This episode was actually recorded as our pilot but the creative love affair you’re about to experience is actually an infatuation and we love it! Storythings’ Hugh Garry met up with long time friend of the business, Graham Wylie (Senior Director of Marketing at Sage) to deep dive into his love of HBO’s, The Last Of Us, starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.

Graham’s child-like innocence bubbles to the surface as soon as he locks in on his love of the show. but he also takes us beyond the small screen and has multiple fan boy moments over the book and video game - which we call a “Super Format” here at Storythings. The Last Of Us is a big part of Graham’s world and his pupils become pulsating hearts when he talks about world building, the jaw-dropping narrative arcs and how he’s bonded with his children who also share a love of show.

This is a creative conversation not just for fans of The Last Of Us but for people who fan the fire of their fandom on multiple levels.

For the second episode of Creative Crush, Storythings’ Hugh Garry sits down with Jinal Shah (Chief Customer & Marketing Officer at Zip US) to talk about her creative fascination with Musician, Jon Batiste and Writer, Suleika Jaouad.

Jinal travels back through time to share how she first fell in love with the creative power couple, explores their intangible bond that transcends formats and dives into Suleika’s mantra of “creativity is an act of survival”. Jinal and Hugh also compare notes on the American Symphony documentary (streaming on Netflix), which stars both Jon and Suleika and what they learned about rebounding and resilience.

From “isolation journals” to multiple Grammy Awards and even last minute fandom of The Beatles (it’ll make sense!), this is a conversation for serial creatives who aim to be in harmony with the world and themselves.

In the first episode of Creative Crush, Glyn Britton (CMO of SQE), joins Storythings' Hugh Garry to share his creative love affair with Parade by Prince.

For Glyn, this is the album that made his heart flutter as a young teen, expanded his world growing up in a quiet Northern English town and stayed with him throughout his journey into marketing.

Glyn also shares why he thinks Under The Cherry Moon (the film to which Parade is the soundtrack) is a dud. From favourite deep cuts to the engineers behind the recording, Glyn and Hugh explore the musicianship, mystery and relentless work ethic that made Prince unlike anyone else.
