Tina Tackett is Co Executive Creative Director at the Loomis Agency, and I had the pleasure of working with Tina and Creative Director Jim Green earlier this year. Tina delivers an extraordinary eye for design, a strong talent for art direction and a creative mind for marketing. In this one zoom chat, Tina Tackett basically shows us filmmakers how she picks her directors to collaborate with on her shoots. Thank you Tina for these invaluable insights. Y’all should check out these spots cuz we chat about them in depth and they’re great. Stanley Steemer work is gorgeous and gross and enjoyed here. And the “Thanks for Everything” below was a tribute that Loomis did to salute the folks keeping us feed. Rug Doctor is classic comedy I love.

Thanks for Everything from LOOMIS on Vimeo.

My friend Stew Redwine is both Creative Director at Oxford Road and a talented commercial filmmaker. We discussed how marketers in the Age of Coronavirus have to walk a fine line between being too opportunistic and too passive to help. We’ve seen advertisers really step up in the last two weeks since we recorded this chat. 

Be sure to read Stew’s article on the subject here. And here is just one of his spots he directed for NetSuite.

Thanks,

Jordan
