    Seneca Outsiders Get In with Dunc Urquhart

    Dunc Urquhart has billed themself as "the ultimate diversity hire," and for good reason. They have a Metis and Caribbean background, was raised in a Muslim and Christian household, studied English Lit (w/ a minor in cultural studies) and started a Masters of Divinity at UofT before graduating from Seneca's ad program. Dunc is an outsider wherever they go and that has made them a master at talking and relating to different kinds of people, all while keeping an open mind and chameleon-like adaptability. Find out how they have turned these skills to their advantage as they moves through the advertising industry in our third episode of the series, Outsiders Get In. You can learn more about Dunc and how they seamlessly switch between codes and cultures here. You can also listen to Dunc's own podcast, Cast Without Trace, where they covers another passion of theirs: Dungeons and Dragons as both a game and as a collaborative storytelling method.

    How to Build a Culture of Effectiveness with Ian Westworth

    There is rarely a week that goes by where I don't see an article or report or study on effectiveness. And for obvious reasons. Advertising is "commercial art" and so obviously should be expected to deliver. And while there is much more data to show that this commercial art is doing something, understanding what it is doing and the resulting implications is something that the entire agency needs to embrace, not just the strategy dept. So this week we're chatting with Ian Westworth, SVP Head of Planning and Effectiveness at Grey who will share his top tips on how he has managed to build a more results oriented culture through partnership with his Creative, Account and Client colleagues.

    How to use reading to power your planning with Jeff George

    "Reading fuels a sense of curiosity about the world, which I think helped drive me forward in my career and in the work that I do now with my foundation." Bill Gates is many things: visionary computer programmer, co-founder of Microsoft,  American billionaire, philanthropist....and also a prolific reader. Gates, who has been known to read 50 books a year, credits some of his biggest ideas to reading. When it comes to reading, there are many books that we as planners are told to read but there are few planners I've seen actually apply what they've read to their work. And that's the magic of Jeff George, who is the Founder and Freelance Strategy Director at The Courage Lab and also, of course, a prolific reader. Listen to this week's GrowOp to find out how you too can use reading to power your planning.

    Canada VS with Ron Smrczek and Christopher Andrews

    Shortly after I joined TAXI, I remember being asked to fly to Amsterdam to work on the launch of Axe Hair in Europe. I couldn't believe my luck! While there, I worked alongside Ron Smrczek and Chris Andrews who were heading up the TAXI Amsterdam office at the time. Since then, Ron and Chris led had a storied career venturing throughout Europe and the US. And they are currently the Independent Creative Director & Principal at Those Who Wander and President & CEO at BBDO Canada, respectively. Given their varied background, I thought they'd be the perfect pair to answer this question: How is strategic planning in Canada different from the rest of the world and what is the unique contribution that a Canadian style of strategic planning can offer the industry. Listen in to find out what they had to say.
