately the judge was Derek Day, arguably the most astute judge of radio on the planet. Thanks Derek!)Another year they decided that all judges had to be under thirty.They managed to rid the juries of those pesky award winners and Creative Directors, but to be fair, it again guaranteed that annual had different work in it than those other annuals.So it was worth a look.By 2006, with entries down, they could no longer afford to print an annual.As a registered charity, they only exist is to shine a light on the best British advertising has to offer, without an annual that light is going to be significantly dimmed.So why would agencies, who have finite awards budgets, continue to enter?It was a difficult question.What to do?What to do?A bald man with a twiddly moustache walks into frame ‘Ere, I'll have a go…let me run it!'

In this episode we discuss directing through a computer screen (in case you never got the memo: skype is out, zoom is IN), how commercial advertising shifted during the pandemic (what do we do? masks on? masks off?), and... Foo Fighters (trust us, you'll understand once you've listened). While we know and love him as a commercial director, he's also a co-creator of the cult comedy series TRIGGER HAPPY TV (awarded Bronze Rose-D'Or at Montreux), director of THE SNOW MAZE ( Best UK Short at London Independent Film Festival, Ramsgate International Film Festival and the Romford Film Festival, Best Original Screenplay at North Europe International Film Festival, Nominated for Best East Anglian Film at the BAFTA-eligible Norwich Film Festival, Finalist at Carmarthen Bay Film Festival and Officially Selected at a further 13 festivals worldwide), and MANN OVERBOARD (his debut US TV pilot - 6 festival Wins, 7 Finalists, 3 Semi-Finalists, 1 Honorable Mention and 7 Official Selections from around the world). 

‘Remember how seriously we all took it? Not that we took ourselves seriously or that we didn't have fun, but we just tried so, so hard to make great work. It may be chip paper to most people, but we'd really sweated every last detail. Even on the bad ads, we'd stay lat trying desperately to improve them. Like we were on a mission. It seemed so important.' I enjoyed chatting to Mary. Although afterwards, I must confess, I was a little irritated; why on earth had she never set up her own agency? Or run her own Creative Department for that matter? (And why wasn't that one of my questions?) She was born to do it. She's such a clear thinker, funny, ballsy and confident, as you'll hear. Also, and this is often gets overlooked – in 1987 Mary picked up the coveted Whitbread Most Promising Beginner Award at The Creative Circle. Hope you enjoy it. Dx

“You're shy — so are they,” says polymer clay artist Christi Friesen about making a career of your art, acknowledging how hard it can be to put yourself out there. As she tells Jewelry Artist podcast host Katie Hacker, “We're always selling ourselves: a piece of our heart, our hand, our brain.” But it's important to do it and connect with people any way you can, Christi advises. Drawn to her medium first for its super range of colors, she also considers its easy workability and low cost an invitation to play. “You're not trying to make a masterpiece every day,” she reminds us. Assume you're going to smash what you make some days, have fun, and learn to be yourself. Find out how Christi has built a Creative Circle that inspires her and sustains her business.  Learn more and see Christi's work on our blog: https://www.interweave.com/jewelry-artist-podcast/christi-friesen/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, I'm having another GAS with Paul Burke, the outspoken writer who frequently risks his career by coming onto our podcast and saying whatevr happens to be on his mind. This time, it's a look back over his second job as a DJ in the 80s and 90s in Soho. -- Paul began his career as a van driver at AMV before becoming a copywriter at Y&R, JWT and BMP DDB. In that time, he has won practically every award the industry has to offer including three D&AD pencils. He has also chaired a number of awards juries including D&AD, Creative Circle and the Aerials. He's won so many Aerial Awards that they gave him a special Lifetime Achievement Award. He was also presented with a Radio Advertising Fellowship at The House of Lords. Uniquely among writers, Paul produces commercials too. Either his own scripts or other people's. Always makes them better. Every year he facilitates the IPA Radio Producers Course. He has about thirty years' experience at top agencies working with every sort of client. So he can just get stuff done quickly and brilliantly. -- Having a GAS™ is the podcast that talks to the great and the good of the creative industries, and in particular finds out what makes great music for film, for TV, for advertising; for dancing to, for cooking to, f*cking to, and more... --  GAS™ Music is a music production agency in Manchester, UK. We compose and produce original music, create awe inspiring sound design and have a fully integrated audio post-production studio. We also have a great record collection, and welcome any additions, recommendations or criticisms. -- http://www.gasismusic.co.uk​ -- © GAS™ Music 2021

In den letzten Podcastfolgen ging es immer wieder darum, wie wir auch in unsicheren Zeiten unserem Herzen verbunden bleiben. Mit der heutigen Episode möchte ich daran anknüpfen und zeige Dir, wie intuitives Schreiben Dir innere Klarheit und neue Perspektiven schenken kann. Wenn wir nicht genau wissen, wie es weitergehen soll, tauschen wir uns darüber aus, orientieren uns an anderen oder drehen und wenden alles unentwegt hin und her. Wir sehnen uns nach Antworten und kommen doch nicht weiter. Intuitives Schreiben lädt Dich auf eine tiefere Ebene ein und lässt Deinen Verstand ruhen. Die folgende Schreibübung stammt aus dem Buch "Federleicht - Die kreative Schreibwerkstatt" von Barbara Pachl-Eberhart. Notiere zunächst die Frage, auf die Du Dir eine Antwort wünschst. Verbinde Dich innerlich mit Deiner Fragestellung und wähle dann aus dem Bauch heraus eine Zahl zwischen 1 und 8. Jede Zahl verkörpert eine andere Stimme und Sichtweise zu Deinem Thema. Ich habe die sechs Stimmen aus dem genannten Buch um zwei weitere ergänzt, die sich für mich stimmig anfühlen: Stimme der höchsten Weisheit Stimme des kleinen, bedürftigen Kindes in Dir Stimme des frechen, kräftigen Kindes in Dir Stimme des inneren Archivars Deiner glücklichen Erinnerungen Stimme Deiner tiefsten Sehnsucht Stimme Deines Körpers Stimme Deiner inneren Königin Stimme Deines größten Mentors Tauche nun gedanklich in die Stimme Deiner Zahl ein und beginne intuitiv aus dieser Perspektive heraus zu schreiben. Versuche, die Worte einfach aus Dir herausfließen zu lassen, ohne darüber nachzudenken. Ich hoffe, dass auch Dir intuitives Schreiben dabei hilft, innere Klarheit zu gewinnen und freue mich über Deine Erfahrungen oder gemeinsamen Austausch in meinem nächsten Creative Circle. Alles Liebe, Deine Nina In dieser Folge erfährst Du: Wie Du auf kreative Weise Deine eigenen Antworten findest Warum intuitives Schreiben Deinen Blickwinkel verändert Wie ich kreative Übungen in meinen Ausbildungen nutze Wie durch Perspektivwechsel innere Klarheit entsteht Shownotes: Buch "Federleicht – Die kreative Schreibwerkstatt" Nächster Creative Circle am 21.

In this episode, I got to interview the brilliant Vicki Maguire. Vicki is the Chief Creative Officer of ad agency Havas and she is one of the most awarded creatives in the industry today. Her work includes the ‘Hands Only CPR’ ad for the British Heart Foundation starring Vinnie Jones – which has now saved over 50 lives – and The Angina Monologues, which earned her a British Comedy Award. A vocal advocate of diversity and inclusion, Vicki was the first female chair of Creative Circle and helped set up its foundation; a charity that helps fund students from diverse backgrounds enter the industry.What can I say about this episode! I had such a laugh! Why? Because Vicki is a force of nature who tells it exactly how it is. That might be to do with her working-class background, her ability to blag her way into any job or just simply her infectious laughter.As usual we chart our way through her career from being fired from every job imaginable in the fashion industry to landing in advertising and recently becoming Chief Creative Officer at Havas London. I don’t want to reveal too much about this interview instead I’ll tell you some of the things you’ll learn from her story – the art of blagging, when to tell it’s time to move on from your job, the value of having a 3 months fuck off fund and how to negotiate your salary – plus much much more.

The people with whom we surround ourselves have a greater impact that we could ever imagine. Join us this week as we talk about the importance of having a Creative Circle of friends and how to go about doing just that!

Back in the seventies there was a tv show called The Waltons. A depression era family mooched about Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains dealing with various social and moral issues, it was all very wholesome. At the end, after some member of the family had realised the error of their ways, they'd cut to the usual end device: A shot of their quaint wooden house at the night. We’d hear a voice ‘Goodnight Jon Boy’, gradually we'd hear all the other members of the family shout their goodnights. It was slightly chaotic and you were reminded that there were a lot of Waltons living cheek by jowl in that house. A decade later I was given a brief for The Observer Newspaper - a 48 sheet poster to promote their property section. Bingo! Show that end shot with ‘Goodnight Jon Boy’, ‘Goodnight Mary Lou’ plus another fifty goodnights and names in text, underneath was ‘If you’re looking for a bigger home, take a look in The Observer.’ The Creative Directors loved. The Account team presented it. The client bought it. Kind of. They thought it would make a better radio ad. Heartbreaking. Rather than have a big, glorious proof to put in my book, I’d have a little cassette. It got made. It got into D&AD, my first entry. It won gold at Creative Circle, my first award. Maybe it'd worked out best after all? I placed that little cassette in my book. It was the only thing in there that had won an award. I’d show my book to the great and the good at the agencies I hoped to graduate to, without exception they’d get to the end, see the cassette and start zipping the book up. ‘I have a radio ad…it’s won an award’ I’d say. 'Great' they'd say, continuing to zip. I’d push a bit further ‘Would you like to hear it?’ The answers would range from ‘I’ve got a meeting I have to be at’ to ‘No...I’m sure it’s pretty good if it’s won an award.’ No fucker would listen to it. My only award winning piece of work. What is it with radio? Why do we treat it like the runt of the media litter? A few months ago I thought it would be good to post something on radio advertising. Partly because I think it'll start to grow due to the booming podcast world, partly because it's the perfect subject matter for a podcast. Whilst thinking about how to go about it, I noticed that one of the best producers of radio ads had just closed up shop; Angell Sound. Owner, Nick Angell, had consistently produced some of our country's best radio ads over the last thirty or so years. But for a decade or so after the whole Walton’s episode (or ‘Waltongate’ as I call it), I’d avoided radio briefs whenever possible, so didn’t feel sufficiently knowledgeable to grill Nick. Fortunately, I have a mate who's more than qualified, Paul Burke, copywriter at BMP/DDB, JWT & AMV/BBDO. I was going to say he's one of the few to truly embrace the possibilities of radio, but I can't think of who the others would be? So maybe he's the only creative to truly embrace the possibilities of radio. It's lead him to set up his own radio production company, teach and promote the joys of radio. Not only that, like the man from Delmonte 'He say yes!'. So here they are. Enjoy.

Yet, storytelling has always been the backbone to whatever he chooses to do. After graduating from Boston University in 1991 he moved to Los Angeles with the dreams of being a rock star. While entertaining crowds all over the US he took a job as a story editor and script analyst with Hollywood notables such as Quincy Jones, Jerry Bruckheimer, Arnold Kopelson and Propaganda Films. He then moved on to get his Masters in Counseling Psychology to help others tell their stories. From there he taught Lifeskills at the Crossroads School in Santa Monica - again focusing on helping students find their own personal stories and focus on what it meant to be a young adult. In 1997 Michael was the cofounder of imagistic - a digital agency - and was CEO for 14 years. It was during this tenure that Michael cut his teeth on digital marketing and worked with clients such as the ACLU, Hollywood.com, The Southern Poverty Law Center, Sir Speedy, Technicolor, The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, Disney, Capitol Records, California Pizza Kitchen, GE, Kellogg’s, Estee Lauder, Bank of America and UCLA. In 2011 Michael decided it was time to go out on his own and refocus his career on storytelling. This included becoming a seasoned TEDx Talker, a Presentation Specialist and a focus on Content Marketing. In 2013 Michael married his love of marketing with music and became the Vice President of Marketing for Musician's Friend (Guitar Center, Inc.) For 2+ years Michael was the VP of Marketing at Creative Circle. Recently he was tasked to take charge of the new consulting side of the business.
