Call To Action

141: Lessons in Creative Leadership with Coca-Cola’s Adam Ross.


Listen Later

This week we asked “Is Pepsi okay?” to bait and catch Coca-Cola Creative Lead, Adam Ross. 

Creative Lead for Coca-Cola across the ASEAN & South Pacific region, Adam is responsible for translating and elevating global core creative ideas regionally and locally, wrangling agencies around the world, and driving thought leadership across the business.

So, gather on a Hilltop and listen as we sing on working on impactful campaigns for the Met Police, the power of brand and why it’s far from dead, “leaving loudly”, serendipity, the power of a great brief, going from agency to client side at Coca-Cola, Cantona, being an agency whisperer, balancing parenthood and leaderships and loads more.
