Grace Francis | Life-changing ads, monolithic creativity & establishing boundaries

Grace Francis is the global chief creative and design officer at WongDoody, a creative experience agency with studios in the US, Europe and Asia. Previously Grace held roles at Droga5 and Grey. They guest lecture at University of the Arts London and Hyper Island.

In this episode, we explore how seeing an Evian ad about saving a local lido inspired their to start a career in advertising and having to mask their working class background to achieve success. 

We also dive into their experiences of building allyship with marginalised people in the industry, commercial creativity as a force for good and the need to draw firmer boundaries between work and home.
