Henry Gomez and I delight in the return of our friend. He's our holiday present to all of you. Consider this our joint thank you for your support over the last year. And the previous three years as well. George joins us on Episode #199.

    198: Alex Morris on the tension between strategy and creative

    Our guest, Alex Morris, is a freelance strategy consultant who authored a study Creatives on Strategy: Looking Outside Ourselves to Define What Strategy Offers. It is a survey of creatives' thoughts about strategy. And it's the topic of our discussion today. Alex is a strategist of high regard, as evidenced by the comments from his colleagues. “Alex Morris is every creative’s dream strategist," noted Heather McTavish, ECD of Virtue. "All in. No b******t. Smart as all get out. Kinder than anyone you know. Extremely collaborative and on the money.” So it is refreshing that what he uncovered in this survey pulls no punches. And offers all of us, creatives and strategists alike, a keen window into our working relationship. And makes for excellent conversation. Henry Gomez and I share with you excerpts from the survey. And we talk at length about the natural tension between the two camps who are, after all, on the same side.

    197: Ed Tsue—the brief is dead!

    Ed Tsue, Global CSO at Media Futures Group, a respected and admired strategist in our industry, tells us that the Creative Brief is Dead. Today on The Brief Bros., he defends and expands on his position, first posited in his Medium newsletter a year ago. And thanks to last week's guest Ed Cotton, who reposted Ed Tsue's musings on his blog, Provoke, we found it. And then decided to bring Ed Tsue on to talk about it. It's a lively but never heated discussion, with more than a little push-back from both sides. And I think it's safe to say, both Ed and I learned a few things from each other. Sadly, my buddy Henry Gomez was traveling for work and couldn't join us.

    196: Ed Cotton's creative brief provocations

    When he launched his Substack blog Provoke six months ago, strategist Ed Cotton had a clear goal. He decided to post excerpts from and links to his favorite LinkedIn articles. But he didn't stop there. When a topic struck his fancy, he looked beyond LinkedIn and created a curio box of goodies. Most are strategy related. But his interests reflect the curiosity of a good strategist. Attention, demographics, insights, AI, writing. And then there's the Arctic and food. He even posted on spies and spying. And of course the creative brief. For brief nerds like Henry Gomez and me, this particular post was catnip. And its links to the writing of others with similar interests piqued our interest. We've reached out to some of them. A few will be guests in the coming weeks and months. Today, we probe the curious mind of Ed Cotton, a British transplant with tenure at McCann-Erickson and Lowe. And on major brands like Converse, MINI and Priceline. Reminder: For a 90-minute live webinar on writing the single-minded proposition contact Howard Ibach at creativebriefworkshops.com.

    195: Writer Derek Walker—shunned by agencies, embraced by brands

    It's a too-familiar story. Derek Walker, copywriter and agency founder, came to advertising via journalism. When he graduated, he couldn't find work in ad agencies. Instead, he cut his teeth in corporate America. Radio Shack, for one, where as in-house ACD, he worked on the Howie & Teri television spots. As he tells it, his grounding on the client side helped him immeasurably. And gave him a career boost when he eventually got hired by agencies. Including stints at Cramer-Krasselt in Milwaukee and Chiat\Day. Derek's story is inspiration for aspiring copywriters and art directors. If you want a deep knowledge of brands, he tells us, you could hardly do better than to start your career working for a brand.

    193: Christopher Owens, Part 1

    Our guest this week is the man who put us in touch with the author of the famous Kiwi shoe polish creative brief. Christopher Owens, head of brand strategy at TRG, formerly The Richards Group, hired Sarah Walker-Hall. He reached out to us years ago and asked if we wanted to meet this strategist. And that led to a two-part interview on The Brief Bros. Today, Christopher joins us for a two-part interview of his own. He talks about his origins, from his early interests in jazz and architecture to his fledgling beginnings in a small Dallas agency, Gleason/Calise. His leadership at TRG spans two decades, and include Effie-awarding-winning work on GameStop, Patron and Sub-Zero. (He generously donated three creative briefs for these brands to the Creative Brief Archive.) This is a deep dive conversation about strategy and his commitment to training new generations of strategists. For many years, Christopher has been the Miami Ad School's Program Lead of Strategy Bootcamp. Part 2 airs next week.
