Patrick Collister is non-exec Creative Director at Ad-Lib, and Editor of Directory Magazine. He is also one of the few people to have had serious Creative Director roles in adland (Ogilvy) as well as in digital organisations (Google). So what has changed over the course of his career? Why do people keep harking back to the good old days – and what has happened to the funny ad? Jane and Patrick talk about the importance of format, the definition of advertising ‘craft', the emergence of new platforms, and the demise of the ‘big idea'. They discuss how creative and effective advertising (and the role of CMO) may look in the future… and whether any of the big UK Christmas ads this year hit the mark.

What are the biggest problems staring agencies and clients in the face right now? How do we overcome the need for more storytellers rather than business people? What advice would Patrick give to marketers that are 20 years in, and interns that are 20 days in? "When good things go wrong, that can be the making of something." This quote reflects the sentiment of the entire Love This podcast series, but is essential to understanding how we can shift the industry forwards from today. A must listen for any senior marketer, agency lead and anyone in between.

Award Shows are in the news. Publicis Groupe is boycotting Cannes 2018 and WPP is considering its participation. So we go back to basics and ask where did award shows come from and do they really add value? Or are they just self-indulgent? Contributions come from Mat Zucker of Prophet and Brandon Hampton of Moxie, as well as regulars Steve Harrison and Patrick Collister of The Zoo, EMEA. Listen for a lively discussion and the worst pun you will hear this year!
In this episode, Nick explores the role of the Creative Director in the company of Nancy Vonk, one of the Creative Directors who gave us Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty, Steve Mykolyn, former CCO of Taxi, Patrick Collister, ECD of The Zoo at Google EMEA, Steve Harrison, founder of HTW, Bob Lukasik, ECD at IBM IX, and Lori Hamilton of Prosperity Productions. Together they discuss what the CD does and whether CDs deserve their sometimes mythic status.

Finally, we note the lack of diversity in the world of Creative Direction and Nick promises to revisit the topic in a future episode.
