In the 80s, we had superstar athletes, the 90s brought us supermodels, and actors and celebrities dominated the 2000s. But in this day and age, there’s a new breed of trailblazers - Creators.
Joining us today on the podcast is the ingenious Benjamin Smith, Executive Creative Director of The Mayda Creative Co. With a track record of producing wildly successful marketing campaigns for bigwigs like Google, the NFL, and Radiohead, Ben is a creative mastermind like no other.
Together, we're delving into the world of creative strategy and production; and uncovering the secret sauce behind a killer campaign. We’ll also explore how culture has influenced casting and storytelling, how to connect with Gen Z in a meaningful and authentic way, and why perfection can spell paralysis.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
