Where the Murder Hornet Came From
In this episode, we sit down with Noel Cottrell, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Murder Hornet, a creatively led agency that swarms around big ideas with a flexible, collective model. Noel takes us through his journey of breaking into advertising - again and again - from working at Saatchi & Saatchi London to launching agencies in South Africa and the U.S. Today, his agency partners with brands like New York Life, Lipton, Zoom, and Bumble, all while redefining what it means to brand and build an agency. If you're a copywriter, creative, or aspiring founder, Noel’s stories and advice on persistence, reinvention, and building a strong portfolio are can’t-miss.
