Visuals: https://getbehindthebillboard.com/episode-96-ajab-samraiEpisode #96 features Ajab Samrai, Ex-CCO of Ogilvy Japan, who not only brought incredible stories of nearly four decades in the business, but two enormous bags of apples from his orchard in the Malvern Hills.We discussed how Ajab started his career at Saatchi & Saatchi in 1987 as one of the first British born Asians to break into the industry, creating the iconic Commission for Racial Equality poster campaign. He became one of the youngest Creative Group Heads in the history of Saatchi's going on to work on some of the world's biggest brands.We discovered why he decided to ‘frighten himself' after his long tenure at Saatchi's to take up the challenge of Ogilvy Japan, an agency in a different country, with a different culture and different language. Plus the agency was stuck at the very bottom of the Ogilvy league. No pressure then!His story of success is a lesson in perseverance and belief with some incredible OOH projects for Tokyo FM and Uber Eats, helping Ogilvy Japan become agency of the year and Ajab was named Japanese creative of the year. This success helped push his awards tally to over 300, winning major honours at every show in the world.Listen to the craft that went into the Sagawa soy sauce campaign, where all the imagery was created by an artist using soy sauce. And hear how the Condomania campaign flirted with suffocating the cast on what must be one of the most insane shoots ever. We even had time to cover the Mount Fuji Rubbish Billboards which were anything but rubbish, cleaning up the mountain and at awards shows alike.Ajab thank you so much for being so generous with your stories (and your apples!). It was a real pleasure.Thanks to our sponsorsBauer Media OutdoorView2FillSuper OptimalGAS Music

Why Are Industrial Product Presentations Often So Dull? Industrial products are technical and specification-heavy. Salespeople often present them in dry, functional ways that mirror catalogues. Buyers tune out because they don't just buy specs—they buy confidence, trust, and belief. Mini-summary: Specs alone don't sell; buyers connect with confident, engaging salespeople. How Can Salespeople Move Beyond Features? Features are important, but benefits are what matter. A durable machine saves downtime and repairs. An easy-to-install product reduces disruption and costs. Linking benefits directly to a client's business creates relevance and excitement. Mini-summary: Translate features into applied benefits that directly improve the client's business. Why Should Numbers Be Used Creatively? Industrial products last years, which allows long-term savings calculations. But buyers also need to see short-term value. Breaking down savings into labour cuts, tax benefits, or immediate efficiencies ties the future to today's bottom line. Mini-summary: Frame long-term savings into immediate, bottom-line benefits. How Can Visuals Increase Buyer Engagement? Charts and graphs simplify comparisons. Videos showing installations or satisfied clients bring proof to life. With tablets and online tools, even technical evidence can be presented dynamically. Seeing is believing. Mini-summary: Visuals—from graphs to videos—make industrial product benefits vivid and real. What Lessons Can We Learn from Blendtec? Blendtec turned the blender into a viral sensation in 2007 with “Will It Blend?” By blending iPhones and iPads, they showed even mundane products can become captivating when presented creatively. Mini-summary: Creativity can transform the dullest product into a memorable story. What's the Key for Salespeople in This Market? Specs are essential, but not enough. Salespeople must connect benefits to client needs and support claims with evidence. Competitors who do this will win if your team doesn't. Mini-summary: Salespeople who integrate benefits, creativity, and evidence outperform those who just recite specs.

We break down this visually stunning "Year One" style origin story for DC's premier magician. From its unique narrative approach to its mastery of the female gaze, we explore how this comic redefines Zatanna for a new generation.

https://jo.my/vkgjpd Incident Reporting & Root Cause Analysis: How To Report An Incident Properly If something goes wrong in your facility — whether it's a near miss, property damage, or an injury - how quickly and clearly you report it can make a massive difference. This process isn't just about paperwork. It's about preventing repeat incidents, protecting your team, and keeping the facility running safely and smoothly. A strong Safety Culture starts with strong communication. When incidents get reported the right way, everyone wins. The issue gets addressed quickly. Hazards get removed. And most importantly, people stay safe. That's the point. Here are a few ways to keep your incident reporting process transparent and compelling: Report it immediately. If something happens —even if it seems small —report it right away. Don't wait until the end of your shift. Don't assume someone else will say something. Reporting delays can worsen the situation or cause details to be lost. Speak up fast. Be specific. Make sure your report answers the question: Who was involved? What exactly happened? When and where did it happen? How did it occur? If it helps, think like a detective. The clearer and complete your report is, the easier it'll be to take the right action. Document the scene—if it's safe to do so. If you can safely snap a few photos or jot down notes, do it. This process helps capture what happened before anything gets cleaned up or moved. Visuals can go a long way in understanding the whole picture. Just make sure it's safe before you do anything. Know the reporting system. Every facility has its own way of doing things. It could be a paper form or a digital tool. You could notify your supervisor first. Know the process. If you're not sure, ask before something happens—don't wait until you're in the middle of a situation. Always follow up. Reporting an incident is step one. But don't stop there. Check to ensure your Safety Coordinator or Maintenance has taken action. Did the hazard get removed? Was the issue corrected? Following up shows you're part of the solution—and it helps prevent future problems. As always, these are potential tips. Please be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility. Proper reporting isn't about getting someone in trouble. It's about learning from what went wrong and making the warehouse a safer place for everyone. One missed report can leave a risk in place. But one accurate, timely report? That could be the reason someone makes it home safely. And if you're ever unsure whether something should be reported—do it anyway. Overreporting is always safer than silence. Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time—have a great week, and STAY SAFE! #Safety #SafetyCulture #IncidentReporting #RootCauseAnalysis #FacilitySafety #ReportItRight #SafetyFirst

The Return of the Show This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are talking about the finales of Alien: Earth and The Terminal List: Dark Wolf (remember those shows?). Then delve into a baby pool of Gen V season 2. Finally… Tron: Ares. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Tron: Ares: 5:26 The Terminal List: 14:33 Alien Earth: 28:18 Tron: Ares (2025) Tron: Ares Release date: October 10, 2025 (theatrical) Director: Joachim Rønning Screenwriter: Jesse Wigutow (story also by Wigutow) Producers: Sean Bailey, Jeffrey Silver, Justin Springer, Jared Leto, Emma Ludbrook, Steven Lisberger Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures Music: Score composed by Nine Inch Nails. Runtime: ~1h 59m (119 minutes) Genre: Sci-fi / action / adventure Cast Jared Leto as Ares (Program) Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Jodie Turner-Smith, Hasan Minhaj, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, Gillian Anderson Jeff Bridges returns as Kevin Flynn (classic role) Plot Summary (Premise / What We Know) Premise: A sophisticated Program, named Ares, is sent from the digital Grid into the real world on a “dangerous mission,” marking humanity's first direct encounter with sentient A.I. Conflict: Ares is deployed to retrieve Kevin Flynn's permanence code (or a code enabling A.I. extension) from a rival tech CEO, Eve Kim. Ares gradually develops emotions, shifting the mission's stakes. Visuals & Style: Heavy neon, digital effects, light cycles, digital-real world blending. One trailer labels it “Filmed for IMAX.” Music / Sound: The score by Nine Inch Nails. They released a track “As Alive As You Need Me To Be.” Reception (early): Mixed. On Rotten Tomatoes, ~55% Tomatometer, but high audience score (~87%). Production notes: Filming took place in Vancouver, wrapped ~May 2024. Considerations The premise is intriguing (bringing a sentient A.I. into our world), but early reviews note that while the visuals are strong, the plot is sometimes thin or formulaic. Because Tron has a cult legacy and visual identity, expectations are high; missteps in character or plot substance tend to stand out. The Nine Inch Nails score is a bold choice (replacing Daft Punk's iconic Legacy sound) and could either elevate or distance fans depending on taste. The bridging between digital reality and human reality is always a tricky balance — the narrative will need to ground its sci-fi concepts in human stakes (emotions, morality) to avoid feeling hollow. The Terminal List: Dark Wolf (Amazon Prime) Series origin: A prequel to The Terminal List, based on the Jack Carr novel and characters. Creators: Jack Carr & David DiGilio Finale / Plot Summary In the finale, Ben Edwards (Taylor Kitsch) and James Reece rejoin forces to expose and dismantle a deep conspiracy that's been manipulating events behind the scenes. In one key sequence, Ben lures Iranian forces into what they think is a trap (a cabin in the mountains outside Tehran) — but it's a reverse ambush. Using hidden defenses, he turns the tide. When the soldiers breach the cabin, Ben's counterattack ignites, intercut with a Pink Floyd “Brain Damage” cue (a stylized flourish) After the finale, Ben's surviving allies spread out across Istanbul, Tehran, and Virginia to address the remaining threads and avenge fallen comrades. Reception / Notes The finale leans hard into action, retribution, and vengeance, with less room for emotional reflection. Some praised its boldness, others saw it as standard action fare wrapped in swagger. Because Dark Wolf is tied to The Terminal List universe, many viewers also weigh how it sets up or reframes earlier entries. Ratings Series Finale Out of 5, Truthful Conclusions Daryl: 4.5/5 Brian: 4.49/5 Series Out of 10, You Don’t Take a Man’s Wings Darryl: 8.3/10 Brian: 7.89/10 Alien: Earth (FX) Series creator / showrunner: Noah Hawley Episode title: “The Real Monsters” Writers: Noah Hawley & Migizi Pensoneau Director: Dana Gonzales Original air date: September 23, 2025 Runtime: ~47 minutes Franchise placement: It's the first TV series in the Alien franchise, set ~2 years before the original Alien film (so circa 2120) Season & Finale Summary Over the season, Wendy (a hybrid human-robot) and her brother Hermit (aka Joe) have been navigating a crash of the spaceship Maginot on Earth, corporate machinations (Prodigy vs Weyland-Yutani), and the threat of Xenomorphs. In the finale, several factions converge at Neverland (the Prodigy research facility). Arthur (a hybrid) gives birth to a second Xenomorph before dying, and the “adult” Xenomorph attacks. Meanwhile, Wendy and the Lost Boys forcibly take control of the facility, locking up Boy Kavalier, Dame Sylvia, Kirsh, Morrow, and Atom Eins in a cell. Wendy summons a Xenomorph to guard them. Joe is nearly fed to a single-eyed creature (“ocellus”) but survives; the ocellus ends up at Arthur's corpse on the beach, potentially taking him as a host. Wendy in the final moments stands over the locked cell and says, “Now, we rule.” She also confronts Boy K with the collapse of his Peter Pan mythology: “You were never a boy. You've always been a man.” Many critics note the finale is more of a cliffhanger than a neat wrap, raising big questions and leaving threads dangling for season 2.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 328: Kira Kelly, ASC Cinematographer Kira Kelly, ASC, had a rare opportunity in the movie HIM: exploring the genres of horror and sports, which are not usually combined. She and director Justin Tipping focused their discussions on Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), specifically how football-related brain injuries often cause hallucinations. This condition was central to building the feeling of surrealism for the main character, Cam. Before beginning the 8 weeks of prep on HIM, director Justin Tipping created an extensive lookbook with ideas for the atmosphere, lighting and costumes. To establish the film's unique, suspenseful, and surrealistic look, he suggested Kira watch The Holy Mountain and Black Swan. “Justin was open to lots of collaboration,” says Kira. “I feel like this film does have such a strong visual look because we were all working together to make the movie.” Camera movement, color, and lighting are all integral to the movie's storytelling. As Cam descends deeper into the underground compound, Kira used specific colors and lighting. She created a document to track the emotional influence of color for each scene, integrating the lighting into the set and programming the colors to change per sequence. Red with orange highlights was used for the Saviors party, reflecting the oxblood red of the team colors. Fuchsia and magenta were used to show rage. For the scenes on the training field, Kira used top lighting, so that the skin tones of the players would have some reflectivity. Kira's camera work parallels Cam's psychological journey. “At the beginning, it should be fun,” Kira explains. “He's playing football. It's much more loose.” The crew used handheld and body cameras, plus a boomerang rig that sent the camera flying down the field. Once Cam feels trapped in the compound, Kira shifted the style dramatically. “That's where we get into more of these center- punched static frames. He's trapped figuratively, and all the ways.” One of HIM's most unique visual elements was the use of a Flir thermal imaging camera. Kelly and Tipping wanted to use the thermal camera to visually represent the internal trauma of what was happening inside the players' bodies and brains during tackles. Kira and her crew created a rig to mount the Flir camera right above the ALEXA 35 and found that the images could converge and focus enough to allow the two images to overlay. The shots could flick back and forth between the regular camera and the thermal camera. In post, VFX added the brains and accentuated the muscles. The thermal camera effectively showed blood flow and hot and cold areas, adding a chilling layer to the physical impact of the sport. Kira feels gratified that her vision for the visual style of HIM tells an effective story. “As a DP, every challenge I have is if an audience is able to understand the story,” she says. “If they don't have the wonderful dialogue, if they don't have the music, if they don't have all of those other things helping the story along, could they tell what's happening just with the imagery? And I feel like with HIM, I say, yeah, I think so. You can see it happening. And that's what's super exciting to me.” See HIM in theaters and on VOD.

Visuals: https://getbehindthebillboard.com/episode-95-simkatEpisode #95 features Sim Sidhu and Katy David aka ‘SimKat', one of BBH's most brilliant and prolific young teams.We talked about their rise to fame at BBH after their time spent along the corridor at The BBH Barn Adschool, where they learnt the ways of the business from legendary and much missed tutor Tony Cullingham. One of Tony's classic questions he asked anyone at any level: “Are you having fun?”It's a really important question.Fun seems to run through much of SimKat's work. TC would be proud. Their proactive approach is a lesson in making shit happen.In an effort to secure their job they showed the then ECD Helen Rhodes an ad a day for BBH clients for an entire year. It paid off and they were soon winning awards for debut work on Barnardos and The Fire Safe Sari.Since then there's been great work on Audi, esp the recent Proms inspired campaign, creating musical scores to mimic the throaty sound of the more powerful Audi models.Arch Nemesis for BK was a triumph in cheekiness and speed of turnaround. Along the way they met Gordon Ramsey before their latest work, creating a bookshop to tell the world about the Monzo book of money. This audacious idea is a fully fledged bookstore called ‘Booknook' home to 3000 books each with a different front cover, all to help people better understand how to use their money.SimKat thank you so much for coming on.

AI-Powered Canvases: The Future of Visual Collaboration and InnovationAs hybrid and remote work become the standard, organizations are rethinking how teams brainstorm, align, and innovate. Traditional whiteboards and digital tools often fall short in keeping pace with today's complex business challenges. This is where AI-powered canvases are transforming visual collaboration.In this episode of Tech Transformed, Kevin Petrie, VP of Research at BARC, joins Elaina O'Mahoney, Chief Product Officer at Mural, to explore how AI collaboration tools are reshaping teamwork in off-site locations. From customer journey mapping to process design, AI-powered canvases give teams the ability to visualize ideas, surface insights faster, and make better decisions—while keeping human creativity at the centre.AI-Powered Canvases, Visuals, and CollaborationA central theme in the conversation is the distinction between automation and augmentation. While AI can recommend activities, map processes, and identify participation patterns, decision-making remains a human responsibility.As O'Mahoney explains:“In the Mural canvas experience, we're looking to draw out the ability of a skilled facilitator and give it to participants without them having to learn that skill over the years.”This balance ensures that while AI-powered canvases streamline collaboration, teams still rely on human judgment, creativity, and contextual knowledge. One of the most powerful contributions is in AI-driven visuals, which can translate raw data or unstructured input into clear diagrams, journey maps, or process flows. These visuals not only accelerate understanding but also help teams spot gaps and opportunities more effectively.For example:In customer journey mapping, AI can quickly generate visual flows that highlight pain points and opportunities that would take much longer to uncover manually.In manufacturing, AI-powered canvases can create dynamic visuals of workflows, showing how new technologies might disrupt established processes.The Role of Visual Tools in Hybrid WorkIn blended work environments, teams often lack the in-person cues that guide effective collaboration. Visual canvases bring those cues into the digital workspace, showing where ideas are concentrated, highlighting gaps in participation, and enabling alignment across dispersed teams. By combining intuitive design with AI-driven support, platforms like Mural help organisations adapt to the demands of hybrid work while keeping human creativity at the centre.TakeawaysAI is reshaping visual collaboration in distributed teams.Visual elements enhance understanding and decision-making.AI can augment workflows but requires human oversight.There is no universal playbook for AI integration in businesses.Hybrid work necessitates effective digital collaboration tools.AI can help visualize complex customer experiences.Human intuition and creativity remain essential in AI applications.Training and guidance are crucial for effective AI use.Collaboration tools must adapt to diverse work environments.AI should be seen as a partner in the creative process.Chapters00:00 The Evolution of Visual Collaboration05:15 Augmenting vs Automating: The Role of AI10:36...

 Nine proven strategies executives and professionals in Japan and worldwide can use to master public speaking and influence with confidence Why do business professionals need presentation guidelines? Most of us stumble into public speaking without training. We focus on doing our jobs, not plotting a public speaking career path. Yet as careers advance, presentations to colleagues, clients, or stakeholders become unavoidable. Executives at firms like Hitachi, SoftBank, or Mitsubishi know that persuasive communication directly affects career progress and credibility. Without guidelines, many professionals waste decades avoiding public speaking. The good news? It's never too late to learn. By following proven principles, anyone can become a confident communicator capable of inspiring audiences and strengthening personal brands. Mini-Summary: Public speaking is not optional in business careers. Guidelines accelerate confidence and credibility, ensuring leaders don't miss opportunities. Should you use notes during a presentation? Yes, brief notes are acceptable. Smart presenters use them as navigation aids, either on the podium or discreetly placed behind the audience. Audiences don't penalise speakers for glancing at notes—they care about clarity and delivery. The real mistake is trying to memorise everything, which creates unnecessary stress. Professionals at companies like Goldman Sachs or Deloitte often carry structured notes to ensure flow without losing authenticity. The key is to avoid reading word-for-word and instead speak naturally to main points. Mini-Summary: Notes provide direction and reduce stress. Reading word-for-word damages authenticity, but reference notes enhance confidence. Why is reading or memorising speeches ineffective? Reading entire speeches is disengaging. Audiences quickly tune out when delivery sounds like a monotone recitation. Memorising 30 minutes of text is equally flawed—it strains memory and removes spontaneity. Modern leaders need flexibility, not rigid scripts. Instead, professionals should memorise key ideas, not sentences. Political leaders and CEOs alike rely on talking points, not full manuscripts, to stay natural and adaptable. In Japan, executives trained in Dale Carnegie programs learn to communicate with presence, not performance. Mini-Summary: Reading or memorising word-for-word suffocates engagement. Focus on key points to remain natural, flexible, and credible. How can evidence strengthen your presentation? Audiences are sceptical of sweeping statements. Without proof, leaders risk credibility damage. Evidence—statistics, expert testimony, and case studies—adds authority. A claim like “our industry is growing” has little weight unless supported with 2025 market research or benchmarks from firms like PwC or Bain & Company. In Japan's cautious corporate culture, data-backed arguments are particularly vital. Numbers, trends, and customer case studies reinforce trust, especially during Q&A sessions where credibility is tested. Mini-Summary: Evidence turns opinion into authority. Leaders should support claims with facts, statistics, and expert sources to maintain credibility. Why is rehearsal so important? Practice transforms delivery. Presenting to trusted colleagues provides feedback and confidence. But avoid asking vague questions like “What do you think?” Instead, request specifics: “What was strong?” and “How can it improve?” This reframes feedback into constructive insight. At global firms, leaders often rehearse in front of teams or communication coaches before critical investor calls or town halls. Japanese executives, known for precision, benefit greatly from structured rehearsal before presenting to boards or government stakeholders. Mini-Summary: Rehearsal reduces anxiety and strengthens delivery. Ask targeted questions to turn feedback into actionable improvement. Do you always need visual aids? Not necessarily. Slides are valuable only if they add clarity. Overloaded decks weaken impact, but visuals with people, trends, or key figures make content memorable. A simple chart highlighting one data point can be more persuasive than 20 dense slides. Visuals also act as navigation, allowing presenters to recall main points naturally. At firms like Apple or Tesla, minimalist visuals emphasise storytelling over clutter—an approach business leaders worldwide can adopt. Mini-Summary: Visual aids should clarify, not confuse. Use them sparingly to highlight key ideas and support storytelling. How should professionals control nerves before speaking? Nervous energy—“butterflies”—is natural. The solution is physical and mental preparation. Deep, slow breathing lowers heart rate and calms the body. Some professionals walk briskly backstage to burn excess energy, while others use pep talks to raise intensity. Finding a personal ritual is key. Research in workplace psychology shows that controlled breathing and physical grounding improve focus. Japanese executives presenting at high-stakes shareholder meetings often use discreet breathing exercises before stepping on stage. Mini-Summary: Anxiety is natural. Breathing, movement, and mental preparation channel nerves into productive energy. Why should you never imitate other speakers? Authenticity wins. Copying others produces inauthentic delivery and limits growth. Instead, leaders should develop their own voice through practice and feedback. Life is too short to be a poor copy of someone else. Famous communicators like Steve Jobs or Sheryl Sandberg became iconic not by imitation but by honing unique, authentic styles. The same is true in Japan: executives respected for leadership presence stand out because they are genuine. Mini-Summary: Don't copy others. Develop a natural, authentic style that reflects your personality and strengths. Conclusion: How do guidelines transform your presentation career? Public speaking is not an optional skill—it defines leadership impact. By applying nine guidelines—using notes, avoiding reading, focusing on key points, backing claims with evidence, knowing more than you say, rehearsing, using visuals wisely, controlling nerves, and being authentic—professionals protect and elevate their personal brands. Key Takeaways: Notes guide, but don't read word-for-word. Memorise ideas, not sentences. Use evidence to back claims and build authority. Rehearse with feedback for confidence. Visuals should enhance, not clutter. Control nerves with breathing and energy rituals. Authenticity beats imitation every time. Leaders at all levels should take action now: seek training, rehearse deliberately, and present with authenticity. Don't waste years avoiding public speaking. The sooner you embrace it, the faster your leadership brand grows.

Paul is a graphic artist, art director, writer, speaker and general good egg who we loved having on the show.Paul has enjoyed an incredibly successful career as a creative / creative director at AMV and TBWA. His work has won over 130 awards. Since focussing on being an illustrator, Pâté has been shortlisted numerous times in the AOI World Illustration Awards, sat on the D&AD jury and regularly lectures around the country on the power of visual imagery.He is now firmly established with nearly 10 years' experience in the commercial art landscape and regularly creates images that are not only beautiful but satirical and funny.We talked broadly about the difference between being a creative and a graphic artist.We covered Paul's huge success on Museum of Childhood, a real lesson in going out and making shit happen. Paul and Mike Nicholson his partner at the time, were having a quiet period at AMV and decided to go get some business of their own. They approached the Museum of Childhood on the quiet, selling in the campaign which was art directed and drawn by Paul. They then had to approach the powers that be at AMV to approve the work. It paid off incredibly well, the campaign won every award going and sowed the illustrative seed in Paul's mind.We discussed Right Guard, Heinz Meatballs and the D&AD pencil winning John Smith's topical ad for the royal wedding. Then we covered Paul's more recent illustrative creations, which are stunningly simple and beautiful. Whether adorning the cover of a magazine, a poster for a school event or a billboard for Boots opticians, the level of craft is wonderful to see.There's also spec work which Paul does in downtime to keep the juices flowing, as shown in the billboard mock-up he did for this episode.Paul, thanks so much for coming on, it was a real pleasure.
