Pat Mendelson: How Your Creative Team Really Wishes You'd Run A Meeting
15 Feb 2023
Episode 6 - All brands have creative teams responsible for delivering the go-to-market work that showcases the business to the marketplace. Many big businesses hire agencies to deliver this work and set up a process to sift through hundreds of ideas, whittling down the pile until they invest in the ones that make it to you. And all CMO's know that in addition to the marketplace, the harshest critics of this work will be their fellow employees. Mistakes cost brands and CMO's as shown recently by Balenciaga and a number of years ago when Nationwide ran a Super Bowl commercial about a boy that died from an accident. The creative team is on the receiving end of a lot of these pressures, working with limited time and multiple opinions while working with the shortest tenured level of the C-Suite, the CMO. In this episode we discuss how creatives approach the process and the client. Learn more about your ad choices.
