For the final episode of Season Nine, we're joined by James Greenfield, founder and CEO of Koto, the global brand agency celebrating its 10th anniversary. James reflects on a decade of building one of the most talked-about studios in the industry, from humble beginnings and "recycling problems" to global offices, high-profile clients like Amazon, and a team that now numbers over 180. We explore how Koto evolved from a scrappy underdog into a creative heavyweight and how James has managed to maintain a startup mentality, champion a people-first culture, and fiercely protect creative standards as the business scaled. He also shares why independence is having a moment, how AI is creating a flood of "automated slop", and why great creativity matters more than ever. Elsewhere, we touch on the emotional moments behind launching Koto, the leadership lessons learned, and how staying close to the team (and away from perfectionism) keeps the company grounded. There's also time for thoughts on social media fatigue, what makes a strong agency-client relationship, and why—despite a love of good work—he's only raised his voice three times in a decade. We wrap with some honest wisdom: whether you're running a studio or thinking about starting one, James offers no-nonsense advice on what it really takes. This season is proudly sponsored by the School of Communication Arts.
Jenn and Doug dive into how social media shapes global perceptions of Japan—both the good and the misleading. From viral content to common myths, they explore what's real, what's exaggerated, and why it matters.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

Une femme en kimono sortant d'un métro parisien : quelle est sa vie ? Vit-elle à Paris ? Pourquoi cette femme a-t-elle décidé de venir vivre en France ? Est-elle mariée à un Français ? Qui sont ses amis ? Que mange-t-elle ? Autant de questions à l'origine du livre de Dorothée Perkins, photographe, autrice et imprégnée de culture japonaise. De rencontres en rencontres, riches, entre Paris et Tokyo, elle a découvert un monde, et discerné les sources de la romance qu'entretiennent le Japon et la France depuis près de 2 siècles. Pour notre émission, le rendez-vous avait été donné chez Kiko et Tsuyu, mère et fille, toute deux artistes, peintre et plasticienne installées dans le 14ème arrondissement de Paris -un merveilleux ilot japonais- chez deux amies de 20 ans de Dorothée Perkins. Une rencontre suspendue, hors du temps, autour de la préparation d'un repas, observer les gestes, la confection de l'incontournable bouillon dashi, se découvrir, échanger, et au fil du repas confirmer l'attirance et le lien si doux entre nos cultures. Avec la peintre Kiko Shimizu, sa fille : l'artiste plasticienne Tsuyu Bridwell, Koto sa petite fille et Dorothée Perkins, photographe et autrice de « Paris Tokyo mon amour », paru aux éditions La Martinière. Un voyage dans le monde entre Paris et Tokyo, et des adresses de cœur y sont partagées comme chuchotées à l'oreille, ce livre est un cadeau. Dorothée Perkins est aussi l'autrice de « La foi, la fourche, la fourchette » avec Perrine Bulgheroni, aux éditions Hachette. Sur les réseaux. Pour découvrir le travail de Tsuyu Bridwell.

Hey everyone! Super happy to kick off a new season with more brand-building legends and insights.In this conversation, I chat with Damian Borchok, Managing Director of Koto for the Asia Pacific region. A conversation sparked by a great article on Koto ‘s newsletter, We discussed the nuances of branding, rebranding, and brand refreshes. Damian emphasizes the importance of understanding the value of a brand and the strategic decisions behind rebranding efforts. Through various case studies, including Walmart, Burger King, Bolt, Tropicana, and Jaguar, Damian explores the complexities of brand identity, market signals for change, and the execution of branding strategies. He highlights the need for brands to evolve while maintaining their core identity and the significance of research in understanding brand equity.Takeaways* A brand refresh can be a missed opportunity if not executed boldly.* Rebranding should consider both visual identity and communication strategy.* Longevity of a brand does not guarantee its equity in the market.* Brands must align their internal culture with their branding efforts.* Research is crucial in identifying valuable brand assets.* Market shifts can signal the need for a rebrand or refresh.* Effective branding requires a long-term commitment, not just a one-time campaign.* Brands should avoid generic approaches and strive for distinctiveness.* The execution of a brand rollout is as important as the design itself.* Successful rebranding can lead to significant market advantages.

A maternidade tem um poder transformador. Cris viu o mundo de um jeito diferente depois que o seu filho Koto nasceu. Com seis meses de gestação, ela descobriu que ele tinha o lábio leporino, uma fissura do lábio superior, causando uma abertura anômala para dentro do nariz.

Modelo, radicada na França, Cris conta como lidou com o diagnóstico, relembra a dor do parto, o lindo encontro com seu filho e o baby blues que tomou conta dela durante quinze dias.

What's the best baseball movie ever? For Koto creative director Caroline Fox, there's only one answer to that question: 1993's The Sandlot. It tells the story of Scotty Smalls, a fifth-grader in a new town, making new friends, and learning about baseball. Co-starring Karen Allen, Denis Leary, and James Earl Jones, the movie has lessons about collaboration and overcoming challenges. Caroline talks about her work with Koto, team and client relationships, plus we dive into the fun advertising and graphic design from a bygone era, as featured in The Sandlot.-The Sandlothttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108037/https://www.si.com/fannation/sneakers/off-court/pf-flyers-baseballism-collaborate-ahead-of-world-series-Baseball movieshttps://www.mlb.com/news/best-baseball-movies-of-all-time-c301609142https://variety.com/lists/best-baseball-movieshttps://www.comicsands.com/league-of-their-own-reunion-Koto branding for Workdayhttps://koto.studio/work/workday/
EP 75: The Vanishing of Tammy Belanger: A Dark AnniversaryThis month marks the 40th anniversary of the disappearance of 8-year-old Tammy Belanger from Exeter, New Hampshire. Tammy's story is one that many in Southern New Hampshire know all too well, but the dark truth behind her abduction is still haunting. In this episode, we explore the mystery of what happened to Tammy after she was last seen crossing the street on her usual walk to school on November 13, 1984. Tammy's case is eerily linked to another young girl—Christy Luna, an 8-year-old girl from Greenacres, Florida whose circumstances mirrored Tammy's in disturbing ways. As we dive into the details, I make the case for the main suspect in these crimes, a deviant predator who is believed to be responsible for both disappearances.Through Tammy's story, we learn of the lost hours that passed before anyone realized she was missing, and how this case helped shape new protocols in the way schools respond to student absences. In 1984, when Tammy vanished, there were no calls home for missing children, no immediate alerts or search efforts. It wasn't until hours later, when her mother Pat noticed Tammy was missing, that anyone realized she wasn't at school, and by then, critical hours were lost.This episode uncovers the haunting details of that fateful day and examines how a missing child led to critical changes in child safety protocols.Listener Warning: This episode contains sensitive content and details about child abduction, abuse, and trauma.Updating sources at crimeofthetruestkind.comNew Hampshire Missing Children - NaMUShttps://www.namus.gov/missingpersons/search#/resultsBack in two weeks.

It's election season at KOTO! Each year, we seek to provide listeners and the electorate with comprehensive, timely, and easily accessible information on candidates and the issues up for a vote. Our mission is to prioritize the questions and needs of the public, and be a point of contact between candidates, issues, and our entire community. Kicking off our official "Off the Record" election programming is a whistle stop tour of the 14 statewide ballot measures up for a vote this year. KOTO's Statehouse Reporter Lucas Brady Woods gives a rundown on everything from rank choice voting to abortion to hunting.
Colorado voters will weigh in on a proposed ban on hunting mountain lions, sparking a debate that reflects deeper divisions across the state. In this special statewide call-in show, we explore the ballot measure at the heart of this conversation, dive into the contrasting views on wildlife management and hunting, and examine how these issues can deepen the urban-rural divide in Colorado.
This week on Regional Roundup, we'll offer tips on how to be ready for a natural disaster. We'll also hear from Colorado residents working on wildfire mitigation in hopes of keeping insurance costs down. Plus, some of the world's fastest drivers gathered recently at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats to set speed records in their homemade hot rods, but the future of the World of Speed race is in question.

After Glassdoor's acquisition of Fishbowl in 2023, they enlisted the help of Deanna German, Creative Director at Koto, and her team to reposition them as more than just a workplace insight platform, but a place for community conversation. The catch: Glassdoor requested an open design process, meaning Koto would share design concepts with the public early and often. How can you have such a wide range of feedback and still move forward with work you believe in? This episode may be about transparency, but you're just going to have to listen for yourself to get the full story.To see the change of brand for yourself, visit achangeofbrand.com or follow us on Instagram @changeofbrand.Created by Matchstic (matchstic.com / @matchstichouse), hosted by Blake Howard (@blakehoward), co-hosted by Tracy Clark, edited and scored by ATAM Audio, fact-checked and coordinated by Jill Jeffires, produced by Brianna Belcher, and artwork by Stephanie Kim.
