Strategy Sessions: The Episode With No Name
Katie Jackson is the Managing Director of TBWA\London. She’s also been described as Mary Poppins on steroids and is great fun to interview.
On publishing day, I realised I hadn’t given this episode a great / cheesy name, so it became The Episode With No Name – creative, right?
In TEWNN, we talk about
· Being Mary Poppins on steroids
· Disruption and TBWA’s approach to it
· Why ‘brand’ isn’t a fluffy term
· T shaped v I shaped marketers
· How the government has communicated it’s COVID messaging
· Why creative is essential
· Media and messaging being best mates
· Formal education v learning on the job
· Hun wines
· The power of oops (or when things go wrong)
· The power of being yourself
· A T.O.P.T.I.P for everyone
Katie was brilliant to interview and shares some fantastic insights into marketing, campaigns and brands which will resonate with everyone.
