What's the ‘this' in your business? Neil Waller is the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Whalar Group. They're a global creator company. Whalar have done as much as anyone, and more than most, to catalyze the creator economy. And as you'll hear, it was inspired by a conversation with and an unforgettable provocation from Sir John Hegarty. But behind their success lies a characteristic that I find is often underappreciated and therefore in short supply, among most creative leaders. Commitment. I've mentioned before on this podcast that we've developed a diagnostic tool that can tell, is your company deliberately unlocking creativity or just hoping that it shows up? One of the gaps that shows up over and over again is a leader's commitment to the company's goals. Companies and leaders say one thing and then often do another. But when you find leaders that are truly committed to building a business that delivers world class creative thinking and answers, then how fast they can do that suddenly becomes an incredibly valuable conversation To create is to learn. And the faster we can do both, the better your business and the world becomes. So what's the ‘this' in your business? And how committed are you to making it happen?

Sir John Hegarty or Jon Evans? What if you had to pick between two of your closest industry friends… ..on camera?That's exactly the dilemma we threw at Orlando Wood, CIO at System1, in his Fast & The Curious.

Mim Haysom’s world-beating, Cannes-winning One House initiative at Suncorp in 2022 was a big bold bet on innovative, mould-breaking marketing that Suncorp’s executive leadership and board only saw days before a documentary on the initiative was set to broadcast on Nine. “The first time the board saw One House, I took them into the auditorium and played them the 26-minute documentary three nights before it was going live on Channel Nine,” says Suncorp’s Executive GM, Brand & Customer Experience. “The accountability for creativity stops with me … I set myself up that way from the get-go.” Haysom is also the person who tells the CFO she needs incremental money for performance media – and not to siphon it out of brand. “Insurance search terms [at peak cost of living crunch] were 50 per cent up year on year. They are about 35 per cent up now. With that there is opportunity to pump more money into search to capture demand. So, I've absolutely been doing that,” she says. “But what I've been doing is writing business cases to say … we don’t touch brand … because if you haven't got that awareness, consideration, if you're not building trust in your brand – especially in insurance – then people won't convert in the lower levels anyway.” Legendary adman Sir John Hegarty couldn’t agree more. “The trouble is we live in a bubble called commerce, and the people out there don't – they live in a world called ‘engage me, entertain me’,” he says. It’s a challenge Val Morgan Cinema’s Guy Burbidge has been wrestling with for cinema. There’s an "awful lot more measurement conversations” which Burbidge says is a "good thing ... but it’s an increasingly binary conversation about reach and cost and not the power of a [media] platform and creativity. “We've gone down too much science, arguably, with too many ones and zeros and cost and reach and algorithms. The next piece of work for us is talking to the creative community to understand how do you take advantage of those cultural moments created by movies and cinema as they come up.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Advertising agencies and marketing people use different techniques to push our buttons. Humour is one. But what about fear? Do they sometimes try to scare us into buying? Or is it a gentler art- playing on our insecurities about things like old age, poor health or thinning hair?

It may never quite have opened its doors in Australia - the closest it came was Singapore - but its local influence on advertising is still remarkable with many of its alumni having built agencies locally.Created four decades ago by John Bartle, Nigle Bogle and John Hegarty, BBH is now owned by Publicis.Sir John Hegarty - who also cofounded Saatchi & Saatchi and TBWA - is behind some of BBH's most celebrated ads. In February he'll be coming to Australia as part of his Business of Creativity course.In this wide ranging conversation with Unmade's Tim Burrowes, Sir John discusses the sliding doors moment early in his career as an art director when he ended up paired with copywriter Charles Saatchi; how a black sheep came to define his career; and the nature of creativity.He also explains his provocative premise that the reason why Sydney is not a great creative hub is because the weather is too good. "A lot of creativity comes out of struggle. You can't sit outside a lovely beach bar and have a beer. You've got to go in and have an idea.”Sir John also argues that the only way for creatives to stay relevant is to stay in touch not just with culture, but with their surroundings. “If you're a creative person, please, will you take those f*****g headphones off? Great creative people are absorbers. They absorb things around them all the time.”He also tackles the separation of media from creative agencies: “one of the greatest mistakes our industry made”.And he shares the anecdote of how his second thoughts about a weak campaign his agency had already sold in, became the acclaimed “Cream of Manchester” ad for beer brand Boddingtons.Further links:* Business of Creativity* Training Day:* The Stormtrooper Scandal* Apple TV: Stones in Exile* Disney+: The Beatles: Get Back* Hegarty on Creativity: There are No Rules* Leonardo Da Vinci by Walter Isaacson* Backstory book subscriptionToday's podcast was edited by Abe's Audio.If you're interested in retail media, don't forget that earlybird tickets are now on sale for the next edition of REmade on October 1.

Does your AI do what you need it to do? This episode is part of a series of conversations I've been having in partnership with the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity. Over the last few weeks, I've been focusing my study of leadership through a single lens, the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Creative Industries. I'd planned on ending the series with my interview of Sir John Hegarty, but I recorded two bonus episodes during Cannes that I felt were an important part of the conversation. Adam Tucker is the Global Account Lead at WPP for Mondelez, and he reached out to me after listening to the first few episodes in this series. He pointed out that while we were focusing on how AI will impact the process of how the creative industries work, we hadn't talked about how it is already changing the work itself. WPP has made a significant investment in AI. The press reports that it's spending about $318 million annually in WPP Open, a set of AI capabilities that are now available to its 35,000 employees around the world. Adam explained why from his perspective, this investment creates a competitive advantage. I'm not an AI expert, nor have I seen WPP Open firsthand, to pass any judgment on its capabilities, and whether it is in fact superior to other forms of AI that are publicly available. This conversation is not intended to convince you whether WPP has created a competitive advantage or not. What it does establish is one clearly differentiated benchmark in the ecosystem of AI that are now springing up across the creative industries, and therefore, it provides one measurement against which to evaluate your own relationship with artificial intelligence. I'll wrap this series this week with one more bonus episode and then a recap. In the meantime, thanks for listening.

Are you willing to dare?  This episode is the last in a series of conversations that I'm having in partnership with the Cannes Lion Festival of Creativity. For the weeks leading up to Cannes and during Cannes, we focused our study of leadership through a single lens. The impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Creative Industries. Are we moving fast enough? Are we going far enough? Is this an opportunity to fundamentally redesign the creative industries? Or should we adjust and iterate, slowly and carefully? There are opportunities and risks around every corner. This episode's guest is Sir John Hegarty. He's the Co-Founder of Bartle Bogle Hegarty and one of the most original thinkers of the last 40 plus years. Sir John is a reference point for an industry that has changed a lot, and also not very much over those four plus decades. The through lines that mattered, then still matter today. Confident, disruptive thinking. At a time when the future is waiting to be invented, like never before, Sir John's description of the atmosphere that leaders need to create is time tested. Only time will tell whether it is timeless. Next week, we'll have a couple of bonus episodes before I wrap up the series, and give you my thoughts on the impact of AI on the creative industries, based on the conversations that I've been having. In the meantime, thanks for listening.

He joined a small ‘going places' Soho agency, John Collings & Partners. They did – out of town. In 1967 he joined the Cramer Saatchi consultancy which became Saatchi & Saatchi in 1970, where he was a founding shareholder. One year later he was appointed Deputy Creative Director. Sir John left in 1973 to co-found TBWA, London, as Creative Director. The agency was the first to be voted Campaign magazine's Agency of the Year in 1980. He left in 1982 to start Bartle Bogle Hegarty. Four years later in 1986, BBH was also voted Campaign's Agency of the Year, and won the title once again in 1993.

Around 70 million pairs of denim jeans are sold every year in the UK. They come in a dizzying array of shapes and styles, but the essentials haven't changed since they were first conceived in the Californian gold rush 150 years ago. Charlotte Stavrou and Amit Katwala continue their exploration of our culture of consumption by unpicking our abiding love affair with denim. Mohsin Sajid, denim designer and lecturer at some of the UK's top fashion colleges, takes us through the history of denim which originated as tough workwear, to its golden age of 1950s American youth culture. Meanwhile, Bryan Szabo who runs an annual raw denim fade competition - the Indigo Invitational - explains how denim allows wearers to leave an imprint on their clothes and tell a unique story. Sir John Hegarty discusses his agency's relaunch of Levi's 501 jeans in the 1980s when an irresistible combination of visual and music references made this item so desirable it became a symbol of rebellion in the Cold War. We hear from Nicolai Khalezin of the Belarus Free Theatre about how denim was used in Belarus to bolster a protest movement.

Chuck Berry is just one of the tunes Sir John plays during this hour of terrific radio. We hear from Sir John Hegarty  all about his life as an advertising executive and what it was to be a founder of the worldwide ad agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty. 

Sir John Hegarty is the British Adman extraordinaire, and the industry's favourite contrarian. He's the founder of BBH, one of London's best established and most successful ad agencies, and the brains behind decade-defining campaigns for Levis, Audi, British Airways and Johnny Walker.  This is an episode from the Gentleman's Journal archive — we recorded it back in the summer of 2018, but it's only just seen the light of day. Thankfully, Hegarty's advice, Oracle-like insight and counterintuitive outlook are timeless.  In this episode, we spoke about how humour can always save a campaign; about the birth of Flat Eric; about how, actually, you don't learn much from your failures; and about how storytelling gave birth to the modern human race. 

Sir John Hegarty was the Founder and Worldwide Creative Director of BBH. He is one of the most legendary figures in advertising history. John started his career in 1965 as a junior art director in London. By the late 60s he was a founding partner of Saatchi & Saatchi. In 1973 he co-founded TBWA London. In 1982, John joined forces with partners John Bartle and Nigel Bogle to found BBH, which quickly became one of the most revered global agencies of the three plus decades to follow. BBH won every award and accolade imaginable, including being named the first ever “Agency of the Year” at Cannes in 1993, then again in 1994. Throughout his career, John led paradigm shifting campaigns for clients like Levi’s, Audi, Lynx and Johnnie Walker. Among his many legacies, he helped pioneer the importance of music in commercials, with BBH helping propel nine #1 hits over the years. In 1994, he was awarded the D&AD President’s Award for outstanding achievement. In 2005, he was given the Clio Lifetime Achievement Award, and inducted into the One Club Hall of Fame. In 2008 he was inducted into the Art Director’s Club Hall of Fame. In 2011, he became the first ever recipient of The Lion of St. Mark award at Cannes for lifetime achievement. In 2007, John received a knighthood for services to advertising. Today he leads the Garage Soho, an investment firm and consultancy for early stage consumer brands.

Bartle Bogle Hegarty is still one of the most respected agencies in the world of advertising and the creative founder, Sir John Hegarty, is one of the most revered names. Such is his renown that in 2007 he was knighted for his services to advertising. (Mine is still in the post.) Sir John and I formed a close relationship while spending several minutes in a lift together in a hotel in Cannes in 2006. I felt that was a strong enough bond to ask him on the podcast and, it being the lockdown and everything, he couldn’t think of a reason not to. For those of you who wonder why John is on this New Zealand advertising podcast I should point out that his wife is a Kiwi and that they come over here every February to get away from the London winter. Subjects we discussed include his love for New Zealand, where he gets his suits, why he hates scams, his Cannes jury experiences, who is the great unsung hero of world advertising, and how we should look to come out of Coronavirus lockdown. Many people sent in questions, and I asked as many of those as he had time for. It was a lot of fun; I think you’ll enjoy a listen.

The US is home to 15 of the world’s 20 most valuable tech firms. In Europe we have one. Big Tech is unquestionably a stateside thing. Silicon Valley is where the smart ideas find the most willing piles of money. America is also where controversy rages loudly over how to bring the tech giants to heel, so that they act in the public interest. Tech tycoons have faced roastings in Washington for their firms’ privacy lapses. Elizabeth Warren, a senator who is running for president in 2020, wants Facebook to be broken up. She wants a platform utility to be defined as any internet entity with global revenues over $25 billion. In Europe the recently re-appointed competition commissioner Margaret Vestager has said: “we’re trying to get a hold on this industrial revolution that’s happening right now...it’s very important to get up to speed quickly.” The author Franklin Foer has argued that tech is different from the sort of monopolies run by robber baron oil tycoons and bankers in the previous two centuries. “More than any previous coterie of corporations , the tech monopolies aspire to mould humanity into their desired image of it. They believe that they have the opportunity to complete the long merger between man and machine - to redirect the trajectory of human evolution.” The heat is on. Eric Schmidt, who recently left the board of Alphabet, said during his tenure as executive chairman : “I wake up in the morning and I fight regulation. It’s what I do. It’s my job.” His company has now been censured and fined by the EU three times since 2014 and earlier this year got a ticket for $1.7 billion. The share price went up. When it comes to competition Big Tech likes to muscle out or acquire any threatening minnows with promising ideas. The FANGS hoovered up 436 companies in the last ten years. Where the argument was once - “It’s free! How can we be anti-competitive if customers aren’t paying for our service” is heard less frequently these days. So, what is to be done? Governments are frequently ham-fisted when it comes to regulating industries about which they have scant understanding. Where has the trust gone? This podcast includes interviews with Eithne O’Leary, President of SNEL and head of Group, London, Stifel and also Peter Globokar of Stifel; Baroness Denise Kingsmill one time Deputy Chair of the UK Competition and counsel in anti-trust matters to Microsoft; Sir John Hegarty, one of Britain’s most esteemed ad men and now early stage tech investor; and Rachel Coldicott, CEO of the think tank doteveryone.

Design Your Life podcast E021 with Vince Frost in conversation with British advertising legend and all-round creative luminary, Sir John Hegarty. One of the most successful, awarded and respected men in advertising, John is an international luminary of the creative scene. A household name in London, he's an uncompromising creative person, accomplished author, rule-breaker and game-changer, who has spent six decades generating ideas that have changed the world. John co-founded TBWA in 1973, before starting Bartle Bogle Hegarty in 1982 with his friends and colleagues, John Bartle and Nigel Bogle. He was creative director of BBH for 30 years, where he created some of the defining campaigns of the decade, such as Audi's “Vorsprung durch Technik” and “The Lynx Effect” for Unilever, which turned Lynx into a global bestseller, as well as the infamous ‘launderette' campaign for Levi's, which sold over 2 million boxer shorts in one year. In 2007, John was knighted for his services to the advertising and creative industries. In this episode, John talks about idiots in the industry and how the management running the show will inevitably lead to another creative revolution in advertising. “Creative people make the changes”, he says. “They need to come back and fight for what they believe in.” A champion of storytelling, a master of challenging the status quo and a true ideas man; on the list of inspiring creative people, he's at the top.

Design Your Life podcast E020 with Vince Frost in conversation with Andrei Dolnikov, Russian-Australian Interior Architect, Architectural Visualiser and Orthodox Hasidic Rabbi. Andrei Dolnikov came to Australia as an 11-year old Russian immigrant with nothing but his family, $2,000 and a Persian rug. After graduating art school in Australia, he made the pilgrimage to Israel where he spent six years living in Jerusalem studying to become an Orthodox-Hasidic Rabbi, rediscovering the spiritual roots that he had been denied while growing up in the Soviet Union. Now, Andrei is a visionary creative leader who specialises in bespoke, considered and memorable architectural images. He started his own business in his spare room in a small Sydney apartment, jokingly referred to as “Suite 9”, after working as a visualiser in Pittsburgh (USA). He has since guided Binyan – a now international studio with locations all over the world – to its place as a leader in the field. In this episode, Andrei reveals his story of discovering his spiritual roots, creating a business in a 2-bedroom apartment while studying full time, working as a practicing rabbi and caring for a wife and two kids. He shares how bringing together the “seemingly contradicting” threads of his life are what excites him most, and how he himself strives to break stereotypes by being a living contradiction: “I want to be the Hasidic *and* the hipster.” Stay tuned for the next Design Your Life episode featuring British advertising legend Sir John Hegarty! binyan.com.au frostcollective.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Imagine the world’s most awarded advertising school. Perhaps you’re picturing it housed in an imposing campus of magnificient Edwardian buildings made of stone and marble, or a gleaming high rise in midtown Manhattan.

Sir John Hegarty, creative founder of global advertising agency BBH, is the latest guest on Movidiam Creative Leaders Podcast. He debates with us about what he sees as industry misconceptions - the importance of data, the failings of incorporated agencies, the potential threat of AI - and reveals his predictions for the future at the launch of his new venture, The Garage.

Our guest this week is the advertising giant Sir John Hegarty. As the co-founder of ad agency BBH and creator of acclaimed campaigns for brands such as Levi’s, Audi, BA and Johnnie Walker, Hegarty has been a leader in the advertising industry for more than 50 years. In our interview with him he reveals some of his creative tricks (lose the headphones) and “when the world zigs, zag” – words which went on to become the BBH’s mantra.

Since it’s episode 75 of the Arrest All Mimics podcast, somebody allowed me to slip through the net to spend an hour with one of creativity’s greatest minds. Sir John Hegarty is quite simply an advertising legend. He is one third of BBH, advertising agency renowned for their innovative campaigns. With half a century of work in the creative industry under his belt, John talks about what exactly constitutes creativity. It’s one of the big questions in life and somehow, he manages to make it all sound so easy. As the creative director behind the iconic Levi campaigns of the 1990’s, including iconic yellow puppet, Flat Eric, John explains how he had to fight for the idea to switch to a puppet hero for a fashion brand. He also made the decision to use vorsprung durch technik in its native German form for Audi’s campaign. How crucial is positive thinking and turning a disadvantage into an advantage? We break down the fundamentals of creativity and why fun, passion, observation and irreverence play such integral roles in achieving greatness. What is creativity to you? @arrestallmimics on Twitter
