🎙️ This Episode: Dear Deidre 2026, Part 2
Our Deidre’s are back. This time, they are asked the questions no one wants to answer.
Featuring:
👩💼 Raakhee Thompson – Executive Client Director at The Bloc
🧠 Kieran Delaney – Executive Creative Director at Cherry Thinking
🎨 Paul Foster – Co-Founder and Executive Creative Director at Atomic Matter
This episode delivers straight-talking answers, practical advice, and a few uncomfortable truths along the way. As with Part 1, the discussion is driven by anonymous questions submitted by the industry, the kind people usually keep to themselves or save for a post-work rant.
💡 Topics include:
Expect a sharp, relatable conversation that pulls back the curtain on agency life today. Strong opinions, practical takeaways, and moments that get a little too real await.
⚠️ Warning: Contains strong language, raw opinions, and things you probably shouldn’t say out loud near HR 😬😬
Not all awards are created equal.
