Creating is different to managing.Creators try to break rules, managers set them.Creators look inward, managers look outward.Creators are introverts, managers are extroverts.Not 100%, but most, AMV/BBDO once Myers Briggs tested their creative department.The results came back - fifty people were rated ‘I' (introvert), one was ‘E' - the creative boss (Peter Souter).I's are ‘more likely to be successful in careers like writing, science and art'.Makes sense.“I's are predominantly concerned with their own thoughts and feelings rather than with external things. Give an extrovert a problem and they'll share it with others, give it to an introvert and they'll ‘go into a cave alone to solve it'.(Try finding a cave these days. In Soho. Nightmare.)Today, creatives are often described as being “on the spectrum”.Whether their diagnosis is right or wrong, it's true, our brains are wired differently.It's fine when they need someone to look at a problem from a new angle.More difficult when they need someone to play the role of manager.That dark, cosy cave is swapped for bright, stranger-filled boardrooms.Primarily to pitch, possibly the furthest distance from that cave.You may be told to ‘have chemistry' with six strangers from the world of moist wipes.Or to present your funniest ‘jokes' to some folks about to spend £6m persuading the public that their product has isn't a cake, as its name suggests, it's actually a biscuit.It's an adjustment.Some adapt quicker than others.I found it tough.In the early days of CDD, clients having just left after a pitch, Peter Mead looked up at me and sighed “You should've seen David Abbott present creative work”.Heartbreaking.What did Abbott do?How did he present?I'd love to have seen him present creative work.But agencies rarely invest in training or mentoring, they lob you in and hope you can swim.It's like telling a footballer to “Put this helmet and shin pads on, you're now a Cricketer'.How do you make that transition less record scratchy?I thought it'd be helpful for those about to go through it to have a bit more understanding of where they're headed.To do this, I managed to pin down someone who knows more about pitching than anyone else; Martin Jones.He's sat on both sides of the table - he ran new business at the biggest agency in Britain at the time; J. Walter Thompson,then ran the biggest intermediary in the Country for the last thirty years; The AAR.Personally, he's run over a thousand over the last thirty years.It's meant that he's seen every agency and senior person pitch.I've known Martin since Arsenal's Invincibles team, over the years he's given me endless advice, but hearing him talk about his experience was a revelation.If you have anything to do with new business; listen, you'll be better at the end.Hope you enjoy it.

Students and staff at Holy Cross School in Eastport had a lot to be excited about in early October.

On Friday, in a ceremony in Calgary, author and advocate Gemma Hickey received a Governor General's Award. It was in commemoration of the Persons Case, which saw women legally recognized as 'persons' who could no longer be denied certain rights based on interpretation of the law. That case happened in Calgary 95 years ago - which is why the ceremony took place there instead of Rideau Hall in Ottawa. Hickey is the first transgender recipient of a Governor General's Award. While they were in Calgary, Hickey also requested a meeting with Alberta premier Danielle Smith, to address what they say is legislation that threatens the rights of transgender individuals. Martin Jones spoke with Hickey about the significance of the award and whether the meeting with premier Smith actually happened.

What does he think of Eklund's development? (2:25:10)
I share more conversations from my time at the European Healthcare Design 2024 Congress. This event brings together professionals worldwide involved in healthcare design to discuss innovative projects, solutions, and concepts to create better healthcare spaces and experiences.In this episode, Peter Shenai, a creative strategist from Art In Site, challenges us to rethink hospital environments beyond visual aesthetics. He shares how incorporating auditory, tactile, and olfactory elements can mitigate sensory harms and enhance patient experiences.We then transition to the artistic side of sensory hospital experiences with Paola Rozo, a visual facilitator who brings her expertise from international development to healthcare design. Paola's unique approach to visual documentation captures collective intelligence and fosters reflective processes crucial for patient care. Finally, Martin Jones, director at Art in Site, shares his vision for designing inclusive sensory hospitals. Martin emphasises balancing tangible data with creativity to design human-centred healthcare spaces. We explore real-life examples, including redesigning stroke patient rooms in Italy and illustrating the interplay between data and experiential evidence.Connect with Rolake Ojo:LinkedInInstagramWebsiteCheck out &MATTER:LinkedInInstagramResourcesLearn more about European Healthcare Design CongressLearn more about Art in SiteLearn more about about Martin JonesLearn more about Peter ShenaiLearn more about Paola RozoBrand New Dr. is produced and managed by Urban Podcasts.
