Archana Mahadevan is VP, Director of Strategy at DDB Chicago.
Archana was born in India and came to the United States to attend college. She has been here ever since.
While in India, Archana was obsessed with advertising, and wanted to prove to everyone that she could do it. So she combined her need to start over, her desire to work in advertising, and her urge to leave her country and grow professionally to come to the USA.

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:
