Episode 087- Margaret Johnson on Creating Super Bowl Ads
In 2023, Goodby Silverstein & Partners created the Doritos Super Bowl spot featuring Jack Harlow, Missy Elliott, and Elton John.
On this episode, I sat down with GS&P’s Chief Creative Officer and Partner, Margaret Johnson, to talk all things Super Bowl. It’s a behind the scenes into what it takes to get from concept to the big game, and beyond.
About Margaret Johnson:
Margaret is a 25-year veteran of GS&P and leads the agency’s Creative department, a position she assumed in 2015 after being named a partner in 2012. In 2016 she was named the agency’s first Chief Creative Officer.
Under her leadership, GS&P was named the “Most Innovative Advertising Agency” and the 36th “Most Innovative Company” in the world by Fast Company in 2021, “Agency of the Year” by Campaign and Forbes with Ad Age picking the agency as a runner-up to “Agency of the Year” in 2019 and 2020. In 2021 Ad Age crowned Margaret “Chief Creative Officer of the Year” and Campaign named Margaret “Creative Person of the Year.” Over the years, she has been recognized as one of the industry’s top chief creative officers by Forbes, Business Insider, Adweek and The Drum.
Margaret serves on the board of the One Show, was a founding member of the 3% conference and co-founded non-profit Daughters of the Evolution with her daughter, Vivian, who was nine years-old at the time. In 2019, the non-profit created Lessons in HerStory, an app that was launched at SXSW and uses augmented reality to celebrate stories of women typically omitted from history textbooks. Over the past year, the app won every coveted creative award, including Gold Cannes Lions and the prestigious White Pencil at D&AD.
