    Ross Yenerich's Exit Interview, WPP vs Publicis for Coca-Cola's $4B Global Review, Subservient Ghostface's 8.9M Visits with Loop's Nick Gallo & A Secret Campaign Reveal

    Presented by Rothmans — 100 years of taking New Yorkers as they are and dressing them better. Coca-Cola just launched a global review of its media, data science, and technology business with WPP and Publicis going head to head for it. WPP has held the global account since 2021 through Open X across more than 200 countries. Publicis already took North America last year for an estimated $700 million. Now the rest of the global account is in play, starting July, with a decision expected by fall. Creative stays with WPP Open X. This is strictly media, data, and technology, and it sits at the center of two very different bets on what data-driven marketing looks like: Publicis' ID-based, LiveRamp-powered approach versus WPP's federated model. One of the biggest pitches of the year. In the WORLD FAMOUS TWO MINUTE DRILL:– Arnold wins Discount Tire's creative account, declaring the tire category should finally be funny– OpenAI dropped a Codex spot with Alto that is worth watching– Apple dropped a new privacy ad called "Clingers"– The Ordinary's free branded bus strategy in New York has been suspended– The Knicks gave out free T-shirts and it became a whole situation At 11:25 we sit down with Ross Yenerich, Breaking and Entering's second full-time hire and content editor. Ross is leaving to become a creative in advertising. His next role is intern at BBH. We respect the move and apparently so did 600-plus other people based on the response to the announcement post. Then Nick Gallo, Founder and CEO of Loop, joins at 11:40. His team built Subservient Ghostface for the Scary Movie 6 launch, a site where users could prompt Ghostface to perform actions in real time, recorded with a real human actor across more than 100 actions with zero AI. 8.9 million website visits. 58.75 million social impressions. 188,000 shares and climbing. At 11:55 we have something big. We cannot tell you what it is. You will want to be watching. And to close, Mo Said, Founder of Mojo Supermarket, and Brad Filice, Mojo's new Head of Strategy, join us. It took Mo nine months and roughly 100 interviews to make this hire. Brad comes from Droga5, which is also where Mo worked before launching Mojo. We have a lot of questions.

    GS&P's Next Gen, McDonald's World Cup Ad, Edelman's First-Ever Creator Chief & OnePay's New CMO

    Presented by Rothmans — 100 years of taking New Yorkers as they are and dressing them better.The next generation of advertising is here. GS&P's The Academy, the year-long free creative training program run by Zach Canfield and Dan Balser inside Goodby Silverstein and Partners, just graduated a new class. They are joining us on the show today. The Academy is GS&P's attempt to fix the industry's broken talent pipeline, taking aspiring copywriters and art directors through a full year of real-world training in San Francisco. We are showing their work and talking about what it actually takes to break in right now.In the WORLD FAMOUS TWO MINUTE DRILL:– WhatsApp announced "Bukayo Saka: The Time Is Now," a documentary coming to Disney+ in June featuring Saka and Thierry Henry after Arsenal's first Premier League title since 2004– McDonald's dropped its World Cup campaign from W+K New York with Beckham, Ronaldinho, Thierry Henry, Yamal, and Pulisic all acting like regular McDonald's fans, directed by Stacy Wall, with collectible cups– Havas is launching a record label to reshape brand music partnerships– The 2026 Gerber Baby has been announced– Ulta Beauty posted Q1 growth across every major channel and VaynerMedia just won the creative account– Coca-Cola completed its World Cup trilogyAt 11:25 we are running The Breakdown, presented by Rothmans. KFC Sweden and Uncommon Stockholm dropped "Bucket For One," a campaign to launch a new solo bucket for people who don't want to share. The tagline is "Protect Your Bucket For One, By Any Means Necessary." The imagery is high-res close-ups of tongues, fingers, breath, and moustache hairs uncomfortably close to the chicken. It is almost pleasurably disgusting and completely brilliant.Then Jessica Williams, the new CMO of OnePay, joins at 11:40. She just left Shopify, where she was Head of Brand Marketing and Partnerships, running campaigns with MrBeast, Alix Earle, Cardi B, Tom Holland, and Emma Grede. Before that she led consumer marketing at Coinbase and brand work at Visa. This is her first CMO role and she joins us to talk about why she left one of the most exciting brand jobs in tech to go build a financial services brand for Americans the current system has left behind.And to close, Kenny Gold, Edelman's first-ever Global Chief Creator Officer, joins the show. It is a newly created title that went live June 1. He comes from Deloitte Digital, where he built their social and creator practice from scratch, and before that led social at Grey Group including helping P&G's DistanceDance with Charli D'Amelio become one of the most viewed TikTok campaigns of the pandemic. With 200 creator specialists globally, Edelman is betting that creator is no longer an emerging channel. It is the channel.

    Steph Curry to Li-Ning, Coors Light's Infrared Summer Ad & Nike x McDonald's x Devin Booker

    Presented by Rothmans — 100 years of taking New Yorkers as they are and dressing them better.Coors Light just dropped one of the more visually arresting summer campaigns in recent memory. The brand shot a new ad entirely through an infrared camera — showing the heat signatures of people baking in the summer sun, and the thermal contrast of cracking open an ice-cold Coors Light. No voiceover needed. The Blue Mountains turn cold and you can see it. It is product truth done through a completely different lens and it is very good.In the WORLD FAMOUS TWO MINUTE DRILL: Javier Campopiano left Omnicom two weeks ago and is already the new Global CCO for Leo Constellation Americas and Iberia at Publicis. His co-CEO Marco Venturelli had been texting him "come home" for years. He finally replied "pronto."LEGO named Jason Momoa as their Playmaker for World Play Day on June 11 — a "Never Stop Playing" campaign from their in-house team with Chaos x Magic, built entirely through a comedy lens. 44% of families globally are not hitting the five weekly hours of play that research says improves wellbeing.Steph Curry just ended his sneaker free agency by signing a 10-year deal with Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning — the biggest sneaker free agent in basketball history didn't go to Nike, didn't go to Adidas, and said he was sold after testing Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade's shoes.And Serena Williams returns to tennis in a new Nike ad.Then Amanda Mulligan, Director of Social Media and Creators at McDonald's, and Paddy Treacy, Creative Director at Wieden+Kennedy New York, join us to break down the Nike Book 2 McDonald's sneaker — a limited edition collab inspired by the iconic turquoise-arched McDonald's in Sedona, Arizona that became a desert scavenger hunt. Booker's team called W+K knowing they work with both Nike and McDonald's. That is how this started.Then Doug Sweeney, CMO of Oura Ring, joins us on the launch of the Oura Ring 5 — the brand's smallest and slimmest ring yet, made with agency partner Nice&Frank. Three campaign spots built around the quiet power of a single finger. We talk differentiation, the wearables market, and where Oura goes next.And to close: Melissa Rosenthal, Co-Founder of Outlever. Former VP of Creative at BuzzFeed, CRO at Cheddar, CCO at ClickUp. Now helping brands build their own media engines and own their audiences instead of renting attention. We talk about why owned media is having a moment and what brands are getting wrong about content.More from Breaking and Entering Media:💼 Follow on LinkedIn⁠   / ⁠  📖 Read our Publications⁠ https://www.breaking-entering.com/blog⁠💬 Join our Unlocked GroupMe⁠ https://groupme.com/join_group/102437...✉️ Subscribe to The Vault⁠ https://breakingandenteringadv.substa...📹 Subscribe to our :60 Advertising News Videos⁠ https://breakingandentering.beehiiv.c...🏆 Check out the Crowbar Awards to break into advertising⁠ https://www.crowbarawards.com/⁠🤝 Work With Us - Email: ⁠breakingandentering@smoothmedia.co⁠

Three new categories debuted this year: Sport Entertainment, Cultural Influence, and Brand Transformation.

    Publicis Acquires LiveRamp for $2.2B, YETI x Wieden+Kennedy, Javier Campopiano Exits McCann, Gerry Graf at Joan & Gen Z Digital Wellness with Larz May of HalfTheStory

    Spotify turned 20 this week and celebrated by swapping its iconic green app icon for a glittery 3D disco ball — and the internet immediately lost its mind. Users called it hideous, pixelated, and confusing. Some said they thought the app was stuck downloading an update. Spotify's response on X: "We know glitter is not for everyone. Our temp glow up ends soon." The icon is already being reversed in beta. But here's the real question: was this the most efficient marketing campaign ever — a 300% spike in brand mentions, the whole industry talking, zero media spend — or a genuine brand fumble? We're debating it today. In the WORLD FAMOUS TWO MINUTE DRILL: Publicis is acquiring LiveRamp for $2.2 billion in an all-cash deal — giving them ownership of the data collaboration infrastructure that most of their competitors rely on. LiveRamp's RampID is the most common shared currency in programmatic advertising. Publicis CEO Arthur Sadoun says this is about winning the agentic transformation market. Every other holdco is now doing math on what this means for them. YETI and Wieden+Kennedy dropped a new four-letter campaign — go watch it. Javier Campopiano, who led McCann's global creative, is exiting months after the Omnicom-IPG merger closed. McDonald's France launched an office delivery campaign that is very good. And DoorDash just brought on a former Amazon exec as its new CMO. First up: Gerry Graf. Business Insider once called him the most creative man in advertising. Ad Age named him the most awarded creative director in the world in 2008. He created the first-ever "You're Not You When You're Hungry" Snickers spot, Starburst's Freaky Little Lad, and Skittles Midas Touch. He founded Barton F. Graf and Slap Global. This week he was named Global CCO of Joan Creative. We talk about the new role, what brought him here, and what he's building. Then Nick Kaplan, Founder and CCO of Another Thing, joins us to talk about Vermont Creamery's butter sculpture campaign — one of the more unexpected and delightful brand moments of the week. Chapin Clark, ECD at R/GA, joins the show Chapin has been the voice behind R/GA's Twitter since 2009 — one of the most celebrated agency accounts ever run His secret: "Trying to please everybody is more dangerous You end up being really bland and nobody likes you" We get into the work and what 25 years at one agency actually looks like And to close: Larz May — Gen Z mental health advocate, Founder of HalfTheStory, one of the first youth-led nonprofits focused on digital wellness, and Co-Founder of Ginko, an AI platform helping families navigate tech and screen time. She has spoken at the United Nations, SXSW, and TED. We talk about how algorithms are shaping the next generation and what brands and platforms actually owe young people.
