Guest: Ben Chestnut, Former CEO and Co-Founder of MailchimpIf you find yourself selling your startup, then Mailchimp co-founder Ben Chestnut has some important advice for you: Get a dog. When Intuit bought Mailchimp in 2021 for $12 billion, the company asked Ben if he wanted to stay on as CEO, but he chose to “walk off into the sunset” and let the new owners take over. After that, he estimates it took 6 to 12 months before he stopped checking his email, social media, and calendar with the same level of stress a CEO might have. Adopting a dog, he discovered, forces you to “get OK with the voices in your head."“After the acquisition, that's all I do, I walk the dog,” Ben says. “And the dog was good therapy ... No judgments from a dog.”Chapters:(01:09) - Growing slow (03:06) - The long journey (07:48) - Is money a burden?

As an agency leader, Mo Said does things a bit differently. After building his creative pedigree at shops including BBDO and Droga5, Said went off to launch his own agency to do work he is more passionate about – not just work that's focused on growing the agency's remit. Unlike other creatives who start their own shops, Said runs the business as well as being a creative director, which he says helps the agency get to better ideas more quickly.Mojo Supermarket has three rules – we only work for brands we love, we only work with people we love, we don't work for free. For Said, these are common sense things that often just don't happen in the agency world, especially as creatives are expected to provide ideas for free during pitches.In this episode, Said talks about how the agency is able to operate differently, why partnering with people you like leads to better work and how he came up with the name Mojo Supermarket. What we know about advertising, you should know about advertising.

Climbing the ladder is a goal for many professionals, but creatively-minded leaders look and move laterally to catapult themselves. Advertising industry icon David Droga built trailblazing creative agency Droga5 by making a series of unconventional leaps and spins, and is now applying those tactics as head of mega-agency, Accenture Song. By swinging through the jungle gym instead of sticking to the ladder — leaning into creative partnerships, programs, and perspectives — David has had outsize impact on the industry and accelerated his route to scale.

Justin Graham runs M&C Saatchi Group in Australasia. He started in management consulting then moved to Leo Burnett Sydney as an account planner. I sat next to him there, or at least in arms' reach. Like, I could annoy him if I wanted to without using my arms if I felt like it. After Leo Burnett, Justin moved to BBDO in New York to run Gillette before returning to the Australian offices of Droga5. He always struck me as a very intentional decision-maker so,now that he's running things, I wanted to find out how intentional he was, how set on becoming an advertising agency CEO he'd been when we worked together, and what he's learned along the way. I think this is the first interview I've recorded face-to-face for Sweathead. Out of 400+.  We recorded this in Sydney at the M&C Saatchi offices. You can find Justin there most days of the week and also here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinalexandergraham/ ** Sweathead celebrates its fifth anniversary on January 20, 2023 with a live event "The Sweathead Get-Ahead".

Can advertising's immense power to change behavior be used for good? In this brand new podcast, produced by Intelligence Squared, Myra Nussbaum, President and Chief Creative Officer at Havas Chicago and Dan Lucey, Chief Creative Officer at Havas New York, talk to the people who are harnessing the power of advertising to help people and the planet. This week, Dan and Myra are joined by Oriel Davis-Lyons, founder of the ONE School and Head of Creative (Podcast + Talk) at Spotify. Prior to joining Spotify, Oriel held roles at Droga5 and R/GA. He has won more than 100 awards including a D&AD Pencil in every colour except white, several Lions and three Webbys.  Oriel discussed the dissonance between the way in which the ad industry has historically profited from Black culture, yet employed few Black creatives, and explained how the prohibitive financial cost of entering the advertising industry means it has failed to reach beyond a narrow slice of the vast potential talent pool at its disposal. He also talked about how a frustrated post on LinkedIn in June 2020 led to the founding of the ONE School and how the school empowers Black creatives with the skills required to work at the top agencies.  Follow @oneschoolus on Instagram to be the first to know when Spring 2023 applications for Los Angeles and New York open.  https://oneschoolus.com/apply

On this episode of DTC Pod, Oriel joins Blaine to discuss the role of creative direction in launching a new brand. They talk about brand formation and topics including coming up with a name, defining your brand's purpose, the power of copywriting, merchandise as a medium, language as a product, how to find your brand's voice, ways to minimize inventory costs, launching and testing new products quickly, the state of voice & podcasting, & much more.7:31Your Name Is EverythingI'm a big believer in naming an idea and the name being very important. And until you've got a name, you don't necessarily have an idea. That kind of came at a moment, it was kind of like a shower thought, that just popped into my head one day when I was thinking about athleisure. And I was like, well what's the opposite of athleisure? What do you wear when you're doing nothing but zoom calls? And “corpleisure” kind of brought that all together.10:26Starting A Business? Do This FirstFor me it really helps when you know your purpose. Right. I spend a lot of time in my day, whether I'm working on corpleisure or anything else, I'm thinking, okay, what is, what is the purpose of like this brand or this piece of communication? Um, and then what's the takeaway that I want people to take from it, you know?17:34Your Brand Starts Here.If I was just going to tell someone in a conversation about this product, how would I do it? And the chances are like, if you're going to tell a friend over drinks or something, or telling someone at a barbecue like that's kind of your natural voice. And probably somewhere within that is your brand. Because when you speak naturally, especially about your own brands and about your own product, that's when you talk with passion, right? And if you could potentially maybe record yourself doing that, you'd probably hear those words that you use when you're excited about telling someone about this new product that you've got, um, and that's kind of your voice and that could be your brand. This episode is brought to you by OpenStore: Visit https://open.store to get a free, no-obligation offer for your e-commerce business from OpenStore in 24 hours. Have any questions about the show or topics you'd like us to explore further?Shoot us a DM; we'd love to hear from you. Want the weekly TL;DR of tips delivered to your mailbox?Check out our newsletter hereFollow us for content, clips, giveaways, & updates!DTCPod InstagramDTCPod TwitterDTCPod TikTokOriel Davis-Lyons - Founder of CorpleisureRamon Berrios - CEO of Trend.ioBlaine Bolus - COO of OmniPanel

The New York Times was targeted as "fake news" by the previous administration. This was their award-winning response and what led to record breaking subscription levels.

Ad agencies often claim to have no set style, that each campaign is created from scratch, bespoke for every client.It may be true for the mediocre ones, but not the great ones.Nobody used to confuse the work of AMV, BBH and GGT.The same with Wieden, Chiat and Fallon.Today, stick me in front of a tv and I'd fancy my chances at picking the Droga5.Or spotting the Uncommon on a tube platform.Because although ad agencies use the same ingredients, like chefs, they favour some more than others.We fight the idea of having a certain style in our business, ‘I thought that was one of yours' can feel like a slap in the face.Why?Most creative industries embrace it.Architects aren't chosen because they have no particular style.Clothes aren't bought because the designer covers the whole map.Does anyone confuse Quentin Tarantino films with Wes Anderson's?No, that's the point, their style is the attraction.Their philosophy, which has been honed over the years by everything they've consumed, the films, tv, magazines, conversations, experiences, comic books, even ads, that's what you're buying.It's the same with good Creatives.They have likes and dislikes, that creates a style.If asked you to spoof an ad by David Abbott, Tom McElligott, or John Webster, you probably could, because you'd recognise their patterns. Cabell Harris is the same.Whatever the agency or size of budget, he manages to create work that feels personal.Quirky, human with a hint of mischief.Take his One Show 1997 cover, (for my money – the best awards cover annual full stop).One Show Annuals are highly coveted by creatives, sometimes too coveted - getting coveted out of offices and are never seen again.Cabell came up with a great solution: a thief resistant cover.So dull it repels would-be Creative thieves.He spoofed a giant science book - The Giant Book of Spores'.Brilliant insight.Brilliant idea.Beautifully executed.We had a great chat about this and the rest of his work, and, by the end, I was even pronouncing his name correctly. (Cab-ell, not K-ball.)Hope you enjoy.

After stints at Leo Burnett and Droga5, Mara Rigney now helps brands work out what to do with Web3 at Accenture Song. "With Web3" is such a...non-specific thing. And, for those of us who've been around through Web 1.0 and Web 2.0, it's hard not to feel a little skeptical. Like, "Oh, here comes another Ponzi scheme." But, in this episode, Mara takes us through some of the fundamental concepts of Web3 and describes how she works with brands to get a handle on it. You can find Mara here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mararigney/ ** Find out about our New York City strategy workshop on June 16 here: https://sweathead.com/products/the-sweathead-strategy-workshop/ **

Here's a question. When you're the leader, where does your impact end? This week's guests are Laurie Howell and Toby Treyer-Evans. They are Executive Creative Directors at Droga5 New York and have been partners for a very long time. They have also been responsible for important and extremely impactful work, including the New York Times campaign called The Truth Is Worth It.  But as their careers evolve and the world changes, it is their impact on people in the immediate vicinity that has their attention. It is a truism of the creative industries that the people who get recognized for coming up with the best ideas are eventually put into positions in which they are suddenly responsible for the professional well-being of others. Not everyone navigates that evolution successfully. And to add to the challenge, the bar has just been raised. Today, it's not enough to plan only for the professional development of the people that work for you. You have to worry about how their work is affecting their personal lives too. To use Laurie's language, how you lead affects the rhythms of the people that you lead. From how they feel to how they sleep. In a pre-pandemic, work-life relationship, the employee was responsible for adapting their rhythms to the needs of the job. Today, when you take on a leadership role, the need to adapt the job to the person falls on you. So if the question of what's keeping your employees up at night isn't keeping you up at night, perhaps it should - at least until you know the answer.
