Show Notes
You wouldn't expect one of the biggest champions of creativity in Australia to come out of Scotch College and be part of the Melbourne Establishment. But Russel Howcroft uses his position, platform and access to the C-Suite to passionately advocate for the power of creativity to transform business. It has been a constant across his storied career, from his position as one of Australia's most powerful advertising leaders as CEO of Patts Y&R, to his move into consulting as PWC's first ever Chief Creative Officer and now with the fast-growing Sayers, to becoming a media personality featuring on our screens via Gruen and on our airwaves as co-host of Melbourne's top-rating breakfast show on 3AW. The only thing he is as passionate about as creativity is his beloved Melbourne Demons (naturally). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
