She’s moved from London to New York for the role and says progress and conversations with advertisers globally, have been productive. Despite a recent slowdown of the business (and across the tech sector), Mendelsohn says advertisers still believe Meta is the best place to reach consumers and build their brands.

In a world where the news is constantly bad – a raging war in Ukraine, an ongoing pandemic and children being murdered at school – leading with empathy is more important than ever. Melissa Wildermuth, global creative director at General Mills, knows this well. Instead of leading her team, which spans all of the company’s storied snack brands, with ego and expertise first, she takes a flexible approach that democratizes creativity and allows team members to come up with bold ideas. In this episode, Wildermuth sits down with Campaign US Editor Alison Weissbrot to discuss her leadership style and how it impacts creativity at General Mills and when and how brands can weigh in on societal issues.

Campaign Chemistry: Republica Havas’ Jorge Plasencia and Luis Casamayor
Jorge Plasencia and Luis Casamayor started Republica as an independent, full-service shop in Miami back in 2006. The vision was to create an agency that spoke to the new American demographic — one that at the time was already rapidly changing. Fast forward to 2022, and that foresight has led the full-service agency to work with brands from Walmart to Toyota as it adds nuance and context to its multicultural efforts while the U.S quickly becomes a minority-majority country. In this episode, Plasencia and Casamayor talk about this journey, as well as how Republica is embracing DE&I in its own organization. We also chat about how Miami is becoming a hub for tech and creative talent.Tune into this episode here now, and subscribe to Campaign Chemistry wherever you get your podcasts.
