    ÉPISODE 4

    The Computer Says No: Lou Nylander On How Algorithmic Bias Is Feeding Discrimination And Inequality

    Algorithms play a significant role in our everyday lives. From the searches you perform on Google, the content you see in your Facebook feed or the GPS navigation in your car, their influence on our day-to-day is everywhere. Only problem is, most of the time we’re oblivious to how much sway they have and the data they use to make these decisions.  Plus by influencing future decisions based on past data, they are prone to repeating our mistakes. The implications of this range from the perpetuation of fake news to minorities unfairly receiving longer prison sentences. So can anything be done to curb this bad influence in our lives? This week on The Good, The Bad & The Advertising, hosts Amy and Dino are joined by special guest Lou Nylander.  Lou is a digital marketing guru with over 15 years of experience. She's also a trusted advisor to the Good-Loop team and a FIERCE advocate for supporting women in business. Together, they discuss the impact of algorithms on our everyday lives and whether accountability from creators could lead to better transparency and less discrimination. And again, our three hosts will chat about how advertising can help solve these issues or, indeed, hinder them.

  2. Mindshare’s Rosie Laurence On Fixing Adland’s Age-Old Sexism Problem

    ÉPISODE 7

    Mindshare’s Rosie Laurence On Fixing Adland’s Age-Old Sexism Problem

    There has been a recent crackdown on the use of gender stereotypes in advertising, with associations like the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) leading the charge.  But fixing such an age-old issue that stretches way beyond the boundaries of Adland is not something that can be solved overnight. Gender stereotypes in advertising are as old as consumerism itself.  Put succinctly in "The Mitchell and Webb Look": Women: You're leaking, ageing, hairy, overweight and everything hurts. And your children's clothes are filthy. No wonder men long for other, less clammy women. For god's sake sort yourselves out.  Men: Shave and get drunk. Because you’re already brilliant. The ad industry was founded by powerful men and that's meant women are often cast in secondary positions. But could advertising be the answer to an issue it's created itself?  In this week’s episode of The Good, The Bad, & The Advertising, Amy and Dino are joined by Rosie Laurence, Chief Strategy Officer LATAM at Mindshare, dialling in from Mexico.  They look at how the industry can bring more realistic images of women into advertising, break stereotypes, and push equality to be the norm.

  3. Saving the planet from a meaty disaster with Emma Cookson, Partner at The Brandtech Group

    ÉPISODE 11

    Saving the planet from a meaty disaster with Emma Cookson, Partner at The Brandtech Group

    As COP26 comes to a close we're all thinking about our next steps and how we can take learnings from the past two weeks into the future to slow the rising global temperatures and stick to the target of 1.5C. The industrial meat industry is the single biggest cause of deforestation globally. As of 2021, due to land clearing forest fires, the Amazon rainforest now emits more carbon emissions than it is able to absorb. One cow can release enough gas to produce an astounding 200 kilograms of methane every year, which means that emissions from cows and fertilizer use emit as much greenhouse gas as the world's entire fleet of cars, trucks, and aeroplanes. But the good news is - this is definitely a problem the advertising industry can help address as we think about reshaping demand and changing culture. This week, Amy and Dino are joined by Emma Cookson to chew over the impact of meat-based diets on the climate crisis and how going meatless could help save the planet. Emma is a straight-talking brilliant brand strategist who rose through the ranks of Adland from global head of strategic planning to CEO, and then chairman of BBH New York. Emma is hands down one of the most influential people in advertising and today, she's a partner at the Brandtech group, You & Mr Jones investing in and collaborating with the most innovative companies in our industry. So if anyone can figure out the answer to this brief - it's Emma. Do you think you could take on a meat-free diet for the sake of the planet? Let us know!
