Listen "If Advertising is dying, for Ben James the Industry appears to be Ripe for Resurrection. "
Episode Synopsis
On this 5th episode of the third season of the Loud and Clear Podcast, Award-winning Creative Director, Inventor & Storyteller, Ben James joins in a conversation about the future of the Ad Agency structure and how to build teams that deliver work that is empathetic and powerful from the ground up. As a true advocate for the industry, he recognizes that the way to improve is by being in constant motion and change, challenging the status quo, and recognizing what sucks about it, but also what is great. He understands what the industry "wants" but tries to focus on what the industry "needs" in tune with consumers, culture, and people's personal life experiences.
There's a lot of work to be done, and this conversation simply aims to add to the unstoppable sea of change looming in the Ad and Marketing industries. From building teams that trigger innovation to education to how it could potentially play out on a space like WEB3 and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO's) where the possibilities are endless and the opportunity visible as long as we keep breaking paradigms
Ben James has held positions at D Magazine, Crispin Porter + Bugosky, TDA_Boulder, Young & Rubicam Group, J. Walter Thompson and T Brand Studio.
