A few weeks ago Neil was kind enough to invite me on his excellent podcast series, Google Firestarters.
We talked about moving from planning to client & agency leadership, and about why agencies are often bad at getting our work moved & approved through large organizations.
Delighted to say that the latest episode of Google Firestarters is now LIVE. This one featuring the brilliant Jason Oke, Global Client President at Dentsu talking about selling standout ideas to clients youtu.be/d4I2SXCcCAk?si=5Vkv…
This is really quite good on the aesthetic blandness and relentless homogenization of FIFA.
The 20-year plateau of the FIFA World Cup™ aesthetic (or: why World Cups all now look the same)
A piece for @TheAthleticFC on how the World Cup's post-millennium pursuit of presentational "perfection" means FIFA has, basically, merked itself.

This year’s @adage Leading Women was a wonderful, inspiring, joyful event. Such a badass group of women. And thrilled that one of my favorite clients and humans @txgardener is one of them. 👊🙌👏🥂
Love @cindygallop launching a lipstick. Like a boss. Going to buy some for my daughter.
She’s killing it (as usual) at @3PercentConf 🔥🔥🔥
Always lovely to catch up with @Ad_Recruiter
If you don't already know Christie, get over and follow her ASAP. She's the real deal, and she'll kick your ass and change your life.
Godspeed Murray. I'm so grateful that you shared your journey with us - we were all so lucky to be able to draft in your wake over the last six months. I can only hope that some small portion of your grace, wit, dignity, and acceptance rubbed off on us all. xx 🥃
Sad to hear that Murray Calder aka @ScotStratGuy has lost his battle with cancer. Strategy can be an introspective line of work: Murray's big, generous character made strategy Twitter more of a community.

If you know Murray @ScotStratGuy, you know he’s shared his journey with cancer with incredible openness & honesty. I doubt I could handle everything he’s going through with such grace and humour and dignity. And we’re all the richer for it.

Tide was a big win in our house. Solid insight, great execution, A+ music, and just the right degree of weirdness. #plannerbowl
I think the key to It not leading to burnout has to be that it's not only framed as working from different places. "Flexibility" means more than just where someone sits: it's equally important that people are more open/flexible to different working styles, needs, and timing. 1/2
Will workplace flexibility lead to the same unintended outcome (burnout) as unlimited PTO (which no one ever uses)? Thinking about flexibility needing to go hand in hand with burnout prevention for as long as people are both care giving and working, in particular.
