Hello adnerds. And welcome to The A-List, the podcast that asks the world’s top advertising professionals how they got started in the business. In this episode, Tom Christmann talks with Matt MacDonald, who was just promoted to Chief Creative Officer of BBDO New York. His story starts in Peoria Illinois, where he was the first generation of his family NOT to work at the Caterpillar factory making tractors. His journey went from the high school speech team to working at a local Peoria ad agency to UT Austin and eventually New York City, where he arrived just in time for 9/11 and all the havoc it brought to the city. This is a story about adaptation, loving the process and doing whatever it takes to live your dream. With plenty of practical advice and funny stories along the way.
The A-List is sponsored by Adhouse Advertising School, where summer zoom classes will be starting the week of June 13. You get ten weeks for just $799 USD. Classes fill up fast and it’s first come first served, so register early at adhousenyc.com.
You can find Tom Christmann at tomchristmann.net and on most social platforms @ mongoindustries. Thanks for listening. And, as always, thanks to Ross Hopman at Duotone Audio for the music.
