So before this episode airs lets talk about why its special. Its special because we have Co-founder of The Culture LP Michael Tonge as our guest that completely embodies the spirit we need in 2020. It’s special because this was recorded December 2019 the end of our very first season of this podcast. It’s also special because it was the final episode as the founding trio of hosts on this podcasts. Enjoy every moment we had producing this! Michael Tonge is a Brooklyn Native, and the son of two creatives. He is born and raised in the city that never sleeps so naturally, hustle, creativity, and intuition are a part of his DNA. As an avid “people-watcher” since childhood, it makes sense that he studied Sociology while at Bucknell University). It was there, on campus that he began his marketing career, + launched The Culture LP. Since then he has worked in a diverse set of roles at the likes of J.P. Morgan, Giant Spoon, and the Dentsu Aegis Network before taking a role as Senior Marketing Manager at the Brooklyn Museum. Currently, Michael serves as a partner at Launch Angle, and is the co-founder of the Culture LP. When he isn't solving complex problems for brands, organizations, and creatives, you can generally find him wherever there is the trifecta of dope music, people, and food. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mtg-more-than-graphics/support

What is a 'safe space' and who gets to decide whether or not it's safe? How is systemic racism perpetuated by trauma and also the cause of trauma - not only for Black people but also white people? In this series on social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts in multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this video, Jill interviews Bianca Wilson, anti-racism activist and co-founder of Say Space, a Diversity and Inclusion consultancy. Bianca shares her personal and professional journey from working at a well-known advertising agency to leaving corporate America and co-founding a Diversity and Inclusion consultancy. She discusses terms such as 'safe space' and 'unconscious bias' and how they can be fraught (and cause more racial trauma) for Black people when not applied in a trauma-sensitive way. Bianca talked about the inter-generational trauma that white people have experienced (the "dirty pain" of white trauma), which has both led to and perpetuated systemic racism, and the need to truly heal the trauma from systemic racism for both Black and white people in order to end systemic racism. Bianca Wilson (she/ her/ hers) supports individuals and organizations to get to the core of what is needed so effective communication, impactful leadership and authentic relationships can thrive. With her background in Race Relations at Villanova University, advanced training in Emotional Freedom Technique (‘Tapping') and Cross Cultural Facilitation Training with the renowned Diversity Trainer, Lee Mun Wah, Bianca has been immersed in the world of Coaching, Holistic healing and Diversity and Inclusion for 10 years. Her education, extensive training and experience has led her to work with companies such as Media Arts Lab (Advertising Agency for Apple), Sony Music, PMC/Variety Magazine, Trailer Park, Giant Spoon, Outdoor Voices, Johannes Leonardo, Inspire, AT&T and countless others.

Jason does things differently; as a Senior Integrated Producer, he gets to touch both broadcast and print. Tune in for some interesting insights from someone who routinely bridges the gap. Key Takeaways [:31] Heather introduces Jason Lau and asks her guest to talk about who he is, where he is from, and how he found his way into art production. [6:25] Jason talks about how he created his own position at TBWACHIATDAY and brought order to some interactive legal aspects. [7:25] From building his own role, Jason touches on what he does today, and how has it evolved along with the changing industry into something different from traditional art production. [14:30] Heather and Jason talk about the combination of the broadcast and print production roles, and the language and process barriers that arise when trying to communicate with both sides. [16:30] Integrated content isn’t just about shooting motion and a few pictures on the side for social accounts, it’s massive and requires a multi-talented, trustworthy storyteller. [17:18] Jason and Heather talk about the importance of relationship building and compromise. Jason touches on how quickly the market evolves and you can lose touch with who is who and who does what in this industry. [19:33] How does Jason find people for his project and how does one grab Jason’s attention? Bug him, and try to meet him; it’s really about relationships. [22:16] Instagram is a more personal tool, so Jason uses the web more broadly to find new people or dig a little bit for attention-catching items. [23:57} Jason and Heather reminisce about books: tons and tons of black books in conference rooms… [25:20] The handful of times Jason has hired photographers to do motion, he has found that the process wasn’t yet seamless and he believes it should be; he gives some insights on why that could be. [28:11] Heather shares the evolution she has seen in terms of direct client contact, production company contact and the increase in freelancers. [30:14] On keeping yourself relevant in an ever-changing industry. [33:10] If Jason wasn’t doing what he does now, he would open a non-profit gallery for young adults to have a platform. [34:37] Heather thanks Jason for coming onto the podcast and invites listeners to tune in for the next episode. Thanks for listening.

Welcome to the premiere episode of Brands on Brands on Brands, where marketing expert and coach Brandon Birkmeyer chats with other experts in his field about the ins and outs of their industry and what can be done to engage more with customers as society and technology evolve. Mark Schaefer has been generous enough to grace this show with his presence for its inaugural episode. Mark is a marketing strategy consultant, keynote speaker, and author of Marketing Rebellion: The Most Human Company Wins. You can read about his thoughts on the profession on the blog {Grow}, or even hear about them on the podcast he hosts, The Marketing Companion. In this episode, Mark explains how you can make your brand more human and engaging, discusses what you should be doing to forge connections with your customers, and speculates on how we’ll need to adapt branding for the next generation. The Finer Details of This Episode: What inspired Mark to write his newest book and how all of his writing fits into a singular overarching narrative. Why he’s concerned marketing agencies haven’t evolved enough with the times. How Mark’s grandfather inspired him to forge a career in marketing. The benefits of working to find a groove with customers rather vs. trying to change them. A few lessons that marketers and entrepreneurs can take away from Mark’s book right this instant.

In this week’s episode of “Marketing Today,” Alan’s conversation is with Jennifer Halloran, head of brand and advertising at MassMutual. The beginning of Halloran’s tenure at MassMutual was marked by a complete rebranding effort across all aspects of the company, including the hiring of two new agencies of record. In a decision to go with a roster model, they chose Johannes Leonardo as their creative lead and named Giant Spoon to handle media responsibilities. During the course of her conversation with Alan, Halloran talked about the process of hiring those two agencies as well as the campaigns and initiatives MassMutual has launched in the past year. In addition, Halloran touched on adopting and implementing a nimble approach to capitalize on big cultural moments through timely creative and the resulting media opportunities. “I think you really have to be fluid,” said Halloran.” You don’t buy a media plan that’s set for the year anymore — we call it a blueprint.” She went on to add, “You don’t set it in stone at the beginning of the year and say you’ve got it…we have to move with what’s happening with our customers, in culture, and in technology, and you’ve got to stay on top of it.” Highlights from this week’s “Marketing Today” podcast include: Halloran discusses her background, how she thought she’d end up in consulting but instead found herself focusing on one industry, and the monumental effort of rebranding MassMutual. (1:20) Halloran describes the complexity of launching MassMutual’s rebrand and refresh (6:26) Starting from the inside out — Halloran provides insight for fellow marketers faced with relaunching or rebranding a company. (10:01) “I didn’t want to make them guess.” Halloran on the very different kind of process MassMutual used when looking for an agency of record. (12:56) Halloran’s advice for others going through an agency search: “Go with your gut on what you know is going to be important.” (21:49) Halloran talks about MassMutual’s “Adopt a Runner” campaign for the New York City Marathon. (24:05) MassMutual’s “Unsung” campaign hinged on authenticity. (30:53) “That could be me.” MassMutual’s “Acts of Mutuality” was a multi-generational story that appealed to something in everyone.

They are meeting after-hours and seeking out new faces and ideas regardless of title or public accolade. It’s a movement that’s uncovering unlikely pairings and new players while quietly, but surely, creating a new way of working for our industry.
