Steve Williams, Undnyable Partner/Exec Creative Director, joins me in an informative and entertaining chat about making commercials soup to nuts. (We’ve shot six fun spots for Kaiser Permanente, but we’ve never been on set together due to that pesky pandemic.) We discuss running the agency from concepting and strategy to shooting the spots. We cover the importance of being nimble with the ability to scale, and how to stay in one’s lane. Great talk!

Steve is I’m an experienced and highly-awarded creative leader who believes that simple, disruptive ideas can drive brands and influence culture, no matter the medium or audience. I balance a strong point of view with a love of collaboration.

Check out the work Steve and his Undnyable Partner Justin Hooper do here. And this well-targeted ad for CMO’s:

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.

It’s our 300th episode! And there’s no better way to celebrate than with my good friend Executive Creative Director Chuck Meehan giving us the straight scoop on commercials and his process for selecting filmmakers. We talk about what makes a great ad, how the production process has been sped up to its detriment and much more. 

Our Chrysler Pacifica collaborations starring Kathryn Hahn remain a career high for me. 

I’m helping with a GoFundMe to get a new sustainable-fuel disaster response bus to help Veterans respond and rebuild America after hurricanes with Team Rubicon, please donate. Veterans Green Bus 2.0 is the name and the video explains more!

Thanks,

Jordan
