    12 Creative Excellence with Studio Drama co-founders, Will Richardson and Chris Nott

    Will Richardson and Chris Nott, co-founders of Studio Drama, join us to explore what creative excellence means when you commit fully to one thing. They've built their studio around a single conviction: that custom type is one of the most powerful, and underused, elements of any brand toolkit. We cover the leap it took to niche down, their non-negotiables, what failure taught them both, and what's coming next for Studio Drama. Find out: who's the studio, and who's the drama? ----- Here's our website: https://www.itscraft.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/movewithcraft Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/movewithcraft YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@movewithcraft Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@movewithcraft

    11 Creative Excellence with Kiser Barnes, Partner and Chief Creative Officer at Red Antler

    Kiser Barnes, Partner and CCO at Red Antler, joins us to unpack creative excellence through building brands for the actual future, and the culture you need to make that possible. Red Antler is a global reference for elite branding and advertising. Kiser brings the perspective of someone who has lived across continents, worked across disciplines, and built his career on optimism as an essential creative philosophy. "Singular perspectives don't make creative work great. If you define the process through your ego and your assumptions, it's really narrow.” ----- Here's our website: https://www.itscraft.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/movewithcraft Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/movewithcraft YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@movewithcraft Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@movewithcraft

    09 Creative Excellence with Chris Moody, Executive Creative Director at Landor

    We speak with Chris Moody, Global Executive Creative Director at Landor, to explore what creative excellence looks like when you're steering an agency of 1,300 people across 30 locations. With 18 years at Wolff Olins and a stint at McKinsey behind him, Chris brings a seriously informed perspective on team, tension, and what clients actually want (and don’t want). We cover bad timing as a form of failure, why relationships beat transactions, and the role of AI in the future of creativity. "No client will make a big decision unless they believe in you as much as they believe in the work." ----- Here's our website: https://www.itscraft.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/movewithcraft Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/movewithcraft YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@movewithcraft Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@movewithcraft

    08 Creative Excellence with Kapono Chung, Partner at Combo

    Kapono Chung, Partner at Combo, joins us to explore what it takes to build a truly distinctive creative studio, and to do work that genuinely stands apart. From the founding story of his New York-based agency, to his theory of deep attention, the courage to jump into the unknown (and swim into the abyss!), and why designers are thinkers first, this is a conversation powered by conviction. Essential listening for studio leaders, creatives and anyone who is looking to build their confidence - and also their creative destiny. "If they don't feel uncomfortable by the work that they're creating, they're not there yet." ----- Here's our website: https://www.itscraft.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/movewithcraft Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/movewithcraft YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@movewithcraft Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@movewithcraft

    07 Creative Excellence with Talia Cotton, founder of Cotton

    Talia Cotton, founder of Cotton, joins us to explore creative excellence through the lens of design technology. From her time at Pentagram to founding a truly innovative studio in 2023, Talia has been leading the way, in lots of ways, for many years. Now, her studio is redefining what it means for technology, expression and joy to create something you’ve never seen before. Talia shares her five-part definition of creative excellence, her take on the real potential of technology in design, and why the joy that goes into a project matters as much as the output. This is a conversation for designers, leaders, and anyone curious about where creativity is going next. "There's something about 'I haven't seen this before, and that's why this stands out to me.’ That's what I consider to be excellent." ----- Here's our website: https://www.itscraft.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/movewithcraft Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/movewithcraft YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@movewithcraft Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@movewithcraft
