Katie Jackson is the Managing Director of TBWA\London. She’s also been described as Mary Poppins on steroids and is great fun to interview.

On publishing day, I realised I hadn’t given this episode a great / cheesy name, so it became The Episode With No Name – creative, right?

In TEWNN, we talk about

· Being Mary Poppins on steroids

· Disruption and TBWA’s approach to it

· Why ‘brand’ isn’t a fluffy term

· T shaped v I shaped marketers

· How the government has communicated it’s COVID messaging

· Why creative is essential

· Media and messaging being best mates

· Formal education v learning on the job

· Hun wines

· The power of oops (or when things go wrong)

· The power of being yourself

· A T.O.P.T.I.P for everyone

Katie was brilliant to interview and shares some fantastic insights into marketing, campaigns and brands which will resonate with everyone.
