When Efficiency Isn’t Enough In The High-Stakes Game Of Media Planning In New York - Nathan Brown, CSO


Listen Later

Nathan Brown is Global Chief Strategy Officer for UM in New York. We worked in the same building on William St in Sydney about 15 years ago.

Nathan was a breath of fresh air. He built teams that expected to do creative things with their clients’ media buys. He was a good coach and easy to collaborate with.

He’s still all of these things. But many years have passed since we worked together so I wanted to see how a coach-oriented, creative thinker was faring in the high-stakes game of media planning in New York.

We discuss a lot of C-words:

- Creativity in media planning,
- Media buying as a commodity,
- Being a CEO of PHD Media,
- Being a CSO,
- Culture,
- Collaborating with advertising agencies,
- Clients, and
- Whether Nathan is a company man at heart :)
