Strategists Karan Taneja and Syed Shozab Abbas recently shared a bunch of practice strategies online. In this episode, we look at five of them:

 Selling Playstation 5 to 45+ dads in a midlife crisis
 Selling Sleepwell mattresses to pregnant women
 Selling Woodland to stay-at-home dads
 Selling therapy to bodybuilders
 Selling Fastrack to grandparents

Syed describes himself as a perennial ad geek while Karan is a chef-turned-strategist. They were classmates who decided to put their thinking into public to land their first strategy jobs.

Top Ten Strategist Traits - Live From Hell's Kitchen

Alexandre Kazuo Kubo and Lucas Ribeiro are Associate Creative Directors at McCann New York. Recently, they published a guide on having and expressing award-winning advertising ideas.
It's relatively rare for employed big-agency creatives to publish like this so I took the opportunity to get them to talk us through their free guide while forcing them to indulge me in my love of Brazil and Brazil funk.


Their guide is here:
