Episodes

Derek Walker, Sally Morrow, and David Morrow

November 8, 2019 • 71 mins
Hello self-awareness: How can an industry built on newer/fresher/bolder still be so blind to biases of diversity, equality, and inclusion within its own walls? What keeps agencies from reflecting the society they’re in business to connect with in the first place? Derek Walker of brown and browner, together with Sally and David Morrow of Sally Morrow Creative, hold up the mirror in this candid conversation. These personal perspecti...

Anne Elisco-Lemme / Have a Nice Idea

May 10, 2017 • 76 mins
She might need to update her resume: When Anne Elisco-Lemme first joined agency Duncan Channon as an Art Director (employee #7!), she probably didn't see her experience one day becoming creative boss of the whole show. In an industry famous for people who [cough] ooze entitlement, precious few throw down and earn a role like ECD (and the respect of her agency, clients and peers) like Anne has. Anne joined us for a live recording...

Bill Borders / Have a Nice Idea

July 6, 2016 • 69 mins
You probably owe this man a drink. Bill Borders and early creative opportunists like him literally defined the golden age of creative advertising. When ads moved from something that filled media space to something worth people's time. Rewarding attention with a thought, a twist, a chuckle. And lo and behold, it paid off for clients, too. So thanks to their work, we're free to care and obsess and sweat over the details and craft l...

May 26, 2016 • 71 mins
Glenn Cole, chief creative officer, founder, and ball of light & energy at 72andSunny sat down with us over a couple beers recently as part of Design Week Portland 2016.

Tracy Wong / Have a Nice Idea

February 20, 2016 • 58 mins
Who wants to be "Art Director No. 729"? Sure, everybody wants to work on the hot accounts, but as the principal and founder of WONGDOODY puts it, "It's a lot easier to make a name for yourself where nothing good has been done before." Exactly how Tracy Wong made a name for himself early on, owning reams of CA Annuals, One Shows and countless awards ever since. These days, he may be even better known for the radical idea of taking ...

Danielle Trivisonno Hawley / Have a Nice Idea

January 15, 2016 • 52 mins
Danielle is Chief Creative Officer, Americas at POSSIBLE. A fitting agency name for someone who’s never settled for "what is" when "what could be" was out there to be made. And who better to make it, than her. We talk circle-of-creative-life (girl inspired by “If you let me play,” campaign in 1995, meets female writer of said campaign at 3% Conference, becomes Facebook friends with said woman!), the joy of creating national campai...

JD Hooge / Have a Nice Idea

May 8, 2015 • 43 mins
Before digital design had any kind of best practices, there were those passionate few who could see what wasn’t working, ignored what “you’re supposed to do” and just fixed it. Elegantly. With soul. And maybe a little magic. Meet JD Hooge, of Instrument. He doesn't pursue awards, doesn't need the spotlight. But together, he and those around him have set the standard for what “best” can look like in digital design. Never the same. ...

Jelly Helm / Have a Nice Idea

March 24, 2015 • 42 mins
Jelly’s experience inside some of the most renowned agencies of the past 30 years is something everyone can learn from. He’s part creative director, part creative educator. And in the end, the world’s a better place because he’s both. He’s convinced about 3 people will want to hear his stories. (We think it's at least double that. Proof he’s not always right.) So much good stuff in here about "Advertising: the early years," and ho...

Joe Staples / Have a Nice Idea

March 13, 2015 • 50 mins
Dad, runner, cyclist, and executive creative director at one of the world’s premier ad agencies. Just don’t call him “Adman” or he could easily choke you out. (Seriously.) Advertising, meet jiu-jitsu, meet Joe Staples. Joe’s made a remarkable career in advertising. Here, he shares insights about himself and the pursuit of not sucking that anyone who values real creativity, powerfully and artfully applied, needs to hear. We caught...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
