BBDO’s Chris Beresford-Hill spills the beans on ‘Do Big Things’ on Black T-Shirts podcast
Imagine you’re the Global Chief Creative Officer of one of the world’s most famous advertising agencies and you’re sitting on a business that needs reinvention. How do you apply your creative skills to your own agency?
Welcome to the latest edition of Black T-Shirts, featuring Chris Beresford-Hill, Global CCO of BBDO, and architect of BBDO’s new brand positioning ‘Do Big Things’.
In this episode you’ll hear why only 20% of the idea is about the idea. The rest, hustle? The episode also goes deep into agency models and why BBDO changed from their iconic matra of ‘The Work. The Work. The Work.’, to ‘Do Big Things’.
Co-host Adam Ferrier said of the episode “It’s wonderful to hear an agency leader of such an iconic agency such as BBDO create such a clear and compelling view of what an agency such as BBDO could be. As an industry we need to get better at applying our creative talents on our own businesses and industry, here’s a nice example of it.”
Chris unpacks the value of creativity, how to set a creative vision, and have it flow through an organisation. After listening to this episode you’ll want to go out and ‘Do Big Things’.
PS you’ll also find out that Harrison Ford was almost going to be a skinfluencer complete with ringlight for CeraVe, before Michael Cera eventually got the call up.
