MW Presents: Spontaneously Candid, a McCann Worldgroup Podcast
Sure, Kathleen is one of the most awarded and admired brand executives in the world. But how does she feel when she is sitting next to Carolyn Everson? Our very own Harjot Singh digs deep learning about the person who has either personally won or led her team in winning too many awards to list, but just a few: the 2016 Clio Advertiser of the Year, 2019 Cannes Lion Titanium and Grand Prix, 2019 Grand Clio and The One Show 2020 CMO Pencil Award. She was also selected as an honoree for the Advertising Women of New York's 2016 Changing the Game Awards in the Brainwave category, which is bestowed upon executives viewed as being game changers in the way a business or product is marketed. This year, under Kathleen's leadership, Microsoft was awarded the coveted 2021 Cannes Lions Marketer of the Year Award. All that said, this conversation is not about her accomplishments but about the person who achieved them…this is a fascinating discussion about an extraordinary person driven by passion, guided by her grandmother's wisdom, bolstered by the confidence required to become one of the world's leading marketers. At the same time, her personal story is both relatable and fascinating. Kathleen gets candid about her humble beginnings, how being part of a big family required her to find her voice early or risk not getting heard, and about how, despite all her success, she still has insecurities and self-doubt just like the rest of us.

Originally from South Jersey, Adam + Craig are brothers who have been making animated cartoons together since 2012. They started by teaching themselves to animate and doing everything from concept to writing, voice-acting, music composition, directing, and animating. And then came Game of Zones, which as the brothers say was intended as a one-off video that took on a life of its own, evolving into a full series running for seven seasons with over 300 million views, three Sports Emmy nominations, and a Grand Clio. Adam + Craig were in-house at Bleacher Report from 2014 to 2020, creating and developing original animated series, one of which was Game of Zones. In their time at B/R, they helped grow the animation department from just the two of them into a full animation production team. We discussed their background, dove into Game of Zones in a behind-the-scenes way that resulted in Adam + Craig providing priceless information to anyone in design, animation, and especially sports content/social media. We also discuss what's next for the brothers.
