Campaign Chemistry

Independent agency Chemistry has a philosophy that’s all about “blowing shit up.”For clients, this means dissecting a problem to its core and creating something new and unexpected — whatever that might mean for a particular brand or category. President Tim Smith started the agency in 2009 with his creative partner Chris Breen. Since then it has scaled into a full-service agency with offices in Atlanta, Miami, New York and Pittsburgh — and it racked up impressive accolades, including winning silver for independent agency of the year at the Campaign US Agency of the Year Awards.In this episode, Smith talks about why he started the agency, his philosophy around independence and how Chemistry continues to “blow shit up” for clients. What we know about advertising, you should know about advertising.

Nearly two years ago, Rob Reilly joined WPP as its first chief creative officer with a remit to make it the most creative company in the world. Since then, the agency has been named the most creative company of the year at Cannes twice. How has he done it? In part by poaching top talent, such as global Ogilvy CCO Liz Taylor and global director of creative excellence Eric Monnet. Also, by meeting increasing client demands to work in a more integrated way across the network. WPP’s OpenX is a prime example, bringing together agencies such as VMLY&R and Ogilvy on behalf of a global client. But mostly, it’s been by continuing to fill the business with curious people.In this episode, Reilly chats about his role at WPP, shares his view on the role of industry award shows and debates the benefits and drawbacks of working from home for creatives. What we know about advertising, you should know about advertising.
