Huge news. Thrilled to announce the arrival of Fred Paginton to Spring Studios London as our new Executive Creative Director. Fred is responsible for some of the most well-known work for luxury brands in recent years, including the Gucci loafer campaign featuring actor Paul Mescal, Moncler’s Spring/Summer 2024 campaign entitled 'An Invitation to Dream’, and the exhibition takeover of Milan's central station during design week featuring a cast of global visionaries such as Deepak Chopra, Isamaya Ffrench, Jeremy O. Harris and Daniel Arsham. Fred joins Spring from Dazed, where he was instrumental in evolving the iconic publishing brand’s commercial output, transforming Dazed Studio from a producer of branded content into a full service creative and advertising services model. During his tenure with Dazed, Paginton was awarded three British Arrows awards and a Ciclope for his work with Nike, as well as a Lovie award for the studio’s H&M Move global campaign. In his new role, Fred will work closely with Anouk Jans, ECD of Spring Milan, as they evolve Spring’s creative offering for a new generation. First stop – tonight's private view of ODE. https://lnkd.in/eYg_RVcW

I am by no means a creative (though I wish I was ) but this past week, M&C Saatchi Group tasked us to create an advertisement that's both creative and aligned with the philosophy of Brutal Simplicity of Thought. The goal: to create something simple yet memorable, avoiding over-complication. As Maurice Saatchi once said, "simple ideas enter the brain quicker and stay there longer." 🧠 Our task was to develop an ad for Stocked, a company that offers Revolutionary Meals for Modern Lives. What do you think? Is the ad brutally simple? #OpenHouse2024 #LearnWithMCSaatchi #ProfessionalGrowth

Day 61 - My second campaign at Dentsu Creative (#McGarryBowen) for Verizon was a #sponsorship of Univision hit show Sabado Gigante. This campaign was one where I would learn a valuable lesson about managing staff and client expectations simultaneously as well as the power of simplicity. We spent weeks working on the creative for the campaign which had a #redcarpet theme that was meant to leverage the brand association between #Verizon and the color red as well as the association between #SabadoGigante and stars of film, television or music who are often guests on the program. The designer who I unfortunately cannot find on LinkedIn despite a thorough search, put together over a dozen options for the client. She was new to the #agency world and was working as a #freelance #designer. She was very proud of her work and was excited to present to the client. I reviewed her designs prior to the meeting and they were all very intricate. Some of them were beautifully drawn and others were cleverly animated. However I noticed there was nothing with a plain red background, neither the still or #animated versions. So I asked her to make one with a background of just #brand approved red from the #brandguidelines. She did so under protest and we went to the meeting with our fingers crossed. We met with the #SVP of #Marketing at Verizon and showed him all the gorgeous #creatives the designer had made. We were in the meeting for almost 2 hours before I asked the designer to show him the plain red one. She made a face at me (like this one 😒) and proceeded to open the file. The client immediately chose the #ad with the plain red #background over all the others. The designer was disappointed to say the least. This made me realize that despite my knowing and caring about the #client expectations I had not accounted for the staff's. I had to adjust my style of handling these situations after that. Have you ever mismanaged expectations? Have you ever not realized that simple can often be better? Because if so I want to read about it. Please tell me your stories in the comments and stay tuned for more #AdventuresInAdvertising

I found this Interesting. At IPG shop FCB New York, employees are encouraged to be in the office Tuesday through Thursday, with a unique tradition called "That Thursday Thing" (TTT) taking center stage. TTT, a weekly creative salon and team-wide meeting, has become a critical ritual fostering creativity, teamwork, and communication. Led by CEO Emma Armstrong and CCO Michael Aimette, TTT kicks off with casual catch-ups on weekly events, followed by discussions on agency-specific business, new hires, and updates on major projects. The "Work Crush" segment features employees sharing and evaluating advertising or art that inspires them. TTT also includes a question time segment, promoting internal transparency and participation. The structure aims to involve the entire company, ensuring everyone is informed and invested in the agency's success. Beyond the professional aspects, TTT fosters a sense of camaraderie, with some employees continuing discussions over drinks after the meeting concludes at 5 pm. #AgencyCulture #Creativity #TeamBuilding How's your company encouraging collaboration and bonding?

It's easy to overlook the beauty that surrounds us daily. However, Adam Hillman has embraced the challenge of transforming simple everyday items into stunning works of art, reminding us of the hidden wonder in our routine lives. By creatively repurposing mundane objects, this artist crafts pieces that capture the beauty in the collision of everyday things, weaving together elements of surprise and familiarity. 1) Transformation Through creativity demonstrates how creativity can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. It encourages us to look beyond the surface and see potential art in every object around us. 2) Sustainability and Art: The repurposing of everyday items not only challenges our perceptions of art but also highlights the importance of sustainability. 3) Finding Beauty in the Unexpected: The true essence of this art approach lies in its ability to find beauty in unexpected places and combinations. This perspective can inspire us to appreciate the hidden beauty in our daily lives and surroundings, enriching our everyday experiences. Let's appreciate the art around us and consider how we might use creativity to transform our world, one ordinary thing at a time.

We are a British born agency, with strong internal values and best in class working practices, so it was important for me to carry on this legacy in the Paris office and offer this level of working environment to people and brands who want to work with us. Mixing local talent and London best in class creative services through our studios.” To celebrate this milestone feature, throughout the week, we’ll share all the fantastic campaigns that have defined the journey and shaped the Paris office over the past year.

SVP - Global Marketing & Communications | Robosoft Technologies - The Experience Engineering Company
Interesting how the context of a classic creative idea is tied to the times we live in. This 1994 ad, by AMV BBDO is both a clever use of the medium and a word play cueing 'brand for senior management folks'. In today's hybrid work model and maybe even lack of the proverbial 'corner office' which was reserved for the big boss maybe a different context would be needed. #advertising

@theicg has come of age with a great new name and smart new livery that reflects who we are - a creative, dynamic, resourceful and very friendly group of insights specialists! So, have a think about what we could do for you? #insights #consultants #marketresearch #specialists
Proud to be launching our brand refresh today - we think it summarises everything that is positive about the ICG - our members' expertise, vibrancy, professionalism and diversity, as well as the sense of community that comes from being part of the group. Special thanks to everyone who made this happen including Melanie Sramek-Bennett (graphic designer), Lynne Guthrie (ICG member and marketing specialist) and all the ICG committee. We look forward to sharing more about our re-brand with you all at #QuirksLondon tomorrow (and if that's not enough to grab you, the cakes we've sponsored hopefully will). #rebrand #branding #refresh #community #SMEs #independents #insight

Yesterday was my last day at Leo Burnett Detroit. To be leaving on my own terms for a better opportunity is a privilege I don’t take lightly—and one that many of my colleagues in this city-wide shakeup don’t currently have. (People with advertising chops and years of experience far beyond my own.) Not to get too think-piecey about it, but people need to understand the insane degree of ad talent in this town. A criminally misused, or misunderstood degree. Automotive work tends to hide the brushstrokes. But it’s damned hard to make. The corporate crucible through which any automotive idea has to travel toward its final form is so lengthy, so uniquely severe, that if it still has a modicum of heart and soul by the time it hits your TV screen, I can assure you it started life as a lightning bolt. That frequently demoralizing process requires a highly specialized, inordinately stubborn brand of creative. A masterful masochist in love with the CRAFT, however screwed up the PROCESS. And Detroit is full of them: world-class creatives yet to receive their flowers. As for me, I’ll never take for granted how special it felt to have such an intimate influence on a historic brand like Cadillac day in, day out. I felt a bit like sweaty Oz behind the curtain. Some fool who stumbled into an accidental amount of power over the creative direction of an American legacy. Most Cadillac spots that reached broadcast over the past 2 years started as a blank word doc on my computer, and for that opportunity I am forever indebted to the amazing leaders I worked with at LBD. Giant brands are unwieldy creatures, careening not necessarily in the direction of good ideas but the weight of their own gravity. An iceberg is going to keep sliding where it wants to, no matter how disruptive and category-defying the concepts you pitch it as it slides. But for those of us masochists still in love with the craft, I guess we’ll wake up Monday and keep yelling at the icebergs.

Executive Creative Producer manifesting artists visions through integrity, community & collaboration
Wowee! Happy to announce that I've been invited to speak at the upcoming Henry Stewart Creative Production Conference coming up May 16th 2024 in New York! This year's Creative Production conference explores “The Power of Change”. With the creative landscape evolving rapidly, we find ourselves at a crucial moment, considering the transforming role and immense potential of Creative Production as a core pillar of the creative process. “The Power of Change” is not only a reflection of the rapid evolution in the industry but also a call to action to proactively lead and thrive amidst these shifts. My talk is entitled " Rising Stars, Rising Standards": The creative production industry finds itself at a critical juncture, balancing between two contrasting paths. On one side, there's a harmonious collaboration between professionals and artists, focusing on values that prioritize people and the planet. Conversely, there's a focus on efficiency and maximizing profits. Often at the expense ofethical and environmental concerns. I will share the steps I have taken to navigate this challenge; exploring key learnings and successes. I invite you to engage in the session and asks, what if we establish clear value systems and empower industry professionals to become agents of change? Let’s re-imagine a production industry, that carefully crafts products, services, and projects with an ethical lens. Come join me to hear more about this thought experiment and also with others exploring all realms of change for our industry.
