In 2023, Goodby Silverstein & Partners created the Doritos Super Bowl spot featuring Jack Harlow, Missy Elliott, and Elton John. On this episode, I sat down with GS&P's Chief Creative Officer and Partner, Margaret Johnson, to talk all things Super Bowl. It's a behind the scenes into what it takes to get from concept to the big game, and beyond. About Margaret Johnson: Margaret is a 25-year veteran of GS&P and leads the agency's Creative department, a position she assumed in 2015 after being named a partner in 2012. In 2016 she was named the agency's first Chief Creative Officer. Under her leadership, GS&P was named the “Most Innovative Advertising Agency” and the 36th “Most Innovative Company” in the world by Fast Company in 2021, “Agency of the Year” by Campaign and Forbes with Ad Age picking the agency as a runner-up to “Agency of the Year” in 2019 and 2020. In 2021 Ad Age crowned Margaret “Chief Creative Officer of the Year” and Campaign named Margaret “Creative Person of the Year.” Over the years, she has been recognized as one of the industry's top chief creative officers by Forbes, Business Insider, Adweek and The Drum. Margaret serves on the board of the One Show, was a founding member of the 3% conference and co-founded non-profit Daughters of the Evolution with her daughter, Vivian, who was nine years-old at the time. In 2019, the non-profit created Lessons in HerStory, an app that was launched at SXSW and uses augmented reality to celebrate stories of women typically omitted from history textbooks. Over the past year, the app won every coveted creative award, including Gold Cannes Lions and the prestigious White Pencil at D&AD. About GS&P: We are a creative company that puts people at the center of everything we do. We work with both clients and consumers in an atmosphere of honesty and truth, wiping away preconceptions and learning together.   Our mission is to create experiences that reach millions and even billions, but seem to speak only to you. We call this effect mass intimacy. The smarter, braver work that results from this approach brings people closer to our clients' businesses, gets them to care, and urges them to take action. Because great work is only great if it reaps results.

Margaret Johnson started her career at the bottom of the totem pole at San Francisco-based creative agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners. Twenty-five years later, she's running the creative department as chief creative officer. Johnson rose to the top with persistence and hard work, but also by building her own brand — advice she gives to younger female employees looking to make a name for themselves in the business. She's led Goodby's team in creating award-winning Super Bowl spots for brands such as Sam Adams and Doritos, all the way through using AI to recreate people's dreams for the Dalí Museum. In this episode, Johnson talks about her career, how she brings others along for the ride and how innovation is reshaping the work the agency does. Listen to this episode and subscribe to Campaign Chemistry wherever you get your podcasts. What we know about advertising, you should know about advertising.

BEST OF SEASON 1 - MARKUANN SMITH In this podcast we talk with Markuann about his early life growing up on the streets of Far Rockaway in Queens, working in the Hip Hop and R & B world going on the road with his brother, Father MC, and in recent years how he came up with the idea to create the “Godfather of Harlem” series on Epix.  Markuann was born in Harlem, New York, Markuann spent a majority of his early life in Queens, attending Far Rockaway High School and, later on, Garden State Academy. As a child, growing up on the rough streets of Far Rockaway in Queens he found refuge at home watching a lot of films. This exposure nurtured his love for the craft of film, as he considered those movies an escape from his reality.  From his life on the road with Father MC, he spent 16 years working at BET and during that time he became very close with his Godmother, Margaret Johnson who was the granddaughter of the famed Harlem gangster, Ellsworth Raymond Johnson aka Bumpy Johnson. It was through listening to the stories Margaret Johnson told him that he came up with the story that is the basis for the series, “Godfather of Harlem”. Markuann is very honest about his bumpy road to success. His mission in life is to follow his passion not his pension while never giving up because failure is not an option.

Julie and Casey sit down with Cindy Gallop to learn the secret to saying what you really think. Along the way they discuss all kinds of "taboo" subjects, including ageism, anger, the future of porn and social sex, what the tech bros get so very wrong, why Cindy can't get funding for her world-changing startup, and how she plans to bring about world peace. TOP TAKEAWAYS — Be your own filter to attract “your” people and repel the ones who don’t get you. The future of business is doing good and making money simultaneously. Her company, Make Love/Not Porn, came out of her real-life experience with the consequences of the convergence of two real world problems: our inability to talk about sex, and the ubiquitousness of access to hard core pornography.  Her giant goal is to socialize real world sex and good sexual practices and values, so that we can talk about it both in public and in private. When you concept a venture around existing bias and prejudices, you only reenforce them. You have to build the future into your product from the beginning, and you design with enormous respect for your community. Ageism affects EVERYONE at every single point along the age spectrum. “Sexual harassment has kept out of leadership and power the women leaders who would MAKE diversity and inclusion happen”—and it’s time to both legitimize women’s anger and encourage men to get angry about it too.  Identify your values so that you can act upon them - then, instead of worrying about being brave or feeling confident, you simply act in the way that honors that. Women should “bullshit like the men do”, because chances are, you’ll just finally be giving your talent, experience, and brilliance what they’re worth. VITAL VOICE TRAINING COMMUNICATION SKILL: Define your communication core values to understand your habits and make powerful choices to show up the way you want to be seen in the world. Cindy’s 2017 Keynote for the 3% Conference— https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruowB5L33gY Cindy’s TED Talk— https://www.ted.com/talks/cindy_gallop_make_love_not_porn     CINDY GALLOP is a graduate of Somerville College, Oxford, whose background is over 30 years in brand-building, marketing and advertising - she started up the US office of ad agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty in New York in 1998 and in 2003 was named Advertising Woman of the Year.  She is the founder and CEO of IfWeRanTheWorld, co-action software  launched in beta at TED 2010  and subsequently written up and taught as a Harvard Business School case study, which enables brands to implement the business model of the future – Shared Values + Shared Action = Shared Profit (financial and social). She is also the founder of MakeLoveNotPorn – ‘Pro-sex. Pro-porn. Pro-knowing the difference’ - a social sextech platform designed to promote good sexual behavior and good sexual values, which she launched at TED 2009, and for which she has raised $2million to build out mlnp.tv as ‘the Social Sex Revolution’.  As a result of the funding challenges she has encountered, she is raising the world’s first and only sextech fund, AllTheSky Holdings. She acts as board advisor to a number of tech ventures and works as a personal brand/life/executive coach and a consultant on brand and business innovation for companies around the world, describing her consultancy approach as 'I like to blow shit up.

TROOPERS is a new series of ours starting today. It's about the women in our communities who get things done, and many of them are volunteers. We begin with Margaret Johnson who works as a volunteer at Chester Storyhouse which is a cinema, theatre and library. She runs the Chatter and Natter group We've got more on the Dominic Cummings situation and his trip to Durham. Katy Balls from the Spectator and Helen Lewis from the Atlantic discuss things said in last night's press conference which might have leapt out for women especially. Following on from yesterday's programme about during lockdown, today we talk about what postnatal support is there for you. We hear from Linzy Thurlaway who's a midwife, antenatal educator and who also runs postnatal and baby massage courses. She has a Facebook group called Antenatal and Postnatal Education Group North East. The Sunday Times Rich List 2020 includes a record number of women, but it's still only 150 out of 1000 people. The number from BAME backgrounds is even lower. We speak to Annabelle Williams who's the author of Why Women Are Poorer Than Men and What We Can Do About It.

Margaret Johnson is the Chief Creative Officer at Goodby Silverstein & Partners, one of the foremost advertising agencies in the US, and also serves on the board of the One Show and Facebook’s Creative Council. But it didn't come easy. As an aspiring creative straight out of school, Margaret did everything but go through the motions. She knew that in order to find success, she had to be willing to put in the work - even if that meant cold calling fifty different advertising agencies. Margaret walks us through her journey to success, and also dives into other topics including Goodby cultural rituals and the future of remote work.

Margaret Johnson, Chief Creative Officer at Goodby Silverstein & Partners, joins Best Known Method to speak with host Ethan J. Weiss about why becoming a mother "...was the best thing that ever happened..." to her career, the philosophy of 'mass intimacy', and her view on Influencer Marketing.This episode is sponsored by Key Eats.

At the dawn of the Civil War two escaped slaves made their way to Winona, one found success, the other destitution. In her latest play, “Mister James and Mister Jeff,” retired Third District Court judge and playwright Margaret Johnson explored the men’s lives and the impact Winona had on their fates. This week on Inside Winona we sat down to talk with Johnson to talk about her latest production which premier at the Masonic Temple Theater May, 16-19.

In this episode, I talked to Margaret Johnson, Chief Creative Officer of the famous Ad Agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners – known for producing big ads for the likes of Doritos, Pepsi and much more. There are a lot of great lessons that Margaret imparts during our conversation, including the fact that she sees having children as THE best thing that enriched not only her life but her career too. She also talks about her favourite motto to ‘stay scrappy’ and not look for inspiration in the traditional places but instead to go out, read books and experience life.

n a deepening of our topic from last week, we get into the nitty gritty of anti-racism as spiritual practice this week. With our guests Abraham and Margaret, we examine what happens when we let go of the goal of being "good white people," humbly acknowledge the our complicity in racist and white supremacist cultures, and settle in for the long haul work of enacting paradigm change within ourselves, our communities, and our culture.  Margaret Johnson is an activist, a healer, and a spiritual seeker. She cut her teeth working for social change in the Catholic worker movement, and is inspired by the work of the Ayni Institute and the Momentum organizing community in developing frameworks for strategic organizing while upholding relational culture. Margaret is a licensed massage therapist and a Kundalini yoga teacher, and has participated in several activist movements and organizing communities. Abraham Lateiner works to create spaces for people with dominant power to experience the freedom of surrender. He has found that when such people experience the “power-with” that comes with aligning with movements led by people at the margins of society, they can learn how to support those movements in sustained, sustainable, and sustaining ways. That, he believes, would be a true freedom. He is part of the core team of Freedom Beyond, a decentralized network of small circles of people seeking freedom from white supremacy.

We covered a lot of ground in this week's HRN Happy Hour. Kat and Caity are joined by Jordan Werner, a delightful third wheel if there ever was one. First, we talk about what's going on around Heritage Radio Network: A Taste of The Past takes a close look at the question, "What is authentic Irish Food?" with Irish-American cookbook author Margaret Johnson. Lauren Singer of The Simply Co. stops by Radio Cherry Bombe with her story about fitting on years' worth of waste into a 16 oz mason jar. Phil Gilmour of The Main Course welcomed Chef Mike Lewis of YO! Sushi into the studio to tease the restaurants' opening, complete with a mini sushi conveyor belt. Next, Jordan tells us about all the action that went down at the Just Food Conference, where more than 1,000 community organizers, urban and rural farmers, CSA members, educators, and local food enthusiasts gathered for a full day of interactive workshops, policy discussions, and good food. We share some favorite memories about Lucky Peach Magazine, which is set to fold later this year – including the time Kat brought David Chang, Chris Ying, and Gabriele Stabile to the Iron Bowl, resulting in an article aptly titled "Insane." Other news worth discussing: the James Beard Award Nominees and Michelle Obama's guest appearance on Master Chef Jr. For our first guest, we welcome Larry Boukal on the phone. Larry is the General Manager of Cannonball Express Transportation, a refrigerated trucking company based in Omaha Nebrasaka. We find out what effect the winter storm had on his trucks (which are deployed to all 48 continental states). Speaking of trucks – we take a grammatical deep-dive into a legal battle between a group of truckers and Oakhurst Dairy about overtime pay that centers around the ever-controversial Oxford Comma. The state law that outlines what is not included in overtime pay reads as: The canning, processing, preserving, freezing, drying, marketing, storing, packing for shipment or distribution of: (1) Agricultural produce; (2) Meat and fish products; and (3) Perishable foods. After a quick break, we welcome John Lewis and Ben Garbee from Lewis BBQ in Charleston, SC to talk about how they got started smoking meats in the Holy City and what they have planned for their weekend in New York. To wrap up the show, we get schooled by Jimmy Carbone about the real meaning of St. Patrick's Day, and it has nothing to do with the mobs of tourists in green shirts!

Everyone is a little bit Irish on St. Patrick's Day, or so the saying goes. It's a celebration that's been going on in America since the mid 1700's. And except for the soda bread, the food of the day is anything but Irish. Irish-American cookbook author Margaret Johnson joins us to talk about the background of some of these dishes and others that have stayed true to their roots.

Rumi Forum and the Institute for Islamic and Turkish Studies (IITS) held a panel on the role of community and faith leaders in countering radicalization on Sunday, April 12, 2015. The Institute for Islamic and Turkish Studies and the Rumi Forum held a panel to discuss the role of community and faith leaders in countering extremism. As radical movements have become increasingly destructive, it is crucial to recognize how and why religion is twisted into a radical tool of conflict and divisiveness–especially since extremism is broadcasted globally through media. The moderator of the panel, Dr. Margaret Johnson, expressed her deep concerns of the abuses of religion and its destructive consequences, especially with regards to youths. How can radical groups like Boko Haram slit 43 young students’ throats? What are the origins of an un-Islamic group like Daesh (the Islamic State)? How can religious conflicts, such as those in the Yemeni Civil War, be avoided? The recognition and reconciliation of religious differences by leaders is crucial in order to prevent extremism and its consequential negative consequences. Beginning the discussion was Rabbi Gerald Serotta, who is the Founding Executive Director of Clergy Beyond Borders, currently he serves as the Executive Director of the Interfaith Conference of Metropolitan Washington. Rabbi Serotta outlined how the pluralism of Judaism is applicable and similar to other world religions. He said, “In terms of an organized world religion Judaism was first, and therefore had something of an advantage–if it chose to view Christianity and Islam as part of the story of what God wanted to do in the world.” Thus, he went on to explain, “God intended different spiritual paths to exist and coexist. Interreligious understanding, then, is necessary for their reconciliation and coexistence. The story of the Tower of Babel describes how God spread the people of Babel across the world to diversify their languages and religions so that they could recognize his glory more fully”. Rabbi Serotta indicated that this basic story is in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim texts, demonstrating that there are core similarities between religions, not just divisive differences that generate animosity and conflict. Therefore, “if we act with some humanity and humaneness in response to our connection with our enemies–that may shake them up a bit. This cognitive dissonance that can be created with generosity and common mourning is the answer to interfaith understanding and reconciliation”. He said, we must “offer the opportunity for dialogue – such as today – so that we can learn from each other and with each other to do what God wants most for humanity to do.” Following Rabbi Serotta in the discussion was Gail Hambleton, the Vice President of the Global Peace Foundation (US), working Director of Interfaith Partnerships, as well as the National Director of the Safe Haven Campaign: Interfaith Alliance to Abolish Human Trafficking. “Today,” she began, “we can see through media how we are affecting each other. We can experience the diversity of humanity immediately. We may feel that people, perhaps not of our specific group, are so extremely different that we cannot bridge those differences.” Feeling so dissimilar to one another, people are therefore less certain of their lifestyles and their support systems in providing a sense of belonging. “Technology brings us closer, but it also highlights our differences, and this is what must be overcome”. As Mrs. Hambleton indicated, terrorists, gangs, or other related groups are similar in their desire for meaning in their actions to fill the void they have from their lack of belonging or support, which results in their realization of the great differences between themselves and others. By invariably remaining within a social, religious, racial, or cultural group, a communication breakdown occurs between groups and conflicts arise, as Mrs. Hambleton observed during her time in Rwanda. When this conflict occurs, there is fighting, death, and destruction for all parties–everyone loses. To address this issue, the Global Peace Foundation has embraced the vision: ‘One family, under God’. She presented a solution in her thesis: ‘Social cohesion in diverse and pluralistic societies can be attained based on universal principles and shared values.’ The response to the 2010 earthquake in Haiti exemplified how people – across religious, national, and racial lines – united to assist the Haitian people in a time of tragedy. Compassion, love, and faith are what enable mutual understanding. Recognizing and accepting universal values in religion and civic duty are what cultivate social cohesion, she concluded. The final speaker of the panel was Imam Talib Sharif, President of the Nations Mosque, Masjid Muhammad. To begin, Imam Sharif cited Allah’s words just before the time of creation: “Come you together, willingly or unwillingly,” to which his creation said, “We come willingly.” Thus, God ended the chaos that was present before creation to create the world. This natural order, Imam Sharif explained, demonstrates that humans must live by the word of God, since that is what is natural and what inaugurated our existence. Our natural human identity is what supports and legitimizes other identities, so it is crucial that we recognize it to ensure humanity remains a socially cohesive, not fragmented into various groups. Humans come into the world with the most natural human tendencies: to smile, laugh, love – to connect to others. Over time, our childlike resilience is eroded, our peace of mind lost. He provided the example of Denver, Colorado, where he was a part of the Stop the Violence Campaign, addressing gang violence. In interviewing gang members, he found that they all joined to attain the sense of belonging and family that they evidently lost from their childhood. Imam Sharif said, “Everybody is crying out for something.” Extremists are doing the same, as they are “looking at some of the pictures that are affecting human life that are not getting enough attention.” In committing such heinous crimes, radicals lose their humanity and are divisive forces in society. Therefore, Imam Sharif believes, it is paramount that we stand firmly for justice to maintain our collective human identity, which is necessary for humanity to have peace amidst our diversity. He said, “In our nature, we all want justice,” and realizing that is the goal of interfaith dialogue.
