PADCast episode 14 'The Business of Creativity' is LIVE!

Click link in our bio to hear Carol Mackay and Greg Branson from the Design Business Council, Australia’s only advisory consultancy focused on the business of design. They discuss the future of Australian creativity, the difference between design impact and design value, and where to find all the ‘creative unicorns.’

Hosted by Dan Agostino and Tara Lyle

Produced by Calle BolmgrenRecorded at Digital Loop Studio

In May 2024, WAMA and Edith Cowan University released a groundbreaking report that provides rich insight into the state of diversity and inclusion in the Western Australian (WA) marketing and commercially creative industries. While there is DEI data for the global and national advertising industries, this inaugural survey is the first of its kind in WA.

So we invited some of the project team for the report to dig a little deeper: Tess Palmyre from Brandable, Kevin Wilson from Nani Creative and Rene LeMerle from Bonfire!

Hosts: Leigh Wood and Dan Agostino

Studio: Digital Loop

Episode 9 is out! Ting Sia and Tim Ewers are back with Lady Leigh Woods and Amy Mason. This time they talked about the Student Skulls Ad & Graphic Design category and much more. Thanks so much for listening!

Ting has been the driving force of the PADC Student Skulls since the dawn of time. This year he involved Tim Ewers and Dan Moore as judges in the Student Skulls UX/UI category so they sat down and spoke about that, how difficult feedback can be, the industry, and all things UX/UI!

Have a listen. Especially if you're a student!

Folks! This episode is hosted by Tia and Dan Agostino interviewing Nick Ace from NYC! New York City! Our Chair of Judges for the Brand & Design jury.

He is an award-winning Armenian-American designer and filmmaker.

His work has been featured in business, culture, and style media including Forbes, Fast Company, Vice, Pitchfork, Refinery29, and Design Observer, among others.

On the weekends, Nick can be found writing and directing short films and music videos. 

Other clients Nick has worked with include Ford Motor Company, Human Rights Foundation, Matador Records, and HBO.

He spoke over the phone to Tia and Dan Agostino sitting here in Perth in the beautiful Digital Loop studio. Give it a listen!

Berney is back in the studio, this time as an interviewer to his best mate Dav Tabeshfar! Dav is a successful Creative Director who has worked at big agencies, with big and small clients, won heaps of awards, and is now since 6 years back running his own advertising agency 'And Partners' that's currently going through an exciting merger.

They spoke about Dav's background, Vote Yes, the merger, 303 days, and a super slow but super good ad campaign they worked on back then.

The sudden ending to the episode was due to Calle's computer issues, but we got a good 30 minutes to soak in here of the wonderful Dav. Give it a listen now!

Two PADC committee members. Two expats. Two people who create very different work. Rachel Wong and Calle Bolmgren have lots in common in the creative community here in Perth so we thought we'd let them have a casual conversation about it all.
