Campaign Chemistry: Vivid Seats CMO Tyra Neal
Live and in person are back — and Vivid Seats is ready to connect fans with their bucket list events. The ticket resale exchange competes in a crowded field by offering a rewards program for fans who purchase tickets to events on the platform. The loyalty network is the result of work overseen by CMO Tyra Neal, who joined the company in 2021 to build out its marketing function. The team was solid when it came to performance marketing, but has since expanded to new areas such as brand, creative and influencer. In this episode of Campaign Chemistry, Neal talks about how the return to live events has impacted Vivid Seats’ business. She also discusses the recent Ticketmaster saga regarding Taylor Swift’s upcoming tour and talks about her previous role at DTC watch brand Shinola.

Finding a better way to grow in a downturn, in partnership with Wavemaker
The Wavemaker team presented research into how and where US consumers are feeling the pinch, which categories are most affected and what they want to see from brands. Then followed by a panel discussion, chaired by Jess Heygate, Technology Editor at Campaign US. In times of uncertainty, it’s common for brands to slash marketing budgets to save the bottom line. In pressured environments, many default to short term-thinking — deprioritizing sustainability initiatives or neglecting diverse audiences from their communications. But brands that do so, do so at their peril. Previous recessions have taught us that marketing rewards those who maintain their spend, and that those who stand by their values, support vulnerable communities and invest in meaningful societal and environmental change are rewarded with exceptional growth. At Wavemaker, we believe there’s a better way to grow, that’s why in partnership with Campaign, we’re hosting an exclusive podcast for brands looking to come out of the cost of living crisis stronger than ever.

Campaign Chemistry: Code & Theory’s Dan Gardner and Michael Treff
When Code & Theory launched in 2001, digital had a much different meaning. But fast-forward to today, and the world continues to adapt to new technologies that have massive implications for communications and business. Code & Theory is at the forefront, from helping advertisers launch their e-commerce businesses to guiding them through the promises and practicalities of Web3. The digital creative agency, which counts one third of its staff as engineers, is also a leader in inclusive design and storytelling. Code & Theory was behind the rebranding of the Washington Commanders, a name developed based on feedback and input from underrepresented members of the fanbase. In this episode, cofounder and executive chairman Dan Gardner and president/CEO Michael Treff talk about how Code & Theory positions itself in a changing digital landscape — and what the advertising industry is still getting wrong when it comes to digital.

Campaign Chemistry: IPG Health CEO Dana Maiman
IPG consolidated its health agencies under the IPG Health banner in July 2021, putting longtime FCB Health CEO Dana Maiman at the helm, where she oversees 45 agencies and 6,000 people. Leadership changes are still underway, but the consolidation allows for more holistic focus on client needs and creates more opportunities to invest across a single P&L, she says. Maiman, who has focused on health equity throughout her career, discusses how work such as the Trial for Clinical Equality and Blood Equality, which focus on diversifying clinical trials and allowing gay men to donate blood, respectively, have attracted more diverse talent to IPG Health’s agencies. In this episode, Maiman also chats about how health and wellness brands are shaking up their media and creative strategies as they invest more heavily in digital, as well as how the healthcare sector might be impacted by economic headwinds.

Campaign Chemistry: Morgan Stanley CMO Alice Milligan
When you think of Morgan Stanley, diversity and accessibility might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But Alice Milligan, who joined as CMO in May 2021, is on a mission to change that. Milligan joined Morgan Stanley through its acquisition of E-Trade in 2020. Since then, the firm has expanded its portfolio of products and services to cater to a wider range of individuals beyond the uber-wealthy — and Milligan has been working to make that message clear to a broad range of people. In this episode of Campaign Chemistry, Milligan chats about recent campaigns that position the firm at the forefront of DE&I in the sector, including one starring Canadian tennis star Leylah Fernandez and a collaboration with Rebecca Minkoff to redesign a male Wall Street status symbol.Listen to this episode and subscribe to Campaign Chemistry wherever you get your podcasts.

The Power of Humor in Business, presented by Peppercomm
Steve discusses the power of humor in business, and how the tenets of humor change perspectives on leadership styles and open participants’ minds to creative ways of thinking and engaging. Research shows that training rooted in humor principles improves engagement, enhances creative problem-solving, and deepens communication and collaboration with coworkers. Humor releases important hormones like dopamine, creating new neural pathways and freeing the brain up to see new possibilities. Humor can markedly enhance productivity and collegiality in post-merger integrations, serve as a catalyst for an employee base to not only accept, but embrace, change and play a starring role in attracting and retaining the best and the brightest employees. Listeners will learn skills for building and strengthening rapport and improving leadership skills. Participants won’t be transformed into stand-up comedians, but rather experience an introduction to leadership based on the principles of humor.Peppercomm

Campaign Chemistry: SmileDirectClub CMO John Sheldon
When Apple released the iOS 14.5 update that limited tracking visibility on its devices, direct-to-consumer brands had to pivot. John Sheldon, chief marketing officer of oral health brand SmileDirectClub, shifted his organization’s focus by embracing less granular metrics, such as engagement, and putting more budget into brand-building channels. Today, SmileDirectClub, which launched in 2014 as a DTC teeth alignment product, has expanded its product line and physical footprint, both at its own retail locations and in Walmart stores across the country. According to Sheldon, the moment to move from disruptor brand to challenger brand has arrived. In this episode, Sheldon also chats about how he operates his social media team like a newsroom and how SmileDirectClub lives up to its brand purpose.
