Do you welcome the sounds of silence? Shu Hung is the Global Chief Creative Officer of AKQA. In a complicated world, Shu has learned that knowing who you are is the foundation on which leadership success is built. Please come as you are. There is such profound truth in that request, and such enormous challenge. We spend so much of our lives wondering if we measure up, if we're doing things the right way, if we have approval from the right people. And the energy that's required in all of that self doubt is not just exhausting, but it denies us access to the instincts, the consciousness, the confidence that creativity thrives on. Life is a journey that at the end will only be judged by the one person that matters, you. And the sooner we discover who we are, the sooner we can discover what we're capable of. Please come as you are. Words to live by.

What does your company reject? Karl Lieberman is the Global Chief Creative Officer of Wieden + Kennedy. Wieden is a reference point among creative companies in many industries. For almost 45 years, they'd been impacting culture and driving business for their clients by unlocking the creativity of their people. . Creating the kind of environment in which people feel safe to put all their ideas on the table is the easiest thing to aspire to. And the hardest thing to do, in my experience. It means giving people a voice. It means being open, genuinely open to another way of looking at the world. And to the possibility that being criticized is much more desirable than being ignored. These criteria are at best challenging for most leaders to accept. Control and predict are much more natural. But predictability and conformity are creative kryptonite. To unlock creativity and unleash its power to maximum effect, you have to be willing to break the norms, to encourage the irrational and sometimes even the absurd. You have to reject predictability for possibility. And when you're yelled at, because no one has ever done it like that before, you have to be willing to shrug. You'll hear all that and more in my conversation with Karl.

What is it? This episode is the seventh in a series of conversations that I'm having in partnership with the Cannes Lion Festival of Creativity. For the weeks leading up to Cannes, we're focusing our study of leadership through a single lens. The impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Creative Industries. Are we moving fast enough? Are we going far enough? Is this an opportunity to fundamentally redesign the creative industries? Or do we adjust and iterate, slowly and carefully? Do we follow the puck, or skate to where it's going? There are opportunities and risks around every corner. Before we jump into this conversation, a couple of programming notes. I had originally intended to finish this series of conversations with this episode, and then to do a wrap up episode on my takeaways from the series. But I've got a chance to interview an industry legend at Cannes, and so I'm going to extend the series by one more. You'll hear that conversation at the end of Cannes next week. And then, the week after, we'll wrap up the series. Tiffany Rolfe is a mother, as well as the Global Chair and Global Chief Creative Officer at R/GA. I asked Tiffany to come back on the show because she is, as you'll hear, a self described tech optimist. She's also one of the most original thinkers that I know. Her professional journey has taken her from Executive Creative Director at Crispin Porter + Bogusky, to Chief Content Officer and Partner at one of the first agency consultancy hybrids, Co:Collective, to her role at R/GA. If you haven't heard our earlier episode in which she talks about the challenges of combining a demanding career with being a mother, it's a really powerful listen. In this conversation, one of the first questions that came up was, how should we think about AI? Stay tuned next week for our final conversation in the series. And in the meantime, thanks for joining us.

Edited highlights of our full length conversation. Are you aiming high enough? This episode is the fourth in a series of conversations that I'm having in partnership with the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity.

Are we going far enough? Is this an opportunity to fundamentally redesign the creative industries? Or should we adjust and iterate slowly and carefully? Do we follow the puck or skate to where it's going? There are opportunities and risks around every corner. Yasu Sasaki is the Global Chief Creative Officer of Dentsu. His company has a presence in over 145 countries and regions, and they've been working with artificial intelligence, in one form or another, since 2011. One of the main questions facing the creative industries is which companies will see AI as an opportunity to stretch the boundaries of human creativity. To recognize that the limitations in our creativity are no longer practical, financial, or time-based, but are, in fact, our own confidence in our capacity to think originally. We can also use this opportunity to create greater efficiency, a worthy ambition in a world in which resources are scarce and a life in which the time available to us is finite. In theory and in practice, we can both raise the bar and lower cost. But we must be careful how we do it. At the end of the series, I'll offer some thoughts on what we've heard and learned and where we might go from here. In the meantime, thanks for joining us.

In 2012, he was inducted into "The Hall of Achievement" by the American Advertising Federation.In this episode, I sit down with Rei Inamoto, Founding Partner of I&CO, at Martinez Beach in Cannes. We reminisce about how the Cannes Lions Festival has evolved over the past 18 years since Rei first attended, from a purely creative awards show to now being dominated by big tech companies.Rei shares the origin story behind the Future Lions competition he co-created with PJ Pereira to recognize and inspire young creative talent. We dive into I&CO's guiding principles captured in their 8 "Axioms", focusing on Rei's favorite - "Magic > Logic".Rei explains how this axiom captures the importance of human creativity and imagination in an increasingly data-driven world. We explore examples like how a simple transparent window in the sole of the Nike Air Max created a "key product moment" that made the technology magic and iconic.The discussion also covers Rei's 'Creative Mindset' podcast, where he interviews a diverse range of creative thinkers. He shares insights from guests like the President of Tama Art University on how talent is about uniqueness rather than being better than others.Throughout our engaging chat, Rei demonstrates his gift for drawing connections between design, technology and human creativity. So grab a drink and join us as we ponder the magic in the Martinez sunshine.ESPAÑOL:Él es co fundador de la agencia I&Co y se autodefine como Creative Futurist después de haber sido el Chief Creative Officer Global de AKQAFue nombrado por Creativity Magazine en su listado anual “Creativity 50” y en el listado “Las 25 personas más creativas en publicidad” por Forbes. En 2012, fue introducido a “The Hall of Achievement” por la American Advertising Federation.Esa noche recordamos cómo el Festival Cannes Lions ha evolucionado en los últimos 18 años desde que Rei asistió por primera vez, pasando de ser un festival de premios puramente creativos a estar ahora dominado por las grandes empresas tecnológicas.Rei comparte la historia detrás de la competencia Future Lions que co-creó con PJ Pereira para reconocer e inspirar a jóvenes talentos creativos. Nos sumergimos en los principios rectores de I&CO capturados en sus 8 "Axiomas", enfocándonos en el favorito de Rei: "Magia > Lógica".Rei explica cómo este axioma captura la importancia de la creatividad e imaginación humana en un mundo cada vez más impulsado por datos. Exploramos ejemplos como la simple ventana transparente en la suela de las Nike Air Max que creó un "momento clave del producto" que hizo que la tecnología fuera mágica e icónica.La discusión también cubre el podcast 'Creative Mindset' de Rei, donde entrevista a diversos pensadores creativos. Comparte ideas de invitados como el presidente de la Universidad de Arte de Tama sobre cómo el talento se trata de singularidad en lugar de ser mejor que otros.A lo largo de nuestra cautivadora charla, Rei demuestra su don para establecer conexiones entre el diseño, la tecnología y la creatividad humana.

Imposter syndrome can strike at any point in your career. Liz Taylor, Global Chief Creative Officer at Ogilvy reflects on how in the advertising industry you need to back yourself - but when you can't, it's important to create your own board of directors who you can turn to for advice and a pep talk, it might be your partner, trusted colleagues, friends outside of your industry, even your mom. Nicky Bullard, Group Chief Creative Officer for Mullen Lowe Group in London agrees, saying she still puts a lot of her success down to luck, no matter how hard she's worked and what she's achieved and it's important to have people in your orbit who will champion you when you doubt yourself. Liz expands on that saying “you feel very rewarded when you can mentor, champion and help people's career.”   Sitting down with host Joe Hawkins, Liz and Nicky discussed their roles as Global/Chief Creative Officers; how they approach managing people and projects and how even in these higher managerial positions they try to keep a hand in the creative.   Nicky and Liz were on the  2023 LIA Non-Traditional jury, which they said was a very fun category to judge, with campaigns that made the jury members laugh or with details that were a bit weird or threw something unexpected into the mix.   Episodes are available on Apple Podcast, Spotify and Youtube.

Edited highlights of our full conversation. This week, we're re-airing a conversation I had with Tiffany Rolfe early in 2022. In the eighteen months since we published this episode, the world has grown even more complicated and uncertain. And the line between work and home even more blurred.  Tiffany has added the responsibilities of Global Chair of R/GA to her Global Chief Creative Officer role.   What we need from our leaders is increasing all the time. As Tiffany asks, “How do you make sure you're taking care of yourself in all this too?” Here's Tiffany Rolfe - re-loaded. Here's a question. Where does work end and life begin? This week's guest is Tiffany Rolfe. She's the Global Chief Creative Officer at R/GA, a job she took on in the early stages of the pandemic as part of a new leadership team. Two years ago, the Ad Age A List recognized R/GA as the Comeback Agency of the Year. This year, they are now ranked second among all agencies. Tiffany's email signature reads, Mom and Global Chief Creative Officer. I speak for myself when I say that before we all withdrew into our homes in early 2020, I was aware only conceptually of how women who are parents juggle that with their careers. But two years of working via Zoom has given many of us insights into people's lives that were previously unimaginable for their candor and vulnerability. This conversation is a living example of the challenges and gifts that have emerged from the last two years. The line between work and home has been blurred beyond any reasonable hope of recognition. No matter how powerful a microscope you apply, it is almost impossible to see the separation any more between leader and human being. The destruction of this separation can be liberating if you're willing to create your own definition of the work-life balance. If you're not, it will be very hard as you try in vain to keep up with a dangerously out of date view of where work ends and life begins. The day is not only for work. The day is for living. What that means is entirely for you to decide.

Edited highlights of our full conversation. Here's a question. What do you know about who you want to be? This week's guest is Rick Brim. He's the Global Chief Creative Officer at adam&eveDDB. Rick was on the podcast four and half years ago in early 2019. I called that episode, “The ‘I Don't Know' Leader”, to highlight Rick's point that it's okay for leaders not to know the answer every time. I suspect, if you asked him today, he'd feel the same way. As would I. Leaders are not supposed to have all the answers. But Rick has been changed by the last four years. The leadership journey is personal. And complicated, because it involves other people. And sometimes it's overwhelming, because all the gaps in your leadership are filled with emotion. And a lot of that is the emotion that comes in the middle-of-the-night darkness that keeps us all awake. The last four years have brought most of us a hosepipe full of emotions. And every day the news adds more angst and anxiety and uncertainty to that drink. For some people, the answer is to meet that with a determination to focus on the task in front of them. To get back to work and to deliver results, come what may. That comes, inevitably and eventually, with a heavy price - for them and the people around them. But for others, the last four years and the maelstrom we live in today have given them the chance to learn about themselves. What matters and what else they are capable of. They have discovered, to use Rick's words, a clearer perspective of the person they want to be. They know that. And that, I promise you from the bottom of my heart, is the beginning of everything. What do you know about who you want to be? What questions are you asking of yourself and about yourself?

Edited highlights of our full conversation. Here's a question. Who is helping you be you? This week's guest is Liz Taylor. She's the Global Chief Creative Officer at Ogilvy. Everyone has a story. Liz's story, as you'll hear, has a traumatic beginning. She grew up with an abusive father in a home in which there was always a loaded gun. The police were called often. She and her mother and brother and sister would sometimes have to leave in the middle of the night. That kind of start to life leaves a mark. We are shaped by our past, consciously or unconsciously. Which means the person we become can be defined by circumstance. Or by choice. Sometimes these choices are informed by the presence of a powerful partner in our lives. For Liz, that partner, as you'll hear, was her mother. Today, Liz's ability to so clearly and powerfully declare the kind of environment she is determined to provide as a leader, is influenced by the protection and the support that her mother provided her. But sometimes, the choice of who we want to be does not come from the example set by someone else. Sometimes, all we have to work with are circumstances in which we were left alone to figure it out for ourselves. Circumstances in which there was no one we could trust. That can be a lonely place. One in which it can be overwhelming to ask ourselves honestly, is this who I really want to be? But I know this to be true beyond a shadow of a doubt. There are people around you who care. People who want to support you on your journey. People who will help you find your better angels and hold on to them. Our past shapes us. But it need not define us. Only we do that. We just have to ask for help.

Navigating the tumultuous tides of the advertising world, especially in a powerhouse like Amazon, is no small feat. This illuminating conversation with Jo Shoesmith of Amazon's advertising team provides a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the dynamic world of advertising campaigns. Diving deep, she touches on the nuances of teamwork, the pressure of high-risk projects, and the marriage of creativity with evolving technology. Additionally, her candid discussion on being a woman in a predominantly male industry offers invaluable insights for aspiring young professionals. Anecdotes, both humorous and revealing, pave the way for a deeper understanding of the advertising cosmos. This conversation paints a vivid picture, not just of the technicalities of advertising, but of the human touch that drives it.

Today on our show, we're continuing a special summer mini-series recorded live from the Cannes Lions 2023 International Festival of Creativity. frog was an official partner of the event, where we hosted a cabana along the famed croisette. What ensued was four days of programming that included on-stage panels from our sunny beachside terrace and interviews with expert guests from leading brands in our on-site recording studio. Day Two in the frog Cabana, we explored the theme of ‘Creativity in the Machine Era,” exploring  the evolution of human creativity alongside new tools like generative AI, Web3 principles, the metaverse and experiences driven by immersive tech like augmented and virtual reality.Special thanks to this episode's guests: Andreas Markdalen, Global Chief Creative Officer, frog; Sarah Kiefer, Chief Marketing Officer, Pitch; Ahmed Daoud, Executive Director of Innovation, the Royal Commission for Al-Ula; Laurence Parkes, Vice President, frog UK. Brought to you by frog, a global creative consultancy. frog is part of Capgemini Invent.

As we delve into the depths of this digital agora, we must confront the delicate balance between freedom and responsibility. 

We're back for 2023! And today on our show, we're talking about artificial intelligence and human creativity. Creative AI, also called Generative AI, is inspiring new ways of working and even thinking about the creative process. To help us unpack the implications of all this, we're once again joined by Andreas Markdalen, Global Chief Creative Officer at frog. Back in 2015, Andreas first began speaking about the intersection of AI and design at a conference called Digital Shoreditch in London. A few years later, he again explored the topic in a presentation at Interaction 19. Next month, Andreas will again take the stage at Interaction 23 in Zürich to expand on whether Creative AI will be the death of creativity, or the means of unlocking a whole new era of imagination.Brought to you by frog, a global creative consultancy. frog is part of Capgemini Invent.

Edited highlights of our full conversation. Here's a question. How do you find the right people? This week's guest is Nick Law. He's the Global Lead for Design and Creative Tech at Accenture Song. Nick has had a storied career. Global Chief Creative Officer at R/GA. Chief Creative Officer of Publicis Groupe. VP, Marcom Integration at Apple before joining Accenture Song in early 2022. He has led and unlocked creativity across thousands of people. He's seen what works. And what doesn't. In my experience, the very best leaders understand three things. Their business, their people and themselves. But not in that order. Most leaders prioritize their understanding of the business. After all, it's the reference point that most people use when measuring the success or otherwise of an individual leader. Leaders rightly worry about the vision, the strategy, the execution and the performance of the organization, pouring themselves into KPIs and P&Ls. But getting those numbers to really sing is the consequences of two things. How well you understand your people. And how well you understand yourself. The creative thinking and innovation that every modern business depends on is amplified a thousand fold when its people trust and believe in the leaders of that business. Better visions, better strategies, better systems will move the needle a bit by themselves. But only a bit. And nothing like as far as when your people believe in you. And what drives that belief. Your courage, your confidence, your consistency. And your humanity. And all of those depend on how well you understand yourself. So if you're struggling to find the right people, start by finding yourself and deciding what really matters to you. And then say it out loud so that your people can find you.

Here's a question. What kind of company are you building? This week's guests are Karl Lieberman and Neal Arthur. They are respectively the Global Chief Creative Officer and Global Chief Operating Officer of Wieden + Kennedy. Few companies have reached the creative heights of Wieden + Kennedy. None, that I can think of, have sustained those heights for most of the last forty years. Neal and Karl stepped into their global roles seven months after the beginning of the pandemic. How do you lead a culture opposed to rules through a time when there are no rules? Leaders of creative businesses are usually adventurers. They relish the fact that accepting the ambiguous and the unknown are lines 1 and 2 in the job description. But as human beings we are all comforted by the familiar and the known. Even the adventurers eventually turn for home. And yet, if your goal as a leader is to meet the future in a fair fight, then welcoming ambiguity and uncertainty are no longer enough. Turning for the safety of home will leave you behind. Creativity is the world's most powerful force. It's time to build flexible businesses that unleash it. It's time for leaders to let creativity loose. Here are Karl Lieberman and Neal Arthur.

Turning for the safety of home will leave you behind. Creativity is the world's most powerful force. It's time to build flexible businesses that unleash it. It's time for leaders to let creativity loose. Here are Karl Lieberman and Neal Arthur.

Edited highlights of our full conversation. Here's a question. What kind of company are you building? This week's guests are Karl Lieberman and Neal Arthur. They are respectively the Global Chief Creative Officer and Global Chief Operating Officer of Wieden + Kennedy. Few companies have reached the creative heights of Wieden + Kennedy. None, that I can think of, have sustained those heights for most of the last forty years. Neal and Karl stepped into their global roles seven months after the beginning of the pandemic. How do you lead a culture opposed to rules through a time when there are no rules? Leaders of creative businesses are usually adventurers. They relish the fact that accepting the ambiguous and the unknown are lines 1 and 2 in the job description. But as human beings we are all comforted by the familiar and the known.

Edited highlights of our full conversation. This week's guest is Tiffany Rolfe. She's the Global Chief Creative Officer at R/GA, a job she took on in the early stages of the pandemic as part of a new leadership team. Two years ago, the Ad Age A List recognized R/GA as the Comeback Agency of the Year. This year, they are now ranked second among all agencies. Tiffany's email signature reads, Mom and Global Chief Creative Officer. I speak for myself when I say that before we all withdrew into our homes in early 2020, I was aware only conceptually of how women who are parents juggle that with their careers. But two years of working via Zoom has given many of us insights into people's lives that were previously unimaginable for their candor and vulnerability. This conversation is a living example of the challenges and gifts that have emerged from the last two years. The line between work and home has been blurred beyond any reasonable hope of recognition. No matter how powerful a microscope you apply, it is almost impossible to see the separation any more between leader and human being. The destruction of this separation can be liberating if you're willing to create your own definition of the work-life balance. If you're not, it will be very hard as you try in vain to keep up with a dangerously out of date view of where work ends and life begins. The day is not only for work. The day is for living. What that means is entirely for you to decide.
