Shoutouts to all the Dallas strategists who came down to Happiest Hour last night. It was great to be among people for many reasons including how the pandemic made that impossible for a long long time.

In this walk around the Bishop Arts District, I talk about strategic rigor and try to re-explain a LinkedIn post about the job title “multicultural” strategist.

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:
