Martin SorrellGUEST
capturing it.
Martin SorrellGUEST
The agencies, the traditional agencies, the agencies that I grew up with, whether it be Saatchi's or WPP, their models... are traditional legacy models, which are under huge strain.
Martin SorrellGUEST
They're models based on time and materials.
Martin SorrellGUEST
So the longer that it took to make a television commercial...
25 MINS LATER
Martin SorrellGUEST
And he did say, you know, I over-egged the point to make the point.
Martin SorrellGUEST
But what he was saying was that it was going to be a globalization of taste.
Martin SorrellGUEST
That shaped what I did at Saatchi's.
Martin SorrellGUEST
Manhattan Landing, if you remember that famous British Airways commercial where Manhattan is lifted up and goes across the Atlantic.
Graham HillHOST
Something else I will podcast about is what causes people to make decisions.
Graham HillHOST
Kevin Roberts, former CEO worldwide of advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi, and author of Love Marks, The Future Beyond Brands, someone who knows a little bit about what causes people to buy, has explained that buying decisions are 80% emotional and 20% rational or reasoned.
Graham HillHOST
And this surprisingly applies to B2B, business to business, as well as consumer buying decisions.
Graham HillHOST
And people buy things for the strangest of emotional reasons, but then go on to justify the emotional purchase using a rational reason.
CourtneyHOST
Bit of light.
CourtneyHOST
Into what is quite hallowed ground in the old Saatchi and Saatchi building.
CourtneyHOST
And we're having this big party tomorrow, which is to launch this space.
CourtneyHOST
And you've really welcomed the whole tech ecosystem in.
Luke MiltonGUEST
I'd do my first client at 6 a.m., 7 a.m., 8 a.m., 9 a.m., have a little bit of a break, have a coffee, do a lunchtime client.
Luke MiltonGUEST
Then I'd do a corporate wellness client, which was Saatchi & Saatchi, which is where Kerry was working, my wife at the time.
Luke MiltonGUEST
And then you'd get home about seven o'clock.
Luke MiltonGUEST
We'd have dinner together.
Maisie McCabeGUEST
And, you know, there's sort of these, I guess, similar sort of generation of leaders.
Maisie McCabeGUEST
So Robert Senior was running Saatchi & Saatchi at the time, and I think was basically blindsided by Johnny's scoop of the Toyota account.
Maisie McCabeGUEST
They'd been under, as my understanding at the time is, they'd been underserviced.
Maisie McCabeGUEST
I think the media was, relationship was quite strong, but the creative had been underserviced, and Johnny obviously articulated very clearly about how they could offer this sort of combined TMP solution, which is still, you know, exists to this day.
Matt BrittonHOST
So would love to, as we wrap up here, talk a little bit about your career journey.
Matt BrittonHOST
At the beginning of your career, you worked at sort of like a who's who of big advertising agencies from Ogilvy to Goodby to McCann to Saatchi.
Matt BrittonHOST
Incredible firms, obviously, and one benefit as someone who has spent a lot of time in the ad industry myself is that you get to work across multiple categories.
Matt BrittonHOST
which I think is really interesting versus just being kind of tunnel vision.
Claudine CheeverGUEST
And then I think maybe one of the things that I made at the time was painful and difficult, but I look back on now is going from the creative side to the media side.
Claudine CheeverGUEST
And I think we might have met when I was working in media when we first met.
Claudine CheeverGUEST
I went from Saatchi and Saatchi, yeah, to MediaVest and went and worked for Laura Desmond, who's still an incredible person.
Claudine CheeverGUEST
friend and mentor.
Robin BonnHOST
We can do anything.
Robin BonnHOST
Nothing is impossible to, to borrow from Saatchi & Saatchi.
Robin BonnHOST
It's somewhat at odds with this idea of this is where we win, this is where we don't win.
Robin BonnHOST
So one of the things we see come out, certainly in our work and, and just more generally and, and certainly in my, you know, career history when I was inside agencies, helping a leader make firm decisions about what it's not gonna do anymore, you know, what that organization is not going to do anymore versus where it's gonna place its chips.
Connie ClarksonGUEST
Very cool.
Connie ClarksonGUEST
Last night we were at the – I took six of our entrepreneurs, so proud of them, to the opening of Serco House, which is the old Saatchi and Saatchi building in Parnell.
Connie ClarksonGUEST
Beautiful, beautiful building that used to be the Wool Store.
Connie ClarksonGUEST
many, many, many moons ago.
Brian AshtonGUEST
It came from a guy called Kevin Roberts.
Brian AshtonGUEST
who was world chief executive of Saatchi and Saatchi for 17 years, was a boy at Lancaster Old Grammar School.
Brian AshtonGUEST
He knew me.
Brian AshtonGUEST
I didn't know him because he was four years younger than me.
Chris ConnorsGUEST
First job was, I was very lucky.
Chris ConnorsGUEST
I somehow managed to get through interviews and started working in advertising at the affiliate of Saatchi & Saatchi, which at that time was, of course, it's hard to put into context, but advertising was like the thing in the 90s.
Chris ConnorsGUEST
Yeah,
KianaHOST
it's like AI now.
