    How advertising will recover from Covid19

    Marc Nohr, Group CEO of Miroma agencies, Becky Holland, Founder and MD of BH & P, and Leigh Baker, Founder of We@LeighBaker join Nick Moore to discuss how advertising will recover in a post pandemic world.  While their views differ on how much will change, and how quickly, there is a sense that, far from being a disaster, this might be a moment of reinvention and opportunity.  Please note: the interviews were recorded before the death of George Floyd.

    How to sell - and buy - ideas

    Why don't digital and advertising agencies sell their products like other businesses?  Is selling beneath them?  Or are they so close to their clients that they just don't need to bother. Nick is joined by leaders from client-side and agency-side to explore how ideas are sold and bought.   And as project-based arrangements supplant traditional AOR relationships, Nick suggests that now is a good time for agencies to sharpen up their sales skills.

    Diversity is a talent issue

    In this episode, Nick explores one of the industry's hot topics - lack of diversity - in the company of Chase's Chief Brand Officer, Susan Canavari, Benita Conde of Create Radical Love, and a host of agency Creatives.  We look at how the issue manifests itself, why it happens, and we ask what can be done.  It's a deep and complex subject and unsurprisingly we do not resolve it!  But we do reach a conclusion.  In the end, the issue of diversity comes down to a simple question - do you want to have the best talent, making the best work?  If you do, you should be working to build a broad-based team.

    Have Award Shows jumped the shark?

    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!

    Have Ideas Changed?

    This is the first episode of The Idea.  In it, we explore what an idea is and we ask whether technology is changing our understanding of ideas.  We hear about the range of ideas from traditional advertising to new conversational UI platforms such as Siri and Alexa.  We hear the views of a range of smart people including Steve Harrison, one-time Global CCO of Wunderman and founder of HTW, Patrick Collister, Executive Creative Director of The Zoo at Google, Lori Hamilton of Prosperity Productions, Bob Lukasik of IBM Interactive Experiences and Steve Mykolyn, the former CCO of Taxi. And Nick tells a funny story.
