Our previous seasons are now easier than ever to navigate, providing you with a look back at the faces we’ve met and the knowledge we’ve gained, and more inside knowledge, expertise, and insight is coming to you soon. Join us in the coming weeks as we kick off Season 3 with a group discussion on social amplification featuring Nick Law, Joe Alexander, and Rich Silverstein.

In the final part of our interview with Chuck Porter, we get to know a little more about Chuck while he finds himself in the “hot seat” as we enter The Buzz Round.

In part 3 Chuck talks about various ad campaigns. Such as Dominos’ “Pizza Turnaround”, the Microsoft ads with Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld, and the “Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch” Burger King spots with Hootie and the Blowfish’s Darius Rucker and Brooke Burke. We also discuss women in the agency.

Our conversation with Chuck Porter, Chairman of CP+B, continues. Chuck gives honest advice on how to make an agency great and talks more in depth about the “baby carrot” campaign, the relationship between client and advertising agency, and how to measure the success of a company.

We traveled to Coconut Grove, FL to sit with Chuck Porter the Chairman of CP+B. Part One opens with Chuck telling us about some embarrassing pitch stories such as Diet Rite Cola and Ricola. We also learn how Chuck gets into the ad business and what gets him excited to still be in the business today. Stay tuned for part 2.

In part 5 we get a personal agency tour and an inside look at Deutsch Los Angeles by Chad Saul the EVP, Chief Marketing Officer. During the tour we get a special cameo by Mike Sheldon, Chad tells us all about the various clients Deutsch has, a look at different props from past TV spots, and Chad tells us about Deutsch’s involvement in Habitat for Humanity.

Special thanks to Mike, Chad and the hole Deutsch LA team.

This special one-day event is geared toward providing real solutions to the lack of diversity in advertising creative departments. It will include speakers, testimonials from creatives of African-American backgrounds, portfolio reviews for students and professionals, and sessions with agency recruiters. Attendees will have the opportunity to tell recruiters and creative directors why they would be the right choice for a creative hire.

The overall goal of the event is to have as many participants as possible walk away with a job offer, a confirmed second interview, or a paid internship. Participants will have the opportunity to connect with mentors, make industry contacts, and develop a valuable professional network.

The BuzzBubble will be streaming live coverage of the keynote speeches by Jeff Goodby and Jimmy Smith, the live talent pitch session open to attendees, and the “How I got into Advertising” panel in which minority creatives will share their professional experiences. You can read our complete coverage schedule and watch the events streaming live right here on The BuzzBubble.

We’ll learn what type of music he likes – and what he doesn’t – find out his flavor preferences, and pick up some trivia not very many people know about Mike. Watch for all this and more on this episode of The BuzzBubble.

Thanks to Rich, Jeff and the entire GSP team.

We discuss how a good idea gets better, and why NOT to use turd polish.
Have Rich and Jeff changed AT ALL in 20 years? Find out…

Then we get to know Rich: Things no one knows about Rich… Rich’s alternate occupations, and hobbies, rare footage of Rich racing a Formula ONE race car and his cameo appearance in the movie Breaking Away.

The Secret to juggling his 3 balls… of life: Family, Work & Sport. We find out what’s on his iPOD and then we rip into The Buzz=Round. All this and a bag of chips, this week on the buzzbubble.

Rich and Kevin start chatting it up about, believe it or not, “Traditional Advertising” and cover some of Rich’s latest, and quite greatest, innovative photography & upcoming print work. He’s a designer every day, he says, and you can’t take the designer out of the boy…

Then they migrate to “Planning” .. where does it belong in the process?
Somehow this leads them into “Email tone”… How do you translate, and the dreaded ALL CAPS email!

They move into the “How’d Rich get his start” conversation… from chiseling wood in NY to coining the modern advertising vernacular in San Fran, and the early days of working for Hal Riney on Billy Ball… and let’s be clear, Jeff was always his favorite. Tune in and hear about the “Devil and the Angel” this week on the buzzbubble.

This week, Rich and Kevin discuss agency integration and find out if we can play together in the sandbox with other agencies.

Selling Work – does it happen? How does GSP do it? And, the influences from Rich’s time with Hal Riney.

Crowd Sourcing Super Bowl spots?  Yes or no? And, more importantly, were there penises in the ice cubes in art school?

Lastly, Rich Silverstein invents “The Superbowl of Commercials,” with a flag football game between agencies at halftime – you heard it first here!

Tune in now!

In Part 2, Kevin and Rich get into the significance of the Superbowl as a medium and the great GSP work (Doritios & etc)  that goes with it, or as Rich says, the work he hates… Find out why, and why he really isn’t “an ad guy”.

We get into the evolution of Rich Silverstein and Jeff Goodby as a duo, or lack thereof (per Rich), and find out why art directors show up at 8am & copy writers maybe by 10…

We continue with the the growth of GSP’s 3D department and amazing HP work, then wrap with Rich’s version of the birth of “got milk?”  Check it out! >>>

We traveled to San Francisco to sit with Rich Silverstein, co-chairman and creative director of Goodby-Silverstein & Partners, an agency who lives by the credo “Art Serving Capitalism” and whose history runs from “Got Milk?” to recent Doritos Super Bowl spots that created waves across America.   Part One opens with a priceless story from Rich revealing his “most stupid moment” with Goodby (in a elevator) and we move on to Nick Law’s question for Rich about maintaining a culture and great creative work during rapid growth. We discus GS&P‘s physical expansion, move on to his part in Art & Copy and discuss his great influences like George Lois and the late great Hal Riney before pausing for part 2.

Tune in now - and Share this one with friends and colleagues!

We wrap our time with Nick discussing hanging with the One Club, Cannes Jury and making awesome awards show case study videos. Then we move on to R/GA visionary and CEO Bob. What about BOB? (Greenberg).

Then we get to know Nick in The Buzz-Round and see if Nick likes “this” or “that”, and what this and that really is, like his favorite compound curse word, does Nick have a Motto? Find out what makes Nick vomit through his nose and lastly a Nick question for Rich Silverstein and see who he’d most like to interview, as we complete our interview with the creative great, Nick Law.
